The death of the renowned politician has created a big void in politics of the sub-continent, he said, adding that the departed soul had made efforts to normalise the relations between the neighbouring countries while holding the office of the foreign minister.
Vajpayee continued these efforts after becoming the prime minister of India and successfully taken his agenda to new heights, Khan added.
The PTI chief extended sympathies to the people of India over his death, adding that the services of Vajpayee can only be recognised by creating peace between the two countries.
Despite political differences, people of both sides desire peace between India and Pakistan.
