LAHORE REJECTING the decision of Nato supply restoration, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman Iman Khan has once again demanded the government immediately come out of war on terrorism. Addressing a crowded women convention at Aiwan e Iqbal here on Saturday, the PTI chairman, showing extreme concern over the loss of 40, 000 Pakistani soldiers and civilians in the combat against terrorism, said, “It is time we must separate ourselves from ‘US slavery’ and the war which has caused tremendous loss to us.” He said, “Due to this war, we have not only faced terrorism but the menace of sectarianism is also on the rise which is a matter of concern.” Expressing profound grief over the Shias’ killings, Imran said this was highly condemnable and were perpetrated by the elements who had nothing to do with Islam, Pakistan and humanity.
