Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan said Monday that the war on terror can be won through unity of the nation, Radio Pakistan reported.

The war is difficult but not impossible, Imran Khan said during a press conference in Peshawar Monday.

The PTI chief demanded restoration of the original role to the Frontier Constabulary, legislation to ban illegal SIMs, better border management to regulate movement on Pakistan-Afghanistan border, immediate repatriation of illegal Afghan refugees, and firm plans for repatriation of the registered ones.

He also proposed provision of more funds for Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa government to handle internally displaced persons (IDPs).

Imran Khan, during his Peshawar trip, visited the recently attacked Army Public School, which left more than 140 students and teachers dead.

 

He was accompanied by Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Pervaiz Khattack and several ministers of the provincial cabinet.

Imran Khan and Pervaiz Khattack saw different parts of the school and later visited the homes of the martyred children to meet and console the bereaved parents.
