KARACHI: PTI calls for end to attack on Afghanistan
By Our Staff Reporter
KARACHI, Oct 22: Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaaf has demanded an end to US bombing of Afghanistan and to seek a peaceful settlement as it has already resulted in the killing of hundreds of innocent Afghans and displaced hundreds of thousands, forcing them to live in refugee camps.
This demand was made by PTI Secretary General, Mairaj Muhammad Khan, in a statement on Sunday, who recalled that if after having destroyed (as per US claims) the military infrastructure, the air force and air fields of Afghanistan, the US should stop bombing and start talk with the Taliban government or let Pakistan and other Muslim countries seek a peaceful settlement to the crisis. Otherwise, the international community, people of the Muslim world and specially Pakistan would be forced to think that the US, by vengeful bombing, wanted to make it a graveyard and to convey the message that it would make a “horrible example” of any country that dared attack or resist the US.
Mr Khan pointed out that after the US-UK bombing of Afghanistan, world opinion had changed in favour of combating terrorism through peaceful political means rather than through war.
