Hope Trump bans Pakistani visas: Imran Khan

January 30, 2017 09:17

Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan while condemning the plight of Muslims prevented from entering the United States under US President Donald Trump's immigration ban, expressed hope that the ban is extended to Pakistanis.

"I want to tell all Pakistanis today, I pray that Trump bans Pakistani visas so that we can focus on fixing our country," Khan told a rally in Sahiwal.

The PTI chief said most educated Pakistanis want to leave this country because they think they can only acquire gainful employment if they have a "powerful source", and said he believes that things in Pakistan can only improve if people work for progress.

"The day we bring back the merit system back to Pakistan, all our best citizens will return and work for the betterment of this country," Khan said.

"We will have to fix Pakistan and stand on our own two feet. And the day that we decide this is our home and we have to fix it, we won't beg for loans from the US and the International Monetary Fund."

Khan said the day there is a government that decides it has to live and die in Pakistan, it will fix this country.
