Islamabad, Oct 29(ANI): Pakistan Tehrik-i-Insaaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan has condemned what he called the “criminal silence” of non-government organisations (NGOs) that claim to be champions of human rights, over the killings of civilians in US drone attacks in the country’s tribal areas.
The cricketer-turned-politician made these comments while addressing a protest rally in front of Parliament House in Islamabad.
He said that civilian casualties due to drones were increasing with each passing day, and asked the government to quit if it could not take action in this regard.
Imran categorically rebutted the US opinion that no civilian casualties were taking place as a result of targeted strikes against high profile terrorists in Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA), the Dawn reports.
He demanded the implementation of the resolution adopted in recently held All Parties Conference (APC).
