Involvement in the war on terror has brought Pakistan on the verge of destruction, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf Chairman Imran Khan said on Saturday. Speaking at a public meeting here, Khan said Pakistan incurred a loss of Rs 70 billion in the war on terror.He strongly condemned the NATO attack on Salala checkpost in the Mohmand Agency that resulted in the death of over 20 security personnel. Calling the attack insane and immoral brutality, Khan said time had come for the government to pull out of the US-led war which had brought Pakistan on the verge of destruction.Khan said Pakistan’s involvement in the war against terrorism had radicalised its society and was also breeding anti-Americanism. He said Pakistan’s continued involvement in the war would only produce more militancy and destruction.In a statement released from the party’s central secretariat in Islamabad, Khan said such attacks reflected the hollowness and counter-productivity of Pakistan’s involvement in the aimless ‘war on terror’ that had been unleashed to subdue the proud people of the region. “Already, Pakistan has sacrificed 40,000 people and an equal number of people have been maimed and have become handicapped,” Khan said.
