Obama must tender apology: Bilawal

23 May, 2012

US President Barack Obama should "show some courage" and apologise to Pakistan for a cross-border air strike by Nato forces in Afghanistan that killed 24 Pakistani soldiers last year, PPP chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has said.
"I urge President Obama to show some courage. I understand he is running for re-election but if he is the same man who inspired the world with his message of hope and change, the future of the Nato mission in Afghanistan should be more important than poll numbers, The Times of India Reported.
The 23-year-old chief of the PPP also demanded that the US end drone strikes within Pakistani territory. He made the remarks while addressing a gathering of party workers and supporters in New York on Monday night. Bilawal said he was visiting America at "what may be the most critical point in the 65-year relationship between Pakistan and the US."
