Gilani calls for comprehensive review of ties with US

“Clearly,there is a limit to our patience. Cooperation cannot be a one-way street,” Gilani told the parliamentary panel.

The “dastardly” attack was a “grave infringement of Pakistan’s territorial frontiers” by NATO and would “definitely compel us to revisit our national security paradigm”,he said.

“Instructions have been issued to all units of the Pakistan armed forces to respond,with full force,to any act of aggression and infringement of Pakistan’s territorial frontiers,” he told the panel.

Gilani sought recommendations from the panel for a joint session of Parliament that will be convened shortly to discuss the fallout of the NATO attack.

The premier signalled a possible shift in Pakistan’s policy for the US-led war on terror,which Islamabad has supported since the 9/11 terror attacks.

“Our security and counter-terrorism policy needs to be pursued in a manner that suits Pakistan’s national interests,” he said.
