ISLAMABAD( The COW News Digital)The sons of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan, Sulaiman and Kasim, have applied for Pakistani visas at the High Commission in London and are currently awaiting approval from the Interior Ministry, Aleema Khan said on Friday.
In a statement shared on X, Aleema revealed that Sulaiman and Kasim had submitted their visa applications a few days ago. She said the High Commission had confirmed receipt of the applications and conveyed that their approval was pending with the Ministry of Interior.
However, Minister of State for Interior Talal Chaudhry has raised questions regarding the nationality status of former prime minister Imran Khan’s children, citing Aleema’s earlier statement that the children hold National Identity Cards for Overseas Pakistanis (NICOP).
Responding to her post on X, Chaudhry said, “You previously stated that the children hold NICOPs. If that is true, they do not require visas to enter Pakistan. If they do need visas, that means they are not ‘Pakistani Nationals.’ What is the real truth behind it all?”
Meanwhile, sources in the Ministry of Interior have denied that any visa application from the sons of the PTI founder is under consideration.
The sources told The Express Tribune that no such application is currently being processed at the Ministry of Interior. They clarified that the ministry does not issue family visas or any other types of visas, and that claims suggesting otherwise are inaccurate.
Furthermore, they stated that visa matters of this nature fall solely under the jurisdiction of the Pakistan High Commission and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
