Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan has said the Pakistan Government should withdraw from the U.S.-led war against terror in Afghanistan to establish peace in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province.

Imran said the war on terror has affected the PTI-ruled province the most, the Daily Times reports.

He vowed to make a difference in the province in the next six months by introducing new laws, the report added.

While addressing an election meeting on Sunday, Imran denounced constant criticism against his party as immature saying that it had been in power just for two-and-a-half months for the first time in its history.

Imran said his government will put an end to thana, kutchery and patwari culture which led to oppression and exploitation of people.

He assured provision of clean drinking water in Dera Ismail Khan, the report added.

He also announced to construct sports grounds in every tehsil of the province.
