LARKANA, July 29: Chairman, Sindh National Front, Mumtaz Ali Bhutto has said that Prime Minister Yusif Raza Gillani would be told by the US to continue war against its people in tribal and border areas.

Talking to visitors in Mirpur Bhutto on Tuesday he questioned that as to what benefit the country would reap from this visit as the US had already announced an aid of Rs7.5 billion to Pakistan. He said the present government had claimed that it would not take new loans but will return Rs325 billion.

He asked as to where the money had gone because people were starving, committing suicides, and mothers selling their babies.
