Chairman Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Imran Khan has strongly condemned the NATO helicopters attack on Salala Check Post in the Momand Agency that resulted in the death of twenty security personnel.In a statement released from the partys central secretariat in Islamabad on Friday, Imran Khan said such attacks reflected the hollowness and counter-productivity of Pakistans involvement in the aimless war on terror that had been unleashed to subdue the proud people of the region. Already, Pakistan had sacrificed 40,000 people and an equal number of people had been maimed and become handicapped. Pakistan had also incurred a loss of over US$ 75 billion in the bargain, yet it was being incessantly targeted by the forces of its so-called ally.He said that the governments continued involvement in the senseless was a blatant violation of the All Parties Resolution that called for giving peace a chance. He said that the government had failed to safeguard Pakistans security and strategic interests because of the compromises it had made under the NRO with foreign forces to come to power in the country. It did not have the moral stature to stand up for defending Pakistans strategic interests and should, therefore, quit immediately.Imran Khan said that Pakistans involvement in the war had radicalised its society and was also breeding anti-Americanism. Time had come for the government to pull out of this inhuman conflict and initiate a purposeful dialogue to bring peace to the country and the region. Pakistans continued involvement in this war would only produce more militancy and destruction.
