Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan on Saturday said his competition in politics is with Nawaz Sharif.
Addressing a function at Hayatabad Sports complex here during which he unveiled the under-23 competition logo and trophy, Imran Khan said, “There is competition in every field and pointed out that sports teach one about competition while quality education makes the difference.”
“You can defeat anyone if you have developed the competition skill and acquired a quality education,” the PTI chairman said amidst clapping by the participants.
He called for giving due importance to sports in Pakistan that would enable the youth to compete with the world in the 21st century.
He said, “There is a lack of opportunities in Pakistan and said whenever Pakistanis get such facilities abroad to polish their talent, they prove their worth.”
Giving his own example, Imran said that he would not have been a great player if he had stayed in Pakistan due to lack of facilities. He said he went to England where he benefited from sports facilities and education from the best institutions.
The PTI chairman announced to build sports grounds first at the district level and then at the tehsil level. He particularly stressed the need for providing sports facilities to the youth of FATA, saying that they have great talent and could become Pakistan’s best cricket team if facilities are provided and youth are properly trained.
He congratulated Chief Minister Pervez Khattak for his interest in the development of sports facilities.
Imran Khan sought the opinion of the gathering by raising their hands about good work done by Shahbaz Sharif and Pervez Khattak and the response was in favour of the latter.
He said, “Building of roads and bridges is not real development but the human resource is the development in addition to the strengthening of institutions.”
“They are improving the condition of hospitals in KPK and will be able to provide best health system in the province. He also lauded the KP police and said it was the best in Pakistan,” he added.
