PESHAWAR - Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan has asked youth to come forward and play a leading role in the country’s development and serving humanity. “Besides eliminating corruption, the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government is also focusing on providing quality education and best health facilities to people of the province,” he said.
The KPK government, he said, would plant around 1 billion trees by 2018, so that to counter the global warming, as Pakistan is among the top 10 countries feared to be the worst affected by global warming.
He said this while addressing at the Islamia College, Peshawar, here yesterday.
The PTI chief avoided to talk on politics and advised youth to play their role in the development of the country and services of humanity. “Let us join in tree plantation so that to set an example to the rest of the world,” he advised the students. 
Imran said that the provincial government was determined to reform education and health sectors, but unfortunately, it faces opposition from mafias. The provincial government would fight against those who are creating hurdles in this regard.
He asked Vice Chancellor of Islamia College University to use properties of the college properly to generate endowment funds, which, he said, could be used scholarships to deserving students.
He revealed that the Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital Peshawar will be inaugurated on December 29.
He also said that there are a number of wealthy people but they don’t spend money on humanity. “Those who work for the services of people and spend on humanity earn good name,” he said.
On this occasion, Khan directed Chief Minister Pervez Khattak and Minister for Public Health Shah Farman to ensure early supply of clean drinking water to the area.
The PTI Chief condemned the Parachinar blast and said that everyone in the country was on the same page against terrorism.
Upon the arrival of the PTI chief in the Islamia College, disorder was also witnessed. The charged PTI workers broke the security wall around the venue to make their entry. This triggered police to baton charge the workers. Some media persons were also baton charged and misbehaved by the police in the presence of SSP (Operations) Mian Mohammad Saeed.
