No double standards, says Nawaz

FAISALABAD: Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif said here on Monday that unlike the previous government, his government would not adopt double standards on the issue of drone attacks. The previous regime used to criticise drone attacks, but silently supported them, he said.

“We hope that drone attacks will end in the days to come,” Mr Sharif said in an address to industrialists, exporters, traders and media personnel.




He said terrorism, suicide bombings and violence were a threat to the country’s sovereignty and the government needed public support to get rid of the menace. All political parties would also be consulted on the issue.

The Foreign Office also lodged protest with the US over drone attacks on Monday, warning that the continued unilateral strikes could set “dangerous precedents” in conduct of inter-state ties.

The protest was prompted by Saturday’s attack in North Waziristan in which two militants riding a motorbike were killed by missiles fired from a CIA operated pilot-less drone.
