Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani has said that Pakistan supported military actions against terrorists and extremists to safeguard its own interest and for global peace. “We are supporting military action against terrorists and extremists. The terrorists are working against the interest of my country and we are fighting for the peace, prosperity and progress of the entire world,” Gilani said in an interview with ABC News’ political correspondent Lyndal Curtis in Perth before leaving for home.
Prime Minister Gilani said as a frontline state, Pakistan paid a huge price not in form of casualties but also in shape of weakening national economy. He said he had got the Pakistani nation united against the fight against terrorism. “Nobody can win a war without the support of masses. All the political forces [in Pakistan], including parliament, are on the same page,” he said.
