Karachi : Tahrek i Insaf Chairman Imran Khan has announced that his party workers are ready to block the Nato supplies from Saturday Afternoon to Sunday evening.
The port city of Karachi is an important logistical support for the Nato forces fighting against Taliban militants in Afghanistan.
“We’ll sit outside the port’s gate from Saturday afternoon to Sunday evening continuously to block the trucks carrying Nato supplies,” said cricket-hero-turned politician Khan, who leads Tehreek-e-Insaf.
“It will be our symbolic protest against the US atrocities towards our innocent citizens.”
He had equally harsh words for President Asif Zardari’s government and the main opposition leader Nawaz Sharif but refrained from passing similar comments about army chief Ashfaq Kayani.
Imran Khan’s party has also staged a two-day sit-in outside the northwestern city of Peshawar last month, which was called to urge the US to end a covert missile campaign against militants in Pakistan’s tribal belt.
Imran Khan also blamed Pakistani government to give full liberty to its “American masters to kill Pakistanis at will.”
“We’ll be protesting against the drone strikes till our people are truly liberated from the clutches of monsters,” he said.
