He said Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari should visit war-torn neighbouring country during his first foreign trip.

Imran Khan, who has been advocating against war, said the government should hold talks with Taliban to end terror activities in Pakistani.

Saying Pakistan had batter ties when Ashraf Ghani was in power in Afghanistan, adding: “We also kept engaging with Afghan Taliban after the took over the government”. It was on the basis of good ties with them that Pakistan managed to evacuate foreigners from Afghanistan.

Talking about internal situation, he said the Khyber Pakhtunkhwas police could not fight against TTP as the banned group’s militants are equipped with American weapons.

He also complained that the federal government was not issuing funds to the KP government as it needs to be spend more money in tribal districts.
