SWAT: Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan on Sunday said that Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif should know that education, not motorways reform nations.

At a rally in Swat district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), he hit back at prime minister over his recent 'where is Naya KP' remarks, by saying that 'Naya KP' will be seen in schools and not on newly developed roads.

"You must think before announcing such projects as you will not stay in power to complete them," said the PTI chief.

Reminding the people about his party-led government's investment in people and their education, he said that soon KP will be the most educated province of Pakistan and education is what develops a nation.

"KP is the only province where police is not politicised and our policemen were the ones who, within 24 hours solved the case of Soran Singh's (party legislator) murder," said Imran Khan.

He claimed that corruption has seen a steady decline in the province after PTI came into power and medical facilities have improved and will further improve in the KP.

Imran Khan lashed out at the the ruling PML-N and said that they could not bring any positive change despite two straight terms in Punjab.

"Now they say everyone is corrupt, if I am corrupt, start investigation against me or arrest me, this is what governments do. If we come into power, we will put you in jail and hold you accountable," said Imran Khan.

He asked the people of Swat to demand KP's due share in electricity, gas and water distribution from the PM, when he makes a visit to the area.

It is pertinent to note here that in March, the PM, during a workers convention in Peshawar, announced Peshawar - Kabul motorway and also said that the Hazara motorway is also not far from completion.

He had said that the PTI-led government in KP had been given every opportunity to remedy the problems faced by the province, but it had failed, adding that he wanted to see a 'Naya Khyber Pakhtunkhwa'.

"Khyber Pakhtunkhwa will have expressways and motorways, and the PML-N will build them for you and your future generations," he stated.

Just last week, the PM, flanked by JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman, performed the groundbreaking ceremony of a gas pipeline and the 285-kilometre-long DI Khan-Hakla Motorway, part of the western leg of the China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC).

The PM also allocated a fund of Rs500 million for development projects in DI Khan, including an agriculture university and an international airport.
