Peshawar, Jan 14 (IBNS): Pakistani cricketer-turned-politician Imran Khan and his wife Reham Khan were booed by grieved parents as the couple visited Peshawar's Army Public School , which was attacked by militants in December, on Wednesday to meet the students.

Protesting parents were seen holding placards against Khan and his wife and even shouting slogans like  "Go Imran Go".

"Holding posters and banners, the protesters tried to stop Khan's vehicle from entering and complained that the provincial government did not show any concern regarding the school attack. The demonstrators also lamented that it took Khan a month to come to Peshawar and speak to the students after the deadly school massacre," Dawn News reported.

Khan later tweeted: "I went to motivate & raise morale of the APS students; instead, their passion & fearlessness ended up motivating me."

Less than a month after militants had killed at least  150 people ,including school students,  the  Army Public School (APS)  reopened with children attired in their uniforms returning to their classrooms on Monday.
