Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) on Friday, took out a protest rally against the US raid in Abbottabad and demanded of the government to reveal facts behind the unilateral action that led to the killing of Osama bin Laden. The demonstration was led by the leaders of PTI including Zahid Hussain Kazmi, Amir Mehmood Kiani and Saifullah Niazi.
The protesters made an attempt to proceed towards the Parliament House, where in-camera joint session was in progress, but the heavy contingents of police failed their attempt. The protestors were carrying banners and placards inscribed with slogans like, 'one who is friend of America is a traitor', 'Helpless rulers, nation wants to know the real facts', 'In-camera session what are you hiding' etc. They were chanting slogans against the government and Obama.
Talking to media persons, Zahid Hussain called for revealing facts about the Abbottabad operation. He said that $60 billion had been wasted in the war against terrorism, adding Pakistan was paying a heavy price in the so-called war. He held the government responsible for the US action inside Pakistani territory. Hussain also questioned that how Osama managed to live in Abbottabad for such long years. He termed it a complete intelligence failure.
"We want to know that at whose behest Chaudhry Nisar levelled allegations against intelligence institutions of the country?" Former Bureaucrat Roedad Khan lashing out at the government said it was fully aware of the situation. He termed the Abbottabad incident as the inability of the present rulers.
