ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan has offered public support to prime minister-in-waiting Nawaz Sharif to stop drone attacks either through negotiations with the US or by force.

“The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) should fulfil its responsibility and begin its tenure from this point,” PTI Punjab President Ejaz Chaudhry quoted Khan as saying at a press conference at a local hotel on Thursday.

He quoted Khan as saying that the people of Pakistan had voted against the previous government of General Musharraf’s policy regarding drone attacks and it was a matter of grave concern that still a drone strike was made on Wednesday and innocent people were killed. Khan said people of Pakistan did not tolerate drone attacks in Pakistan.

Targeting Sharif for his statement that he could not give deadline to resolve the power crisis in the country, the PTI Punjab president said, “Pakistanis cannot afford to listen from their leader that he cannot give a deadline to overcome power crisis.”
