ISLAMABAD, Jan 14: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) has condemned attacks on Bajaur and Waziristan and demanded that the United States should apologize and compensate losses. In a statement issued here on Saturday, PML-N Central Information Secretary Siddiqueul Farooque condemned the air attack by US planes on a Bajaur village where at least 23 men, women and children were killed.
He said last week also an attack on a Waziristan village by American forces killed eight innocent Pakistani citizens. He said these attacks were in blatant violation of international law, and amounted to attack on Pakistan’s sovereignty. He said the United States should not only offer unconditional apology for these dastardly actions, but also punish the personnel responsible and pay compensation for the loss of life and property.
The PML-N leader said the American forces in Afghanistan were encouraged to violate international border due to ‘apologetic’ and ‘weak’ policy of the present government. Mere formal protest by the Foreign Office only showed that weakness. — Our Reporter
