If our party Pakistani Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) was elected to power, the nation will be released from the slavery of America,\u201d Imran said while addressing people in Swabi area of restive Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, according to Pakistani newspaper, The Nation.<\/p>\n<p>He said if elected to power, his party will make the country self-reliant and sovereign.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe won\u2019t allow anybody to violate our air space. We will uphold the sovereignty of the country at all costs. If elected as PM, I would ask country\u2019s Air force to target US drones violating Pakistan\u2019s airspace. I won\u2019t allow US drones to violate Pakistan\u2019s airspace,\u201d Imran asserted.<\/p>\n<p>Imran\u2019s political party PTI has emerged as third political force in Pakistan after PPP and PML lead by former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif. Political commentators are of the opinion that Imran\u2019s PTI will give tough fight to PPP and PML-N in May 11 general elections.<\/p>\n<p>There are opinions that party may emerge as a king-maker after the elections.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Write your comments and thoughts below<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Faiz Ahmad \/ NationalTurk Pakistan News<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<!-- Error, Advert is not available at this time due to schedule\/geolocation restrictions! -->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pakistani cricketer-turned-politician Imran Khan has threatened that if he was elected as Prime Minister of Pakistan in May 11 general elections, he would target US drones violating Pakistan\u2019s airspace. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":732,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[25,30,80,63,1,118,85,101,14],"tags":[50906,48202,44613,50915,50908,44685,18538,636,48401,50910,50905,50911,50914,50913,48199,50907,42698,50912,50909,42513,50916,47539],"class_list":["post-37324","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-america","category-asia","category-breaking-news","category-daily","category-general","category-hot","category-media-news","category-politics","category-world","tag-elected","tag-imran-khan","tag-khyber-pakhtunkhwa-province","tag-king-maker","tag-may-11-general-elections","tag-nawaz-sharif","tag-obama-administration","tag-pakistan","tag-pakistan-air-force","tag-pakistans-airspace","tag-pakistani-cricketer-turned-politician","tag-pakistani-tehreek-e-insaf","tag-pml-n","tag-political-force","tag-ppp","tag-prime-minister-of-pakistan","tag-pti","tag-swabi-area","tag-target-us-drones","tag-the-nation","tag-us-canada","tag-violating"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37324","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/732"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=37324"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37324\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=37324"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=37324"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=37324"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
