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.
