Here is why PM Abbasi won’t go  skydiving  

NEW YORK: Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi says he was fond of skydiving but now he is too old to undertake the adventure. 

Prime Minister who is currently in New York to attend the United Nations General Assembly gave his first international media interview to the CNN.

The interview was primarily based on Pakistan and US strained relations; however it ended on a rather amusing note when PM was asked about his interest in skydiving.

Shahid Khaqan Abbasi told that he is a pilot and stayed in the profession for over 40 years.

Asked whether he would want to do it in future holidays or not, the premier answered that he has become old for this adventure.
