MINGORA:
Rejecting Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s claim that the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf government has failed to bring any change in Khyber-Pakhtunkwa, PTI Chairman Imran Khan said on Sunday that “change can’t be seen from a helicopter”.
“The K-P government has brought about a positive change in education, healthcare and police, which the premier could not see,” Imran told a rally in the Saidu Sharif city of Swat.

Two days earlier, the prime minister told a rally in Swat that PTI had failed to implement its slogan of ‘change’ and that it was the PML-N government that would build a ‘Naya Pakhtunkhwa’.
Imran hit back, saying that “the prime minister could not see the change which the provincial government has brought in K-P from his helicopter”.
He said roads and motorways could not make a nation strong and that the PTI was committed to building a nation by modernising education. “Only education can assure development and prosperity. It is a matter of embarrassment for the federal government that around 25 million children in the country are out of school.”
Highlighting the achievements of the K-P government, he said the Health Regularity Act had been passed by the provincial assembly.

The PTI chief commended the K-P police for apprehending the killers of slain MPA Soran Singh and said the K-P police was progressing at a rapid pace.
Panamagate issue
Imran also lashed out at PM Nawaz for ‘resorting to lies’ over the Panama Paper leaks. “Our prime minister is turning a deaf ear to the public demand for probing into the Panama Leaks and his family’s offshore companies,” he said.
