Resume NATO supplies in 3 days or face us in court: APOTOA warns Imran
The All Pakistan Oil Tankers Owners Association’s (APOTOA) vice-president Shams Shahwani on Friday threatened Imran Khan that if the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa government did not resume NATO supplies to Afghanistan within 72 hours, the Association would have no other option but to pursue legal action against him, Express News reported.
Shahwani said the ban on supplies was causing immense financial losses to oil tanker owners.
He said the Association was also mulling the idea of organising ‘dharnas’ (protests) in cities all over Pakistan, or cutting off fuel supplies to Khyber-Pukhtunkhwa in reaction.
The APOTOA official professed that those engaged in NATO supplies were open to the idea of pursuing alternative sources of income, but the government would have to arrange these for them.

The PTI should be lauded, not condemned, for blocking NATO supplies
On November 25, the electronic media tried to fool the people by castigating, left, right and centre the activists of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and the Jamaat-e-Islami (JI), asking what objectives were being achieved by blocking the Nato supply route. The media tried to brainwash the people of Pakistan and threatened the protesters (by showing an alternative route now available to the US), in the hope that the PTI and the JI initiative would lose support.
In case of Nato supply routes being blocked, it is being portrayed by media reports that Pakistan would be the loser because the US payments for transit services may go to Iran instead. The reports have tried to create the impression that blocking the Nato supply route creates a tremendous economic loss for our country but these experts are wilfully silent on the quantum of economic and financial losses and damages that this US proxy war has caused Pakistan; one moderate estimate is around $120 billion. Therefore, this kind of pro-American propaganda by our media seems to rely on the naivete of the Pakistani people, hoping that they don’t see through this propaganda gag.
What have the Pakistani people gained from the fact that Nato supplies run through Pakistan? Some drivers got jobs, but they also risk their lives on a daily basis. Some Afghan and Pakistani owners of trailers and trucks have exploited the opportunity and their families have grown rich. The money paid by Nato and the US, as reimbursements for using Pakistani facilities, has either gone to the security establishment or vanished into the black channels of our political establishment. The Pakistani people and the Pakistani economy, at large, have not gained anything from all this.
On the other hand, not the supply routes directly but the engagement of Pakistan as an ally in the Afghan war, has cost our society dearly. Militancy has grown and spread throughout Pakistan. This has resulted in an outflow of capital from Pakistan; countless people have not only lost their jobs and income as a result, but also lost their lives and properties. Some media outlets are projecting a distorted picture of the situation, disregarding the national interests of our country.
Most of our politicians, anchors and ‘experts’ only eye their own monetary gains and don’t care about the nation’s requirements. Where were these experts and their patrons when Nato supplies were stopped for almost three months because around two dozen soldiers were killed at the Salala checkpost? Nobody cared about economic and financial losses then. Did these television anchors and their so-called experts ever voice their concern for the people who are facing hardships due to an unprecedented rise in prices of basic food items (atta was available at Rs13 a kilogramme in 2001 and now it is being sold for Rs52 a kilogramme) because of corporate exploitation linked to the Afghanistan problem?
For the survival of Pakistan, we need to forge national unity, which means solidarity between all the different groups and across the social strata. Right now, Pakistan is suffering due to civil war and drone attacks; those who try to stop the suffering thus deserve our solidarity and support; not the blame. God bless Pakistan.

So the "loss" claimed to be $90 billion in the other thread is now $120 billion here?
BTW, both claimed figures are known to be inflated lies.

This figure was admitted by the government to be a lie, just like the $45 billion loss for the floods, which was later shown to be $9 billion.
