Pak doesn't want war: Gilani

Amid strains in ties with India over the Mumbai attacks, Pakistan Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani Monday voiced his opposition to war and vowed not to allow his country's soil to be used for terrorism. "We have never wanted war with anybody... We also want our soil should not be used for terrorism. If our soil is used, NATO forces (based in Afghanistan) will get a chance to react," Gilani said.
Describing Pakistan as a responsible and peaceful nuclear state, he said the country wanted good relations with its neighbours. "We don't want any parallel government in the country and don't want the writ of the government be challenged," he said at the campus of the National University of Science and Technology here, without elaborating who he was referring to.
