Peshawar: Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaaf (PTI) Chairman, Imran Khan said on Sunday warned against continuing drone strike, saying that if drone strikes inside Pakistan do not stop within 30 days, protesters would block all NATO supply routes across Pakistan.
Imran warned that PTI would lead a march on Islamabad to force the government to take a stand against the strikes which are not only killing innocent people including women and children but also violating the country sovereignty.
Addressing a large gathering at the end of the two-day protest sit-in against drone strikes in Peshawar. Thousands of people arrived in the Hayatabad region of Peshawar for the protest.
The Pak-Afghan road which is the main supply route for the NATO troops in neighbouring Afghanistan remained totally blocked and no supplies could be delivered the third day on Sunday.
The supplies were suspended by the government on Saturday to North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (Nato) troops in Afghanistan via its land border for three days when the PTI began a sit-in on the supply route over US drone attacks.
The sit-in was also addressed by PML-N leader Makhdoom Javed Hashmi, PML-Q MNA Marvi Memon, estranged ANP lawmaker, Khawaja Khan Muhammad Hoti and local leaders of Jamat-e-Islami and JUI.
