Gilani says Taliban courts unacceptable
2009-01-27
A day after 43 officials were summoned to Taliban courts for opposing the group -- Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani said on Monday that a parallel Taliban judiciary is unacceptable. "We will not accept a policy like this," Gilani told reporters after attending the inaugural session of a conference on medical education. The prime minister expressed concern over suspected US drone attacks in the Tribal Areas, and hoped that the new US administration would review its policy. He admitted that the situation in Swat and Balochistan was not normal, but said he had sought a report on developments in these areas to make future plans. About an upcoming lawyers' march, Gilani said it was the legal fraternity's democratic right.

#1  So is Gilani going to head up a party to go and rescue those 43 dudes? No? Didn't think so.
