Nato supplies: PTI to hold two-day Peshawar sit-in

Khan has invited all the opposition parties who agree with the PTI’s five-point agenda to join hands with the party.

ISLAMABAD:
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan has said his party will arrange a sit-in in Peshawar on April 23 and 24 against the Nato supplies to Afghanistan. Khan has invited all the opposition parties who agree with the PTI’s five-point agenda to join hands with the party in the sit-in. The five points are: safeguarding the nation’s security, immediate end to drone attacks, release of Dr Aafia Siddiqui, ending American interference and protesting the unjust release of Raymond Davis. He said the present rulers have invested heavily in the West and that is the reason they cannot annoy the Western powers. He accused both the federal and the Punjab government of collusion in the release of Raymond Davis.
