Holbrooke should not be worried about Pak: Gilani

Islamabad, Apr 20: Pakistan Prime Minister, Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani said that normalcy is returning to the Swat Valley and that no one including the United States should be worried about the situation.

"Pakistan knows well how to safeguard its national interests and the US special envoy Richard Holbrooke should not be worried about situation in Swat," the Daily Times quoted Gilani, as saying.

In an interview to Geo TV, Gilani said that he was not concerned at all with Pak-Taliban chief Maulana Sufi Mohammad's statements that the Supreme Court and High Courts were 'un-Islamic'.

On Sunday, Apr 19 Mohammad had said that the Supreme Court and the High courts were un-Islamic.

He had also threatened the Pakistan Government with dire consequences if the Qazi courts were not set up all over Malakand region and Kohistan within one month.

"The government must establish Dar-ul-Quza at Malakand Division by April 23, otherwise I will not be responsible for the consequences," Sufi warned.
