Khan in an interview to BBC Radio 5 said:

”It was just very sad to see innocent kids being killed, i want to donate the shorts for the Peshawar cause, rebuild a school and strengthen security around the area. We are very lucky in England that we have good security and I will be able to send my little girl to school and know she will be fine, but in Pakistan unfortunately you cannot do that. They send the kids outside the house and do not know if they are going to come back”.
