U.S. strikes violating Pak sovereignty: Zardari, Gilani

President Asif Zardari and Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani have agreed on not taking loan on tough IMF conditions. According to sources, the Prime Minister called on the President here at Aiwan-e-Saddar and briefed him about Turkey's visit. They also exchanged views on the country's political situation, war on terror and the recent earthquake in Balochistan. Condemning the U.S. drone raids within Pakistan territory, both the leaders termed strikes as attack on sovereignty and autonomy of the country. They agreed to decide about taking IMF loan after the economic experts of the country who are presently in talks with the IMF review the strings attached to it in detail. The IMF loan will not be accepted if the conditions attached to it are found to be against the interest of the country.
