PTI Protest Against NATO Attack on Border Check-Post

Islamabad (28 November, 2011): Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, Islamabad Chapter, held a protest against the NATO firing at the Pakistani border check-post, Salala, on Saturday 26^th November, in Mohmand Agency. The protesters expressed anger at the violation of Pakistani sovereignty and demanded the corrupt Pakistani Government to exit its support for the unjust War on Terror. The protesters included big numbers of youth as well as women from different areas of Islamabad. 

Addressing the protest, PTI President Women’s Wing, Ms. Fauzia Kasuri said that the incident is a clear violation of all international laws and is a result of the unpopular policies of Pakistani Government that is subservient to its American masters. She added that blocking the NATO supply routes for a few days will not do anything, they should be sealed indefinitely. 

The Zonal Head of Islamabad, Mr. Aamir Mughal, speaking at the occasion said that this brutal attack is not acceptable by any means and PTI condemns the unprovoked attack by NATO and shared condolences to the martyr’s families. He added that incompetent Government of Pakistan is not interested in protecting its citizens but more interested in making dollars in return for the blood of Pakistani civilian and military martyrs. 

The Central Media Coordinator, Sulaiman Malik, while giving an interview to Asia Today Correspondent present at the occasion, said that it is not a mistake since NATO has been provided coordinates of all Pakistani border check-posts. The Pakistani Army is meant for defending Pakistani borders and citizens rather than fighting the purposeless War of Terror for the US. PTI has always maintained a policy of self-respect and has consistently asked the Pakistani Government to pull out from this war and refuse US Aid which is more of a liability than anything else.
