Quetta, Oct 18(ANI): The Awami National Party (ANP) has accused NATO forces of violating Pakistani airspace in Qila Abdullah, a district that shares the border with Afghanistan.
ANP Parliamentary Leader and Provincial Minister Zamurk Khan raised the issue on a point of order during a Balochistan Assembly session on Monday.
Khan said that NATO forces had violated Pakistani airspace by making a 20-minute low flight in the area two days back.
"This is creating fear and panic among the people living in the bordering district," The Express Tribune quoted Khan, as telling the Balochistan Assembly.
"The people are assuming these airspace violations as an indication from NATO forces that they will soon launch an airstrike in our district," he added.
The ANP condemned the violation and demanded that the federal government raise the issue with NATO officials and the United States.
Khan said that the government should take notice of this violation and prevent the US from infringing the sovereignty of Pakistan.
Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam-F (JUI-F) leaders also expressed their concern over the presence of Americans in the region, and said that peace could not be restored until they were driven out from the region. (ANI)
