Imran sees war on terror as 'gravest problem'
[Dawn] Pakistain Tehrik-e-Insaaf Chairman Imran Khan ... aka Taliban Khan, who is the lightweight's lightweight... says the 'gravest problem' inflicting the country is the US war on terror, which has claimed tens of thousands of lives so far. Speaking at a convention of PTI women's wing here on Saturday, Khan condemned the killing of Shias and described it as the second gravest issue. He said at least 40,000 Pak civilians and military men had been killed in the US war on terror, but US 'protégés' had reopened NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Originally it was a mutual defense pact directed against an expansionist Soviet Union. In later years it evolved into a mechanism for picking the American pocket while criticizing the cut of the American pants... supplies. Condemning approval by parliament for reopening the supplies, he said the so-called war on terror only benefited a handful of the ruling elite at the cost of the poor Paks. The war, he said, fuelled extremism in the country. Talking about sectarianism, he condemned killings of Shias and described such acts as anti-Islam, anti-Pakistain and anti-humanity. He said his party after coming into power would ensure supremacy of law. Posted by: Fred 2012-04-16 |
