PTI to hold anti-drone rally outside UN headquarters******

Days after leading a peace march to the gateway of drone-afflicted South Waziristan, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman plans to hold a protest rally right at the doorstep of the United Nations’ headquarters in New York.

Speaking with Talat Hussain on Express News show “Live with Talat” on Tuesday evening, the PTI chairman said that “We are starting an international petition which says drones are inhuman and violate human rights. We will go to New York and have a ‘tsunami’ outside the UN. We will have American Pakistanis and US peace activists protesting drones and hand over the petition to the UN saying UN laws are being violated,” Khan said of his immediate plans to tackle drones.

“We will also try to get Angelina Jolie there too,” he said, before adding that his party, the PTI has also taken a legal recourse against drones by filing a suit with NGO Reprieveat.

Responding to another question, Khan said that the only way to bring peace to the troubled badlands of Pakistan was to visibly pull out of America’s war, call for an end to drone strikes and entrust the armed tribals to police their own areas.

“Shooting down drones attacking Pakistani areas would be an option of last resort,” he added.

It’s a very good idea. The PTI should continue to highlight the issue with full force. A rally at the heart of New York would highlight the issue like never before.

this is the way to go… i support this.

though nobody responded to my post, but finaly sanity is coming back… we need similar anti-dron rally in front of Parliament and GHQ
