Islamabad: Condemning the plight of Muslims being prevented from entering the US after President Donald Trump’s immigration ban, Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf chairman Imran Khan has said he wanted the US to ban Pakistani visas so that the administration could focus on fixing the country. 

“I want to tell all Pakistanis today, I pray that Mr Trump bans Pakistani visas so that we can focus on fixing our country,” the Dawn quoted Mr Khan as saying on Sunday.

Mr Khan said things in Pakistan could only get better if the people worked for the country’s progress. He said most educated Pakistanis wanted to leave the country, adding the best citizens would return the day the merit system would be back. 

“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 IMF,” he said.
