Ex Husband of a rich British lady and leader of third major party as par resent polls, Imran Khan is trying to maintain pre-poll sentiments of his workers by releasing tricky statements. No doubt, he was ready to repeat 1970 election results, but failed even to get a runner-up position thanks to PPP. His latest statement is largely an effort to confuse Nawaz Sharief rather then addressing the pinching issue of drone strikes. Interestingly, media as usual twisting the statement in order to make it more flashy as there is plenty of content in IK's statement to exploit. just read the Urdu content fist
LAHORE - Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan on Thursday asked prime minister-designate Nawaz Sharif to either ask the United States to stop the drone attacks and in case Washington did not heed the warning, he should order shooting down the drones violating Pakistan’s territory.
“Drone attacks will not be tolerated inside Pakistan,” the PTI chief said in statement.
He said the people had voted those parties to power which promoted anti-drone policies. “The people have rejected the policies adopted and pursued by former president General (r) Pervez Musharraf,” he added. - See more at: http://www.pakistantoday.com.pk/2013/05/30/news/national/stop-attacks-or-shoot-down-drones-imran-asks-nawaz/#sthash.98nfL4to.dpuf
But in urdu headline, editor himself removed the option of asking US to stop drone. At the same time IK give approval to his KPK comrades to do an agreement with PML(N) KP so that PML(N) will support PTI speaker in KP and PTI will support PML(N) nominated speaker in NA. The fact remains pinching many Pakistanis that the foreign minister who allowed US done strikes is PTI leader and IK's close friend. IK should ask him to come forward and tell the truth to public first. If ex-foreign minister is reluctant then IK has Lal Heavili owner with him. after all, he was information minister at that time when Musharaff allowed US to launch drone strikes. But it is obvious that the aim of the IK is to fix or confuse Nawaz sharief rather then solution.
