PTI opens Nato Supply after court orders

Lahore: The PTI Core Committee in its meeting on 27^th February discussed the PHC judgment on the blockade of transit goods into landlocked Afghanistan and decided that, given PTI’s commitment to rule of law and respect for the senior judiciary, the Party will end its blockade of NATO supplies.

The Core Committee felt that the pressure of the blockade had already resulted in a shift in the Obama Administration’s drone policy and as a result drones had been stopped for the present. PTI also reminded that earlier it was PTI that had built up the pressure against drones by its Waziristan march, supported by international human rights groups.

The Core Committee thanked all its workers who had helped make the NATO supply blockade a success.

The Core Committee also regretted that the PML-N government had failed to show respect for law and the senior judiciary by not implementing an earlier PHC judgment against US drone attacks in which the federal government had been required to blockade NATO supplies and even shoot down a drone if the US failed to stop drone attacks.
