Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan said on Sunday that he will write a letter to the prime minister and ask him to form a comprehensive anti-terrorism policy to rid the country of this peril.
Addressing a convention of PTI workers and elected candidates from Punjab, Imran Khan said Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa is the most adversely affected by terrorism in the country.
“The whole nation will have to fight against terrorism and devise a joint policy to eradicate this menace,” Imran said while condemning the bomb blast in K-P that killed 17 people.
He said he will write a letter to the premier and ask him to convene a meeting of all stakeholders in the province and the army chief to discuss a comprehensive strategy to end terrorism.

Will we be still living to taste the fruit of his so called revolutionary polices????Act before it's too late for many of KPK inhabitants.
Since Imran Khan's party rules the province which is worst affected by terrorism, and is in close proximity to the region where most militants are stationed, I think instead of just writing to the Prime Minister to devise a joint anti-terrorism policy, Imran khan's party should take the initiative and through discussion with the tribal elders and other concerned parties, have his proposals ready, which could be fine-tuned during joint discussions with the Prime Minister, the army chief and other concerned parties.
Imran Khan's party ought to play the main, or at least a substantial role in the formation of a comprehensive national anti-terrorism policy, and also be equally active in its successful implementation.
I think the situation in the province requires much more than merely acting as messengers, just writing letters etc.
