LAHORE, July 5: Jamatud Dawa ameer Hafiz Muhammad Saeed has said the Pakistani government should take bold steps to stop drone attacks.

Addressing a rally against drone attacks at Chauburji here on Friday, he said the biggest challenge for the government was to tackle drone attacks and American policies.

He urged the Chief Justice of Pakistan to take suo motu notice on drone attacks and identify the people who allowed them in the country. “Drone strikes, target killings and suicide attacks are inter-connected,” he said.
