Tehrik-e-Insaaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan said on Saturday that just like the Cricket World Cup he had won 19 years ago, his party would also be successful in stopping drone attacks in the country.
Khan told protesters at a sit-in staged by the party in Karachi that the government was cheating the people because the drone attacks were happening with its consent even though it outwardly opposed them. Khan said the United States was violating its own laws by launching drone attacks since they were against the independence of a country.
“It is match-fixing between the US and the Pakistan government,” he said. He said the PTI would continue protest sit-ins against the drone attacks. It was, however, the local trade and businesses, not the US-led coalition forces in Afghanistan that bore the brunt of Saturday’s sit-in. The city was deserted, with socio-economic activities coming to a complete standstill, particularly in neighbourhoods around MA Jinnah Bridge, the site of the sit-in.
