Hope Barack Obama gives peace a chance, Imran Khan tells NDTV I International USA Pakistan News

As Barack Obama gets set for his second stint
at the White House after being re-elected as
the US president, Pakistani cricketer-turned-
politician Imran Khan has expressed hope that
the former will put an end to the drone strikes
in his country. Speaking on NDTV's Your Call, Mr
Khan, the chief of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-
Insaaf (PTI), said that since Obama no longer
faces the pressure of another election, he can
ignore the pressure from the pro-war lobby
and out an end to the drone attacks in Pakistan,
that he termed as "barbaric" and "counter-
productive". Calling Obama as a man of peace,
Mr Khan said that he hoped that the US
President will follow his instincts.
