"These strikes have a negative impact on the government’s efforts to bring peace and stability in Pakistan and the region."
Wednesday's strikes killed at least six people. On June 11, two successive drone strikes reportedly killed around 16 people and injured few others.

@Bakhtiyar Ghazi Khan:
Your Prime Minister has not only made arrangements with the Americans but also with the Indian leader in his visit to him, asking for his spport for army indiscriminate areal bombings. You are on your own now in looking after those escaping from bombings including woman and children!!

Overwhelming majority of the citizens of KPK province and FATA condemn these drone attacks.
Most of the comments supporting drone attacks here are from Indian Hindus or MQM supporters, both of which are enemies of Pakistanis and Pukhtoon people.
If the citizens of North Waziristan decide these drone attacks are against their interests, who is anyone sitting in Karachi or New Delhi to say they are wrong. I condemn all these people screaming for the blood of Pukhtoons, shame on them.
No need for this hypocrisy.
Can we stop being duplicitous and two-faced please? They're killing your enemies. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth.
Yawn... everyone knows the drones strike with Pakistan's consent, and we welcome it, to be honest. Let them take out the trash for us.
"violation of its sovereignty and territorial integrity"... Sounds like an "auto reply" notification in the outlook mailbox of Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Please update the draft.
this is getting old. We normal Pakistanis don't have any issues with the drones as long as they are taking out the talibans successfully
when pakis will stop double standard?? if drone kill people terrorist then condemn and if pakistan kill innocent then celebrate!! its sick logic!!!
The government of Pakistan is holding green flag in the right hand and red on its left. Whereas, the green is shown for the drones to strike, the red one for protesting against the attack. So relax, the drone show must go on for the benefit of Pakistan.
Ah, but the Good Taliban / Haqqani terrorist groups enjoying their FATA based Safe Havens are not violating Pakistan's "Sovereignty" because they are INVITED GUESTS!!!
Drones strike maybe a good indicator that the USA thinks that the current offensive is a repeat of the 09 offensive which wasn't very effective and/or the offensive isn't going to target the Haqqani or other terrorist who are targeting Afghan's and American's.
How low can the Pakistani authorities be, they ask them to do it and then condemn it.
US is doing it with Pakistan consent, see report below:

Really? This charade again? Isnt it clear to everyone by now that the Pak Army has asked the US to bomb the terrorist camps in conjunction with our operation? Why is the govt trying to fool the people?
lol
Condemn drone and do whatever with your own Jets and Army.... I do not understand such double standards
Wow drone strike are bad but jet bombing is OK. Make up your mind people.
Today it has become clear Pakistani army is in hand in glove with the American army. I pray to allah to destroy the enemies of our country.
Let's them help us. What peace are you on about?
Why do US has to meddle in every thing.. To throw in their two cent so that in case of victory they can claim it ? Like soviet war
They should stay out of conflict this will get their good image . As used to be in the 60-80
In this war, where army is coordinating with Afghan and American governments to prevent the escape of the enemies of our state and the murderers of our people, PMLN is on the wrong side of the divide. It is actively supporting the terrorists against the Pakistanis. Shame on these cowards.
This government has problem when terrorists are killed but has no problem firing on innocent women in Lahore. Which side is this government on? Certainly not ours.
