THE blockage of Nato supply continues, and the PTI leadership seems to be in a disarray as what to do next. Now that the All-Pakistan Oil Tankers Association has threatened to block the oil supply to Khyber Pukhtunkhwa as a counter-protest if the routes are not opened, the people of the province are being pushed into another hotchpotch of turmoil.

The province has already suffered a lot due the policies of our so-called leaders.

The PTI leadership needs to learn from Iran and try to resolve issues through diplomatic means.

Their current strategy is no different to that of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the former Iranian president, who despite taking the diplomatic path, took a hardline approach which indeed cost him a lot.

It is my request to Imran Khan to reconsider his strategy and take us out of this turmoil.
