Khar indicated Monday the time has come to reopen the country's Afghan border to NATO troop supplies, saying the government has made its point by closing the route for nearly six months in retaliation for a deadly U.S. attack on its troops.

Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan said on Wednesday that he was contacting other political parties for the opposition campaign against expected re-opening of the Nato supply routes to Afghanistan, DawnNews reported. Talking to media representatives at the press conference at Zaman Paark in Lahore, Khan criticised the parliament for its inability to implement the resolution regarding future rules of engagement with the United States.
