Imran Khan thanks govt for placing him on no-fly list

LAHORE, May 26 (SABAH): Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman and former prime minister Imran Khan on Friday thanked the government for placing his name on the no-fly list along with 600 leaders and lawmakers of his party, because he had no plans to travel abroad.

In a statement on Friday, PTI Chairman Imran Khan said that he had no plans to go abroad because he neither had any properties or businesses abroad nor even a bank account outside the country.

He stated: “I want to thank the government for putting my name on the ECL as I have no plans to travel abroad, because I neither have any properties or businesses abroad nor even a bank account outside the country.”

Imran Khan stated: “If and when I do get an opportunity for a holiday, it will be in our northern mountains, my favourite place on earth.”

In a separate statement issued on twitter, Imran Khan said that the only thing I miss these days is hiking in our northern mountains with my sons. “Allah has blessed Pakistan with the best mountain trekking in the world. Inshallah one day we will make Pakistan the skiing capital of the world” he said.
