Imran Khan draws flak for calling Osama Bin Laden 'martyr', claims Pakistan was 'humiliated' for supporting US war on terror

Firstpost  

Speaking in parliament during the budget session, Khan said the American forces entered Pakistan and killed bin Laden without informing Islamabad after which everyone started abusing his country. Islamabad: Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan on Thursday called slain Al-Qaeda chief and 9/11 mastermind Osama bin Laden a shaheed or martyr and said that Islamabad faced “embarrassment” by taking part in America’s war on terror. “For Pakistanis across the globe, it was an embarrassing moment when the Americans came and killed Osama bin Laden at Abottabad, martyred him. Reiterating the “destruction” a sweeping lockdown could cause to a country, Khan said: “India’s reports are in front of the world”.
