‘NATO supplies resumption be linked to end to drone attacks’PESHAWAR: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President Nawaz Sharif on Friday said that reopening of NATO supply routes should be conditioned with the end to drone attacks.
Speaking at a function organised to announce Engineer Amir Muqam’s joining of the PML-N, Sharif said the country needed to re-assess its relations with the United States in view of the prevailing situation. He said drone attacks must be brought to an end, Kashmir issue resolved and all foreign bases closed. Sharif said that he sent his party members to the Parliamntary Committee on National Security (PCNS) on the request of Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani.
He said the rulers had created a number of problems and load shedding had thrown the country into darkness. Referring to President Asif Ali Zardari's statement about his (Sharif’s) father, he said he wanted to attend his father’s funeral but was not allowed by the Musharraf regime, adding that his family also wanted to come to Pakistan, but were not allowed.
The former prime minister said when he was in London, Zardari's father was in hospital there and he along with his party member Ghaus Ali Shah went to see him and inquire about his health, adding that he still prayed for him. Welcoming Amir Muqam in the PML-N, Sharif congratulated him for taking a wise decision and expressed hope that it would make the party stronger and more popular in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. agencies
