PM Imran Khan has issued special instruction to the national carrier to bring back 320 Pakistanis who have completed their jail terms in Malaysia and were stranded there due to suspension of direct flights.
ISLAMABAD: On special instructions of Prime Minister Imran Khan, the Pakistan International Airlines has arranged a aircraft to bring back 320 Pakistanis from Malaysia on Wednesday enabling them to celebrate Eid-ul-Fitr with their families.
A special plane of PIA will bring home Pakistani nationals lodged in Malaysian jails, but stuck due to cancellation of direct flights between the two countries, Radio Pakistan reported.
