Govt has devised strategy to stop drone strikes: Defence Minister

November 9, 2012

Defence Minister Syed Naveed Qamar has said the government has devised a policy to stop drone strikes as they were counterproductive in fighting terrorism. He said the government cannot, at the moment give some timeframe for the termination of drone strikes as they were being made without the agreement of Pakistani government. “Government of Pakistan and leadership of armed forces have repeatedly raised the drone issue and need for their immediate cessation with the US and its military authorities,” Qamar said.
