Peshawar: Khyber Pukhtunkha Assembly on Monday unanimously adopted a resolution against US drone strikes in northwest Pakistan’s tribal region near Afghan border.
The  resolution was tabled by senior Awami National Party (ANP) leader and senior minister Bashir Ahmed Bilour, demanding US to immediately stop drone attacks as innocent people were being killed.
The resolution also called for summoning US ambassador to Pakistan, and to lodge protest against the attacks.
According to a Human Rights Commission Pakistan (HRCP) report over 900 people were killed in US drone attacks in Pakistan last year.
The US predators’ attacks have been fanning anti-US sentiments in Pakistan while the Pakistani government and the military have been facing fierce criticism for not stopping the attacks.
Chief of Pakistan’s top spy agency ISI, General Ahmed Shuja Pasha last week visited Washington in a bid to  woo US spy master to stop drone attacks and ax CIA’s secret missions in Pakistan.According to media reports CIA head Leon Panetta refused to stop the attacks, saying he had been assigned to safeguard his country.
US-Pakistan intelligence relation remained frozen after a CIA contractor Raymond Davis killed two Pakistanis in Lahore in broad day light on Jan 27, triggering a diplomatic row between the two allies.
The US drones killed more than 50 tribes men in Datta Khel tribal region a day after Pakistani court released Davis.
