Pak Taliban offers protection to Imran Khan

 
At a press conference,  Imran Khan said he had been promised the support of local tribes but was worried the government was opposed to allowing foreign peace campaigners and journalists  from attending the rallies.  
 
"We feel no threat from any side but feel threatened by the forces which have been playing politics on this issue," he said.
 
 "The government should take steps to provide security to the media persons, who would be covering the every bit of the proposed peace march."
 
The CIA's  drone attacks have accelerated under Barack Obama's rule, provoking widespread anger in Pakistan.
 
Pakistan government has called for an end to the strikes, arguing they breed support for militant groups, but privately, the government is believed to approve the tactic as a means of taking out insurgent leaders.
 
The Bureau of Investigative Journalism has recorded at least 2570 deaths since 2004 in 346 drone strikes.
