Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan has stated that closing education institutions every time an important person visits an area is a ‘retrogressive’ approach, local media reported on Tuesday.
PTI leader criticised Prime Minister (PM) Nawaz Sharif after he visited Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s (KP) Bannu district today.
Khan wrote on a social media platform that he has directed Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government to take notice of closure of schools in the area during Prime Minister’s visit and take action.
Closing educational institutions when VIPs visit an area is a retrogressive practice. I have asked KP govt to immediately put a stop to it.
