ISLAMABAD (Kashmir English): The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa chief minister’s advisor on finance and interprovincial coordination, Muzzammil Aslam, had trouble remembering the names of the colleges established by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI).
Muzzammil Aslam struggled to respond as Coordinator to the Prime Minister on Information for Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Affairs Ikhtiar Wali Khan repeatedly requested him to list 33 universities on a chat program.

In a discussion on private television programming, Aslam claimed that the PTI had established 33 universities during its tenure.
Ikhtiar Wali Khan, Prime Minister’s Coordinator, reacted to this by asking Aslam to provide the list of 33 universities that were founded in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
However, he could only list three, which included Swabi University, Swat University, and Agriculture University in Dera Ismail Khan.
In addition, he tried to attribute the founding of the Mardan University to his party, Tehreek-e-Insaf.
Ikhtiar Wali Khan, however, has refuted this allegation, saying that Mardan University was founded in the tenure of Amir Haider Khan.
