‘22 Nato countries urge Imran to allow supplies through KP’

LAHORE: Though Washington downplayed impacts of Nato supply blocked in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa through a statement that the supplies are continuing through other routes, causing disappointment among PTI workers who continue to block the Nato containers meant for Afghanistan, ambassadors of 22 Nato countries have now contacted Imran Khan requesting him to end protest.

Sources in the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf told Geo News that as many as 22 ambassadors from Nato countries urged Khan not to block Nato supplies as they had nothing to do with drone strikes. They said that the US not Nato was carrying out drone attacks in Pakistan.

PTI protest against US drone attacks entered 17 days today (Monday). The cricketer-turned politician has taken a firm stand against the aerial attacks which mostly take place in Pakistan’s tribal belt. Khan has long been claiming that the attacks are counter productive and prove detrimental for Pakistan’s efforts to end militancy
