The cowardly attack came at a the time when Government authorities and Taliban were ready to sit together for resolving the issues through talks when reveal the US demonic designs, the CM Pervaiz Khattak said .

He said that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has been ensuring speedy progress in the province through reforms.

A powerful and independent Accountability Commission will start functioning in the province soon which will be able to arrest anyone including the chief minister, he added.

PTI has planned to provide free education and healthcare facilities to all without any discrimination while computerisation of all land records would bring an end to complaints of corruption.

Pervaiz Khattak said that affluent people have been offering to donate billions to support our cause of education which will turn the backward province around.
