US Ambassador to Pakistan Cameron Munter and former ambassador Robin Raphael called on Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan on Thursday.
According to a press release issued by the PTI Secretariat, Imran reiterated that the problem of terrorism being faced by Pakistan was because of its partnership in the US-led War on Terror. The PTI chairman said that his party believed in having good relations with all countries, including the US, but the partnership could not be fostered at cost of Pakistan’s national interest. “If the US wants friendship with the people of Pakistan it should stop violating its sovereignty through drone attacks and other incursions inside its territory,” Imran said.
Imran Khan also strongly condemned the unprovoked attack on army outposts, in which 24 soldiers were killed. The PTI also dispelled media reports of Imran’s meeting with senior American officials at Dubai, UAE.
