According to details, Netizens flooded the social networking site with tweets lauding the eloquent speech of the premier.

Here is what people have to say:

 

Prime Minister Imran Khan Wednesday said Pakistan acted upon whatever US wanted from us to do.

"Pakistan kept handing over its own people to the US. Whatever US asked us we followed it blindly," the premier said while addressing the National Assembly budget session.

He said Pakistan had made a big mistake while involving itself in the war on terror initiated by the US, adding when "we had killed our people on our own the US could not be blamed for it".

"Pakistanis had never felt more "humiliated" than when Pakistan decided to be join the US war on terror. We decided to become a front line state. I questioned repeatedly, what did we have to do with the war?"

The premier said though the US was our ally, but it continued executing drones attacks within Pakistan, questioining how a country could allow any other country to attack its areas. 

He questioned if Pakistan could execute drone attack onto London where a 'terrorist' wanted by Pakistan had been taking refuge for the last 30 years or so.

“If a terrorist from Pakistan is living in UK for the last 30 years, will UK allow us to launch a drone attack in their country,” teh premier questioned.

"Are we sub-humans. Our lives have no cost,” the Prime Minister said and regretted that the then government befooled masses by condemning drone US drone attacks, as later it was revealed in an open hearing of US Senate Committee that the US had permission from Pakistan government for drone attacks.

Khan made it clear that Pakistan "could stand by the US in maintaining peace in the region, but not wars".

Crititcising the previous regimes, Khan said, "We were unable to muster courage to admit publically the permission granted for drones attacks."

The premier went on to say that the tribal areas of the country were still unstable because of after effects of US war on terror.

Mr Khan pointed out that despite the great sacrifices Pakistan rendered in the US war on terror including the loss of 70,000 lives and $150 billion economic losses, it was declared as most dangerous place in the world.
