ISLAMABAD, June 15 (AFP) - Pakistan will not allow anyone to interfere in its internal affairs, Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani said Sunday after Afghan President Hamid Karzai said cross-border attacks on militants were justified. ”We will neither interfere in the internal affairs of any country, nor will we allow anyone to interfere in our affairs,” Gilani told private a private TV channel. Such statements will not help in the normalisation of friendly relations between the two countries and will hurt the sentiments of people on both sides of the border,” he said, however adding he wanted “friendly” ties with Kabul. Gilani countered that Pakistan was taking all possible measure to stop militant activity across the long, rugged frontier. “We are not fighting this war for America but it is our own war and we want to eliminate extremism and terrorism which is the root cause of all evils,” he said.

Amen to the bold part above.
It will be interesting when the new administration goes about doing this deed. When musharraf did so, (in fata and lal masjid) he was labeled as killing innocent pakistani citizens. I am seriously looking for results and I hope taliban salay bayghairats get a dent in their michief.
