Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani has warned that the Pakistan will explore every available option if NATO does not apologize for violation of its territory.

Responding to a point of order in the National Assembly on Friday, Prime Minister Gilani said Pakistan’s cooperation with NATO and US in the war on terror does not mean that Pakistan has compromised on its sovereignty. "War on terror is our own war and we are fighting it to curb the menace of terrorism from our country," Premier Gilani added.

He said the government has raised the issue with NATO in accordance with international principles. "We have discussed it with Senator Kerry and it will also be raised in Brussels," Prime Minister told the House. He said Pakistan has intelligence, defence, political and economic cooperation with the US and if the allied forces have any credible information regarding terrorist activities they should share it with Pakistani authorities. The Prime Minister made it clear that any violation of Pakistani territory is not acceptable and the government will not allow anyone to violate its security and sovereignty. Earlier, MNA Abdul Qadir Baloch on the point of order urged the parliamentarians to register their protest against NATO attacks, adding that the House should pass a resolution against this violation.

Responding to another point of order, Prime Minister Gilani said government believes in across-the-board transparent accountability and does not believe in political victimization.
