Pak will stand against US if it attacks Waziristan: Imran Khan

Pakistan Tehrik-i-Insaaf Chairman Imran Khan has warned the US that the entire nation will stand united against American forces if the latter attacks Waziristan.

Khan also insisted that Pakistan does not need US financial assistance, and would prefer to live within its own means, The Nation reports.

His warning comes at a crucial time when US-Pakistan relations are touching a new low amid Washington’s allegations that Islamabad is exporting terror to Afghanistan and that the Haqqani network is a veritable arm of the ISI.

Talking About Afghanistan, he said that the US had intervened in the name of so-called war against terror in a country that never bowed to the British or the Soviet rule. He added that the Afghans would never tolerate foreign forces in their country at any cost.

He said the US was blaming Pakistan for its own failure in Afghanistan.
