PESHAWAR: Former Khudai Khidmatgar leader Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan, who is scheduled to return to Kabul from four months’ Indian visit on Sunday, will be requested to return to Pakistan by his friends, admirers and followers.

This was stated by Ghaffar Khan’s son, Khan Abdul Wali Khan, the NAP chief, while talking to newsmen after a public meeting this afternoon [Feb 6].

Wali Khan said that he had no time to visit Kabul to meet his father because he was heavily preoccupied with public activities, electioneering campaign and the organisational work of the National Awami Party but he hoped that Khan Ghaffar Khan’s other friends and followers will meet him.

Wali Khan explained that “There was no hitch in Badshah Khan’s return to Pakistan”. He himself had declared several times in India that his presence was needed in his country and that he will return home after completing his tour of India.
