Pakistan’s Prime Minister Addresses Parliament
Pakistan’s Prime Minister, Yusuf Raza Gilani, has been speaking in the country’s parliament. It is reported here on the BBC. This is part of the report.
He has launched a defence of Pakistan’s record in fighting terrorism, highlighting the “price paid” in civilian and military losses.
And he strongly denied that there had been any collusion between Pakistan and al-Qaeda to shelter Bin Laden.
“Allegations of complicity and incompetence are absurd,” he told MPs.
The Pakistan people have indeed paid a heavy price, but they have probably suffered just as much because of their inept and corrupt government.
