RECORDER REPORT

PESHAWAR: Chief Minister Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Pervez Khattak has said that peace in Afghanistan is essentially required for durable peace in the entire region. The international forces have to set aside their political motives in order to find out a permanent solution to the Afghan conflict.

He was talking to a 180-member delegation comprising students and faculty members of different universities of Balochistan at Chief Minister House on Thursday. Advisor to Chief Minister on Higher Education Mushtaq Ghani, MPA Shaukat Yousafzai and other high officials were also present.

He said that the soil of Afghanistan was used by the international forces for their own gains and after that Afghanistan was left in the lurch. The constant waves of terrorism caused loss of both human lives and property. The international forces should stop funding the extremists and terrorists organizations.

He said the Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa was on the fulfillment of its part of the responsibility under the national action plan that was recognized at national level. The provincial government set up CTD, Police Training School and depoliticized the police force so that our weaknesses could not be exploited by the enemies. This nation needed a sincere and sagacious leadership and we needed a depoliticized delivery system as both are concomitant to lead the country out of the myriad of problems. The Chief Minister appreciated the inter-provincial-study-tours adding that it would give a unique opportunity to learn from each other experiences.
