SUKKUR: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan has said that the US should pull out its forces from Afghanistan and Pakistan as they have achieved their target of capturing or killing Osama bin Laden. After Bin Laden’s death, he added, America’s mission in the region is finished.
Khan observed this while addressing a press conference in Sukkur on Tuesday. He said that Pakistan has lost 34,000 of its citizens in this irrelevant war, while according to the government, the country has incurred a loss of Rs68 billion.Commenting on Bin Laden’s death, Khan said that he had no idea how it was done. “Even our president wasn’t aware of the incident, and was informed about it by the US president,” Khan said.
Elaborating on the post-Bin Laden situation, he said that the Americans will think that Pakistani agencies were sheltering him, and they might pressure Pakistan to start an army operation in North Waziristan. He claimed that the government has lost credibility in the world community and that Pakistanis are not trusted abroad.
