"We will neither interfere in the internal affairs of any country, nor will we allow anyone to interfere in our affairs," Yousuf Raza Gilani told private ARY-OneWorld television.The Prime Minister made the remarks on Sunday, reacting to comments made earlier in the day by Afghan President Hamid Karzai who pledged to hit back 'Pakistani militants' hideouts across the border.Karzai said his country had a right to do launch cross border attacks out of "self-defense."Pakistan, however, has strongly opposed any foreign military action on its soil, saying it would amount to a violation of its sovereignty.Gilani said such statements will not help in the normalization of relations between the two countries, adding that Islamabad wanted "friendly" ties with Kabul.Karzai has repeatedly accused the Pakistani government of failing to prevent insurgents active in the tribal zone from slipping into Afghanistan.
