The major protest rally took place in the city of Multan where demonstrators chanted slogans against the US. Reports say similar protests were also held in other towns and cities of Punjab on Sunday.
This comes after at least three people were killed and many others wounded in an attack carried out by a US assassination drone in the Pakistani tribal region of North Waziristan on July 13.
The drone fired two missiles — one into a compound and another at two people riding a motorcycle — in the village of Mossaki outside of Mir Ali, one of the main towns in North Waziristan, killing three people.
This comes as Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif recently blasted US assassination drone strikes in his country, describing them as a violation of international law and the UN charter.
Islamabad has repeatedly condemned the attacks, saying they violate Pakistan’s sovereignty.
Washington claims that the airstrikes target militants, but reports on the ground show that civilians have been the main victims of the attacks.
US President Barack Obama recently defended the use of the controversial drones as “self-defense.”
The aerial attacks, initiated by former US president George W. Bush, have been escalated under President Obama.
The United Nations and several human rights organizations have already identified the US as the world’s number one user of “targeted killings” largely due to its drone attacks in Pakistan and Afghanistan.
