party (PTI), has campaigned for an end to US drone strikes against suspected Taliban and al Qaeda cut-throats in PakistainÂ’s tribal areas, saying they result in civilian casualties.
“What Pakistain would be hoping for is a de-escalation of violence now in Afghanistan and the drone attacks in Pakistain’s tribal areas,” he told news hounds where he was attending the India World Economic Forum.
Khan said that Obama’s first term in office had been “very tough on Pakistain – an increase in drone attacks and a surge in Afghanistan and increased militancy in Pakistain as a result.”
“Now he (Obama) is no longer under the pressure to be re-elected we hope that he will give peace a chance which we so desperately need,” he said.
