President Asif Ali Zardari has strongly condemned the rudimentary drone attacks carried out by Afghan Taliban elements aimed at targeting civilian areas in Pakistan.
In a statement, he emphasized that the illegitimate regime of Afghanistan installed by terror and brute force continues to renege on its commitments not to provide safe sanctuaries to terrorist groups and now has the audacity to provoke a major military power of the Islamic world.
Asif Ali Zardari said the Afghan terrorist regime has crossed a red line by attempting to target our civilians while Pakistan remains engaged in efforts to promote peace and stability in the Gulf region and West Asia.
He said the illegitimate and terrorist Taliban regime has brought grave consequences upon itself by crossing this red line.
The President expressed his best wishes for the speedy recovery of children and other civilians injured by drone debris in Quetta, Kohat and Rawalpindi.
Asif Ali Zardari also reaffirmed that Pakistan’s armed forces and security institutions remain fully committed to the defence of the country and the protection of its people.
