LAHORE: Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani has said that government is adhering to three-prong strategy i.e. political dialogue, development, and force, to calm down unrest in tribal areas. Talking to various delegations here at State Guest House, the Premier said that government would ensure its writ in tribal areas at all cost. Gilani said provincial government had struck a peace deal with tribal chieftains three months ago but the latter violated the agreement by resorting to hanging the people publicly, kidnapping the minority people and setting ablaze girls schools. “No government can afford a parallel government and we will never compromise country’s sovereignty, dignity and self-respect,” he added. Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani said that Pakistan would not accept any Kashmir solution without involvement of the Kashmiris. Dearness has now become a global issue because oil and edibles’ prices are rocketing sky high throughout the world and this factor created numerous crises for all the countries except the oil-rich states. “Luckily, Pakistan has vital sector of agriculture and we will bring white and green revolutions in the country,” he vowed. |
