SUKKUR, May 2: Tehrik-i-Insaf chief Imran Khan has said that if Osama bin Laden has been killed by US forces, then there is no justification for the continued presence of American or Nato forces in the region.
He said that the US government had declared that they were in the region to hunt down Bin Laden and other Al Qaeda leaders. And because Bin Laden had been killed, there was no justification for the US troops to stay in the region.
Talking to reporters at the Sukkur airport on Monday, Mr Khan said that at least 34,000 Pakistanis had been killed in the war on terror and the country had suffered a $68 billion loss, according to a statement by President Asif Ali Zardari.
He said the government had brought so much notoriety to the country that Bin Laden’s killing could not defame it any more.
Answering a question about the alliance between the People’s Party and PML-Q, he said he was not surprised with the politics of common interests because “fake democracy came through fake votes and fake educational degrees and a fake NRO”.
