Islamabad: Pakistan Tehrik-i-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan on Thursday neglected Taliban’s threat for visiting North Waziristan and said that his party will carry on with the scheduled protest March into Waziristan despite threats.
The Taliban spokesman Ahsanullah Ahsan Wednesday threatened to kill PTI chairman Imran Khan if he holds a planned march to their tribal stronghold to protest US drone attacks.
Khan, while showing determination to organise the March in the country’s troubled north-west area along with Afghanistan border against the US drone attacks, said that he will never hesitate to render sacrifice of his life for a noble cause.
In statement issued on Thursday, the PTI chief, while commenting on the news that has been published in a section of press about suicide attack threats from Taliban against him, said that the protest march in Miranshah will be held as per its schedule on September 23 to raise voice for the innocent people of the area who have been targeted in those attacks.
“Life and death is in God’s hands……anyone who believes in Allah knows death is eternal and it will come on fixed time,” said the PTI chief, adding that he is not concerned over authenticity of the statements from Taliban.
He said the rally will highlight the plight of the innocent females, children and elderly people who have become prey of ruthless contention.
“For me it will be an honour if I die for the sack of these innocent people who are being killed in drone attacks,” said Khan.
Commenting on the statement of calling him liberal, Khan said, “Allah knows the reality and what is in my heart.”
