Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan on Thursday called killed al-Qaeda chief and 9/11 mastermind Osama bin Laden a “shaheed” (martyr) and said that Islamabad faced “shame” by taking part in America’s war on fear.
Speaking in parliament during the budget session, Mr. Khan said the American forces entered Pakistan and killed bin Laden without notifying Islamabad after which everybody started abusing his country.
” I don’t think there’s a country which supported the war on fear and had to deal with humiliation for it. Pakistan was also freely blamed for U.S.’ failure in Afghanistan,” Mr. Khan said.
” For Pakistanis around the world, it was a humiliating minute when the Americans came and eliminated Osama bin Laden at Abottabad … martyred him. The whole world began abusing us after that. Our ally came inside our country and eliminated somebody without informing us.
