Pak has rented out its military to US for 1.5 billion dollars: Imran Khan

Islamabad, July 7 (ANI) : Cricketer-turned politician, Imran Khan has charged the PPP-led government of being subservient to the United States, saying that government has rented out the country's army to the US in exchange of 1.5 billion dollars.

"We have rented our military out to US in exchange of mere 1.5 billion dollars while US is spending sixty billion dollars on its army comprising 55,000 troops in Afghanistan," The News quoted Khan, as saying.
