By Xinhua,
Islamabad : Prime Minister Yousuf Raza GilaniFriday said the National Security Advisor Mahmud Ali Durrani was sacked in the country’s best interest and for good governance.
He made the remarks when talking to reporters after attending a seminar on “Democracy in Pakistan.”
Gilani dismissed Durrani on Wednesday after Durrani told media that a preliminary investigation by Pakistan had established that Ajmal Amir Kasab, the lone attacker captured by India for the Mumbai attacks, was a Pakistani national.
Durrani had told the media that he spoke on the issue of Kasab after getting clearance from security agencies, according to the News Network International news agency.
Gilani said he had evolved a strategy for dealing with issues like Kasab’s nationality which was “not followed.”
