Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf (PTI) workers and activists have started leaving for Karachi from various parts of Pakistan to halt upcountry movement of Nato containers on May 21-22 in a bid to stop the ongoing bloody drone attacks inside the tribal belt.
Hundreds of PTI supporters from Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, and Peshawar and other cities and towns on Thursday left for the port city mostly by trains and buses.
It is learnt that PTI would be holding a more impressive show on two days and stop the containers of Nato from going upcountry. However no major political party is likely to be a part of the sit-in in Karachi’s Keamari area at KPT Bridge. NATO containers get loaded from this area and leave for other parts of Pakistan on their way to Afghanistan.
Twelve days after the May 02 Abbottabad tragedy, Pakistan parliament had adopted a unanimous resolution, charting out a line of action in the given national scene, however, PTI feels the parliamentary initiative has been sabotaged by the PPP-led government.
Chairman PTI Imran Khan’s spokesman Zahid Hussain Kazmi, while talking to The News here said that they had received a response beyond their expectations during the two-day sit-in in Peshawar last month.
“We believe, our activity of unique nature will gather more and more support in the coming days and one day, NATO will have to look for other options instead of using Pakistani route for the supplies to its troops stationed in Afghanistan,” he maintained.
He reiterated his party’s demand of expelling all the American private contractors, a step which he said should have been taken immediately after the Raymond Davis episode and its fallout on Pak-US relations.
