A military operation is not the only solution to the Swat situation, Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani said on Friday, adding that other measures would be taken to tackle the situation. He told journalists after a meeting at the Planning Commission that every step would be taken, with consultation of the provincial government, to restore peace in Swat. Asked about whether Pakistan expects a similar response from India over the Samjhota Express tragedy, as the latter did for the Mumbai attacks, the premier said additional information has been sought from India. He said that action would be taken accordingly after receiving the information. Regarding the award of tickets to the Senate, the premier said a board appointed by the Pakistan People's Party had decided on the people to be nominated.
