Washington: The Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan on Tuesday said that his country still has about 30,000 to 40,000 militants "who have been trained and fought in some part of Afghanistan or Kashmir." These comments were made by Imran Khan at the United States Institute of Peace during his three-day visit to the nation.
Khan also said that the previous governments did not have the "political will" to disarm militant groups operating on their soil and the situation changed after his Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf government came into power.
