ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Thursday said it is unfair to call Pakistan a failed state, saying Pakistan is the most stable country of the region.

He said Pakistan has excellent tie with Afghanistan adding stable Pakistan and Afghanistan is in world’s interest.Gilani said the government would hold talks with only those militants who surrendered before their local tribal elders and pledged to end militancy in tribal areas.


Military operation, he said, was not the only option, saying the government was striving to eliminate root causes of terrorism that are poverty and illiteracy. The Jirga system is successful in Pakistan, Gilani said.
