Pakistan has once again told the United States to respect its sovereignty, pointing out that the drone strikes are illegal, counterproductive and violate the country’s integrity and sovereignty. During a weekly briefing on Thursday, Foreign Office Spokesman Moazzam Ahmed Khan said “we have repeatedly made it clear to the United States that these attacks are unacceptable”. He said Islamabad regards the drone strikes as illegal, counterproductive and violative of our integrity and sovereignty. He said it was “in our mutual interest that the United States respect the recommendations of Pakistan’s parliament”.
He said Pakistan had made it clear that the future contours of relationship with the United States would be based on the recommendations made by the parliament. Khan said that no decision had yet been taken on the restoration of NATO supply lines. We are currently in the process of finalising the work plan for effective implementation of the parliamentary recommendations, he said, adding, “We want to have normal relations with Washington.” However, he assured that all decisions would be made in accordance with the parliament’s recommendations. When asked about Chicago Summit, the spokesman said Pakistan had not yet taken any decision to attend the moot on Afghanistan.

  1. Will this useless gov't and army chief stop trying to fool the public with repeated stupid useless publicity false statements while kissing US behind and shoot down the next drone you sold mfs.. How much did you get paid to make this statement AH??

  2. Gen kayani in his speech of 30th april protested the salala tragedy and 2nd may (obl). No mention of drones- think he knows it in country’s interest- innocent casualty figure is grossly exaggerated by taliban sympathiser’s

  3. that’s a very passive way of displaying condemn. it’s not even about integrity as it is about the loss of innocent human lives, the ineffectiveness of this action and of course, the wasted resources.

  4. Hello there! I simply want to offer you a huge thumbs up for your great information you’ve got right here on this post. I’ll be returning to your website for more soon.
