Imran Khan on terrorism

Letter March 11, 2012
How will he reconcile his opposition to the war on terror with his silent support to Mullah Omar’s views and ideology?

ISLAMABAD: PTI chief Imran Khan always makes it a point to criticise the US led-war against terrorism but he never utters a single word against terrorists. Some may think that this means that he does not consider the war on terror as our own war and that he is not opposed to the Taliban model of a theocratic state.

How will he reconcile his opposition to the war on terror with his silent support to Mullah Omar’s views and ideology? The glaring contradiction in Khan’s two mutually conflicting stands does not augur well for the future of PTI tsunami.
