Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa chief Minister Pervez Khattak has said that if the federal government fails to stop the US drone strikes 'they will consider the option of stopping Nato supplies'.
The comments from Khattak came as Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's US trip ended yielding no visible gains on drone strikes.
According to the Express Tribune, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) led Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa government said that their patience was wearing thin and that they may take a unilateral step if the government failed to stop drone strikes.
Khattak told the media that they were tired of picking up bodies, whether they are of victims of terror or of drone strikes and that if the government does not take decisive steps to stop both they may take unilateral steps, including stopping the Nato supply through Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, the report added.
