Islamabad, Feb. 1 (TNS): Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan on Thursday claimed that provincial police force enjoyed the best approval rating in entire country.

Khan was defending the force as the apex court last week censured the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P) police department over its performance.

In a series of tweets, Imran said there can be no comparison drawn between “the autonomous, depoliticised and professional’ K-P police and ‘totally politicised and non-professional Sindh and Punjab police”.

The chairman of PTI, the ruling party in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, said the K-P Police Act had completely depoliticised the police force in the province.

On the other hand, police force in Sindh and Punjab were being used for settling political scores through extrajudicial killing, Khan claimed.
