PPP, MQM, ANP flay Imran on Nato supplies protest
ISLAMABAD - As PTI Chairman Imran Khan is all set to hold protest demonstration in Peshawar to block NATO supply lines, other opposition parties including PPP, MQM and ANP have refused to respond to his call.
However, Jamaat-e-Islami (JI), Awami Jamhoori Ittehad (AJI) and Awami Muslim League (AML) have so far announced to support him. The PTI chief changing the dates, due to grave security situation in the country, has announced to block Nato supply line on November 23 (Saturday) but other major opposition parties are not considering the move as a solution to convey message to the US with the protest of only one day (if not more).
If Khan is threatening to block NATO supplies after TTP’s chief Hakimullah Mehsud’s killing in drone attack then this message is simply being conveyed only for the reason of TTP commander, said PPP central leader Taj Haider, talking to The Nation.
Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), in its era, had blocked Nato supplies for seven months but the cause was only attack on Salala check post and martyrdom of Pakistan soldiers but now PTI is intending to suspend supplies after the TTP commander’s killing, said PPP’s leader, arguing that his party’s issue was only to take step for the sovereignty of the state.
The former ruling clique (PPP) taking a severe action against its member has also suspended the basic membership of its MPA from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa for publishing advertisements in newspapers urging people to block NATO supply routes in violation of party policy.
The third main opposition party, MQM, has said the PTI’s move would increase the problems of the country as miscreants could create law and order situation. “NATO supply suspension only for one day is not the solution to the problem, as there is need to bring all religious and political parties on the same page,” said MQM’s senior leader Waseem Akhtar, adding that solo flights could not resolve the issue.
Adopting a bit strict stance, Awami National Party (ANP) even went some extra mile in its criticism saying that PTI’s chief was changing his statement and telling lie with masses. “It is just point scoring and hoodwinking with the masses as this is not the solution.” The ANP leader said that people of the country has now started assessing the reality of Khan as how much time PTI’s chief could deceive masses. “We will not let him run as we will compel him to complete its tenure in KPK so he could expose from deeds,” he maintained.
Whereas, Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) senior leader Fareed Paracha assured their full support to Imran Khan on this step. “Some one is raising voice against the US, which badly sabotaged the peace process,” he added.
It is relevant to mention here Awami Jamhoori Ittehad (AJI) and Awami Muslim League (AML) had already assured to stand with Imran Khan on this issue.
The leader of JUI (S) and Difa-e-Pakistan Council Maulana Samiul Haq has lauded the efforts and courage of PTI Chairman Imran Khan against the NATO Supply route through Pakistan and the US drone attacks.
The PTI, through a resolution in the provincial assembly, set November 20 as the deadline to block the supplies if the federal government failed to stop drone strikes in Pakistan.
The Nato supply route is also used to take back military equipment from Afghanistan following Nato’s decision to withdraw its troops from the war-torn country by 2014.
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is one of two key routes Nato supplies move in and out of Afghanistan and is seen as crucial as US-led allied forces prepare to withdraw from the war-torn country in 2014.

The known hypocrites of Pakistan politics. What were you expecting from them? They have their properties and other interests abroad or their fugitive leader settled permanently there. How can they be sincere to Pakistan when it needs the leadership the most!
