MULTAN: Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani on Sunday condemned US drone attacks, stating them counterproductive.

Talking about Shah Zain Bugti's arrest, the prime minister said that the case was being investigated and that the government did not believe in revenge politics and does not arrest anyone on political motives.
