Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan has demanded incoming Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif that after assuming office his first decision should be to either stop or shoot down drone strikes in the country.

According to the Daily Times, he said drone attacks will not be tolerated inside Pakistan.

He added that the people had voted those parties to power which promoted anti-drone policies.

Khan said people had rejected the policies adopted and pursued by former president General (r) Pervaiz Musharraf.
