Sit-in to continue till victory, says Imran

The campaign to get the US to stop carrying out drone attacks in tribal areas would continue till its “logical conclusion”, Imran Khan, chief of the Pakistan Tehrik-i-Insaf (PTI), said here on Saturday.

Speaking to thousands of supporters during a sit-in at Hayatabad township, from where many of the vehicles carrying supplies for foreign forces in Afghanistan pass, Mr Khan said: “Pakistanis are not animals but human beings. That’s why they should be protected against aggression.”

He said that international law guaranteed the sovereignty of all independent states, but the US and its cronies in Pakistan had violated the law by killing scores of innocent people.He said the sit-in organised by his party would bring to an end the US designs for the region. Read More

My Comments:

These Drone attacks are mostly killing innocent Pakistanis; they must be stopped at once.

Re: Sit-in to continue till victory, says Imran

Shahbaz Sharif= SS, after the raymond davis fiasco and sensing that the issue had dented PMLN badly in “tarang” Shahbaz Sharif announced a long march for ending American drones…for three years PMLN has been in bed with PPP and kept their eyes closed on the issue suddenly they have started making noises on the issue, in a hope to placate their electorate

LAHORE: Punjab Chief Minister Mian Shahbaz Sharif said on Sunday that if need be, a long march will take place against the drone strikes in Pakistan.

Re: Sit-in to continue till victory, says Imran

I support Imran's initiative; the remaining parties need to make sure that their godfather (America) is not offended by their actions...

Re: Sit-in to continue till victory, says Imran

Regardless of who did what in the past let us think about innocent Pakistanis who are shredded by these evil Drones every day.

Nato supply route re-opened

PESHAWAR: Nato can resume supplying its troops in Afghanistan through a key Pakistani route on Monday after protesters against US drone strikes lifted a blockade, an official said.

Supporters of former cricketer Imran Khan’s political party on Sunday ended a two-day sit-in at a Peshawar road, which was called to compel the US to end a covert missile campaign against militants in Pakistan’s tribal belt.

“Peshawar ring road has been cleared and re-opened for vehicular traffic,”senior local administration official, Mohammad Siraj Khan told AFP.

Trucks will only be able to use the route from Monday morning because of security reasons, he added.
Imran Khan —who leads the Tehreek-e-Insaf (Movement for Justice) party —earlier said his supporters would “block supplies for Nato in different parts of the country if drone attacks are not stopped within one month.”

“We will also stage sit-in in Islamabad if the government fails to stop these strikes,” he told a crowd of some 5,000 people at the end of the two-day sit-in.

Supporters waved party flags and chanted slogans such as “stop the drone attacks, stop killing innocent people and down with the government,” during the speech, an AFP reporter at the scene said.

“We want a sovereign Pakistan,” Khan said, adding that “the American people will hold even bigger demonstrations if they come to know that the innocent civilians are being killed in the drone attacks.”
The party called the demonstration in protest at US missile attacks from unmanned aircraft in Pakistan’s lawless tribal areas, which many feel infringe Pakistani sovereignty and which locals say sometimes kill civilians.

Public anger intensified after a March 17 drone attack killed 39 people including civilians.
Nato supply trucks and oil tankers are the targets of frequent attacks blamed on insurgents attempting to disrupt supplies for the more than 130,000 international troops fighting in Afghanistan.
Most supplies and equipment required by coalition troops in Afghanistan are shipped through Pakistan, although US troops increasingly use alternative routes through central Asia.

Baqi partion main tou itni bhi himmat nahin ap nay Mai Baal Kay khilaaf janay ki

Re: Sit-in to continue till victory, says Imran

Baqi partion main tou itni bhi himmat nahin ap nay Mai Baal Kay khilaaf janay ki. The best in this regard is pm and presIdent of the country, keep on carrying drone attacks we will just condemn for public consumption

Re: Sit-in to continue till victory, says Imran

Baqi parties aqal mand hain. un ko pata hay ke woh kuch nahin kar saktay siway zibani jama kharch ke. Military Chief ke khilaf koi nahin ja sakta. A long time ago, I said and Iam saying it again. It is Kyani who has the power to stop these attacks, no one else can do it, including your new sweat heart IK. Is this very difficult to understand? aqal bharhi ke bhains bharhi:)

Re: Sit-in to continue till victory, says Imran

pressure is important, its due to the pressures during the past three four months that the army has also started taking a hard line stand on the matter, because its important for any sovereign nation to have these attacks stopped and carry out any operation they consider important by themselves and not look towards others

Re: Sit-in to continue till victory, says Imran

OMG!! Since when you have decided (again) to reply and/or quote me???
