Drone attacks to only augment hate for US: Imran

TANK: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan Sunday reiterated that the higher the number of drone strikes in Waziristan, the more hate they will create for the US, Geo News reported.

The PTI Chief was addressing a rally here after the peace march spearheaded by him against the US drone attacks was barred from entering South Waziristan (SW).

The PTI caravan was stopped since it was not in the possession of a No Objection Certificate (NOC).

Imran Khan demanded of the government to abandon its two-faced policy and tell the truth to the people, warning 'if the tsunami could head Waziristan, it could also take the direction of Islamabad'. He snapped: "Asif Zardari be afraid of the tsunami".

Severely criticizing the US drone policy, Imran Khan said the unilateral attacks by pilot-less planes in Pakistan territory only deserved to be condemned, as they are executed in violation of international laws and human rights.

Imran Khan thanked Allah for peaceful culmination of the rally and also the participants for making the peace march possible.

"People from foreign countries have come to show solidarity with the residents of the tribes," he appreciated, adding despite life threats people joined the peace march in large numbers.
