| The war on terror is Pakistan’s war and the elimination of terrorism and extremism will be the new coalition government’s top priority, Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gillani said on Saturday. He was addressing the National Assembly after securing a unanimous vote of confidence. “The war on terror has become our war, because it has posed serious threats to our own country,” the prime minister said. Militants: Gillani said his government was ready to talk to those militants ready to lay down arms. “Some of our people have unfortunately taken the path of violence in the Tribal Areas. We are ready to talk to all the people who are ready to give up arms and negotiate with us for the resolution of their problems,” he said. |
