Colombo, February 20 (newsin.asia): Imran Khan had an illustrious career in international cricket spanning two decades from the 1970s. He developed a good reputation all over the world through his charismatic personality and charitable work. The charismatic captain led Pakistan to its World Cup victory in 1992.
But Khan struggled for years to turn popular support into electoral gains. He launched his Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) in 1996. His party won the General Election 2018 and he became Prime Minister of Pakistan after a political struggle of 22 years, points out a release from the Pakistan High Commission.
The Pakistan PM is to visit Sri Lanka on February 23 and 24 during which he and his distinguished entourage will meet top political leaders and Sri Lankan businessmen. Khan will address a Pak-Sri Lanka conference on Trade and Development.

ON Thursday, a little after sunset, there is something more to add to routine business and the customary congestion at Surjani Town’s Sector 8 as dozens of men, women and children are lined up outside a double-storey building along the main service lane waiting for their turn to enter the recently renovated structure while a few labourers offload cauldrons of cooked food from a charity service van.
People entering the building are asked to wear face mask and those who do not have it are offered one. This is Panahgah first of its kind in the metropolis as part of Prime Minister Imran Khan’s initiative after more than 100 such centres have already been established in different parts of the country offering free food and shelter to the less privileged segment of society.
