“We will seek support of oversees Pakistanis and ask them to adopt schools to promote education. The only road to progress is through education,” Khan said.
Khan said the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government had allocated a large budget for education.
Imran also stressed the need to demilitarise the society.
He said the people of Pakistan desperately needed peace and the only way to achieve it was by pulling out of the War on Terror.
“I have travelled across Tribal Areas. The people I met were loving and hospitable. By fighting them, you cannot win them over,” he said.
Khan said after his party had come to power, he had realised that the situation so bad.
Khan said Pakistanis were tolerant people.
“When I was growing up, I didn’t see religious discrimination around me. This menace forms a part of our recent history, when our government decided to participate in proxy wars,” he said.
Khan said Pakistan needed to come out of its state of war and invest heavily in education.
“We must learn from our mistakes and stop and disarm the militant groups as no country could progress without peace,” he said.
BNU Board of Governors chairperson Nasreen Mehmood Kasuri and Vice Chancellor Shahid Hafiz Kardar also spoke on the occasion.

“Elections in Afghanistan and India will have a huge impact on Pakistan. The government should monitor these elections closely,” he said.
He added that in developed democracies the role of the Army is extended and it is the need of the hour that the government and Army should be on the same page.
