Islamabad - Chairman PTI Imran Khan along with his delegation met with British Foreign Secretary William Hague along with his delegation today on the request of the latter. Chairman Khan inquired about the specific purpose of William Hague’s visit at this particular time and was told it was a part of the expanding UK-Pakistan relationship.

Mr Khan reiterated his Party's opposition to aid that is given to generally for fiscal budgetary support and aid given directly to social/educational projects. He appreciated DFID aid especially in the education sector where he felt an emergency should be declared.

Khan explained what his Party would do in the first 100 days after coming to power. He emphasised the need for good governance which means de-politicisation of state institutions, bureaucracy and police. Alongside he declared his support for devolution - giving power to people at grassroots level.

Imran Khan explained how if governance was reestablished, the country would progress with an enabling environment to encourage the vibrant civil society and overseas Pakistanis.

Mr Khan also gave his Party's opposition to the US "war on terror". He said his Party has always advocated a political solution to the problem of terrorism and militancy. He stated that his first move would be to have a ceasefire and convince the US that a credible government in Pakistan would stop the militancy in the tribal areas. As he re-stressed, a military operation in FATA was madness.

It was time to give peace a chance through dialogue with the tribal people. "We can win this war in 90 days but not through the army - every military operation by Pakistan army against its own people has ended in failure. We can help the Americans extricate themselves from their mess in this region." Khan tried to explain the psyche of the tribal people to the British Foreign Secretary including the inbuilt notion of revenge. "Unfortunately the US approach is being driven by Generals," Khan said and expressed the view that there was little clarity at the Pentagon.

As Khan summarised, "there are no easy solutions" anymore.
Hague agreed that there was recognition that there has to be reconciliation in Afghanistan, even amongst the Americans. But "there are some people like Al Qaeda who are not reconcilable"

Khan explained why the apology for Salala was critical and concluded by saying that the present US policy of drones was absurd and senseless.

Notice the difference. Other party leaders meet western leaders for personal interests and nobody knows what was discussed. Here's a true leader, only discussing national interests and openly !

Imran Khan does not meet any one privately; he is always having meetings with foreign
leaders.He is a man of words. He is an honest and sincere leader.He does not go abroad
for treatment like PPP and PML(N) leaders.He prefers to get himself treated in Pakistan. He
is not hypocrite or dishonest who are bent upon making money by means or unfair means.

We must be the active supporters of Imran Khan for a change in Pakistan.Geo Khan Jee!

Imran Khan rightfully told William Hague that when PTI come into power the first thing would be to exit this so-called war on terror. Now, either you're with or against us.
