Speaking in the Senate about the Abbottabad operation, Gilani said that the Chief of Army Staff was the first one to inform him about the operation and had called him at 2am that night, however, at that time it was not known who the helicopters belonged to.

He said that if there were any shortfalls in the government’s policies then the Parliament could help in correcting those.
