Summary Says PTI chief civilians especially women and children had become the target of drone strikes.
ISLAMABAD (Web Desk) - Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan has said if the government wanted to launch an operation in North Waziristan it should take the people into confidence.
In a statement, PTI chief Imran Kham said an incremental increase in military action will lead to a large scale military operation with revenge attacks and ensuing increase in chaos, militancy and terrorism.
According to the PTI chairman, civilians especially women and children had become the target of drone strikes and military action would increase the suffering of people in the tribal region.
"We cannot regard our women and children of FATA with the callousness and unconcern that is presently being displayed towards them by the state of which they are citizens."
Khan reminded that since FATA is directly under the President, it is unfathomable why he remains silent on the plight of the people of FATA.
The PTI chairman demanded the President act to alleviate the suffering of the women and children especially by providing immediate food supplies and medical assistance as well as protection against military action.
Later talking to the media in Lahore, Imran Khan said that PTI has finalized its plans to take out a rally on Sunday (tomorrow) in Lahore against price hike.
He appealed to his supporters to massively participate in the protest sit-in against price-hike in Lahore tomorrow afternoon. He said if public does not come out‚ then there will be more price hike.
He asked the Punjab government not to create any hurdle in way of the sit-in.
To a question‚ Imran Khan said that he will continue to support the campaign against polio in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
