PTI does not want war with Nato, US: Imran Khan

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehrik-i-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan met with Nato envoys on Friday to clarify his party’s position on drones and the blockade of supplies through Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.Accompanied by Shah Mahmood Qureshi, Shireen Mazari and Naeemul Haq, the PTI
chairman met the envoys during a dinner meeting at the residence of the Greek ambassador.



“PTI does not want war with the US or NATO, but we need to send a clear message to the US that drones are destroying the very fabric of FATA and Khyber Pukhtunkhwa,” he said.According to a press release, Khan made it clear that it was in keeping with the electoral commitments made by the party on drones and the resolution passed by an all-parties conference, that the PTI had finally taken the action of stopping Nato supplies through KP.Had the government moved on furthering the APC mandate and made it clear to the US that drones were not acceptable, the PTI may not have been compelled to take the step of halting Nato supplies through KP, the release quote Khan as saying.While appreciating the assistance provided by many of the Nato member countries to Khyber Pukhtunkhwa's social sector, Khan stressed that all this assistance would be nullified if there were no peace and security in that province.
