ISLAMABAD: PTI Chairman Imran Khan has said that Pakistani rulers are so Shameless that they would allow the US to attack Pakistan for dollars.
In an interview to Russian television, Imran said: “We have people ruling Pakistan, who are shameless. They have ** dignity, ** self-respect. They do **t care what happens to Pakistani people. All they care about is US aid. All they see is dollars and if you pay them e**ugh dollars they are willing to allow Americans to bomb their own country.” He stated that extremism has increased in Pakistan’s tribal areas due to the drone attacks. The PTI chief said that Pakistan only wants peace in Afghanistan **t drone attacks. Khan said that drones take lives of everyone including children and elderly people, therefore, they should be banned in the country. According to a report, more than 4,000 people have died in as many as 423 drone strikes in Pakistan in 2003. Khan explained that he did “more than any other Pakistani” to put an end to US drone strikes, as they are carried out in total violation of human rights. The drones are an “inhuman tactic of killing people through remote control, like on a computer game… dehumanising them, treating them like they’re from some other planet… **t giving them their basic rights or considering their in**cence,” he said. Khan said he can’t understand how the Americans can think “that a bomb when it bursts, when it splinters… that the shrapnel k**ws exactly who a terrorist is or who is a woman, or a child or a grandmother”. He stressed that drone missions are carried out in Pakistan’s tribal areas, where people live in fragile mud houses providing little protection. “There are so many incidents of people being killed, who had **thing to do with terrorism… They [the US] claim they killed a terrorist and then you see that they are alive, so who have they killed?” the politician wondered. “If the drone strikes are as effective as the Pentagon and the CIA say there should be ** terrorism **w,” he added. The use of drones for extra-judicial killings is “counterproductive” in fighting terrorism, as it creates “anti-Americanism that directly feeds into recruiting terrorists,” Khan stressed. “The collateral damage of drone attacks turns **rmal human beings into terrorists and human bombs. People go and blow themselves up,” he added. Khan recalled a tragic incident involving the family of a young student and cricket player at a technical college he founded in Mianwali, Punjab. “He [the young man] was in his final year of electrical engineering and suddenly he finds out that there was an airstrike in his family compound in Waziristan and his family had been killed. And then he disappears; he goes back, obviously, to where his family was killed. And six months later we find out that he had blown himself up in Afghanistan targeting a Nato convoy,” he said. The Pakistani people do **t want drone strikes – they want the war to stop in neighbouring Afghanistan, the politician said. “What we hope is that there is a settlement and there’s peace in Afghanistan because Pakistan is affected by what happens in that country,” he said, adding drones are an obstacle to peace. Khan also slammed Pakistan’s current authorities for doing **thing to stop the US drone strikes while refusing to reveal the number of resulting civilian casualties. أكثر... ??????? ??????: Shameless rulers can let US attack Pakistan for dollars: Imran || ??????: ahlam1399 || ??????: اسم منتداك
