`There was no need to bypass Pakistan`
[Dawn] Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani has said that Pakistain`s illusory sovereignty should not have been violated keeping in view the longstanding relations with the United States.

Talking about the Abbottabad operation by a US team of Navy Seals, he said the issue of violation of illusory sovereignty was a matter of concern for Pakistain in view of cooperation with the United States in intelligence and defence.

"There was no need to a shortcut or to bypass Pakistain," Mr Gilani told news hounds accompanying him on his three-day visit to La Belle France.

He said that relations with the United States had seen many ups and downs and it would take some large amount of money time to fully normalise relations between the two countries.
