Pakistan's new president said his nation will not tolerate a violation of its sovereignty by "any power" in the name of fighting terrorism, a clear signal to the U.S. to avoid cross-border strikes.
Asif Ali Zardari also asked Parliament to form a committee to consider reducing the presidential powers enhanced under his predecessor, Pervez Musharraf.
Zardari, the widower of slain ex-Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, made the comments Saturday in a speech to a joint session of Parliament. He leads the main ruling party and was elected president earlier this month.
