The cricket-turned timberland boots discount politician, Imran Khan, who leads PTI, said the protest will continue unless the U.S. stops drone strikes. Protest rallies outside the U.S. embassy and UN mission in Islamabad have also been planned in the coming days, spokesman for the provincial government, Shah Farman, has said. The authorities closed the main border point of Torkham with Afghanistan ahead of the protest over security concerns, officials said.
