The CM said that the role of father of Peace, Bacha Khan and his companions in Khudai Khidmatgar Tehrik was part of history. Khudai khidmatgar considered serving existing and coming generations as their prior responsibility. The enemies to knowledge were weaving conspiracies of throwing the Pakhtuns into darkness of ignorance while the soldiers of Bacha Khan were committed for thwarting their evil agenda. He said that we will counter the terror threat constructively and will lit the candle of knowledge at all cost.

He said that district Mardan was deprived in connection with development and modern facilities during the past six decades, adding, the present government was committed for removal of these injustices and deprivations. He said that unfortunately we don't have an MPA in PK-28 but the resources spent on development schemes here were equal to funds of 5 MPAs. He said that development without education particularly girls education was impossible to achieve, adding, that was why both forms of the education, and provision of transport facilities were our top priorities. He said that work on girls college, named after khudai khidmatgar Gulab Baba in Katlang, was in progress while upgradation of high schools at Alo, Babuzai, Koi Barmol, Karakai and Qasmi to higher secondary level costing Rs. 120 million have been approved.
