Pakistan Tehrik Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan condemned the latest drone attack in North Waziristan as a result of which numerous innocent lives were lost, and decided to observe sit-in on the route of Nato supply on May 21 and 22.
He has appealed to all political forces and the general public to join the protest rallies of Tehrik-i-Insaf He said that with the latest drone attack coming in the wake of the Abbottabad operation that shattered the sovereignty of the country, the US has clearly signalled that it would continue unilateral military action inside Pakistan's territory.
In a statement released here to the press on Saturday, the PTI Chairman, Imran Khan, said that the confused and conflicting statements by the rulers about the operation, which claimed to have killed Osama bin Laden, would only embolden the US to continue its reckless policy of unilateral military operations inside Pakistani territory.
The statement said while Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani termed the Abbottabad operation a "historic success," President Asif Ali Zardari has been reported by WikiLeaks to have given a green signal to the US for unilateral military action inside Pakistan.
Imran said that time had come for the nation to take stock of the precarious security situation that Pakistan is confronted with which is a direct consequence of Pakistan's total capitulation to US pressure in pursuit of its objectives in the war on terror. Events have proved that the NRO government was manufactured to hoist a compromised leadership in power, which would be more susceptible to pressure than the previous Musharraf-led regime, he said.
