Overseas Pakistanis and professionals are pinning high hopes on Imran Khan as Pakistan Tehreek-e- Insaf (PTI) is set to form the next government, saying that the time has come to deliver on his vision of a new, prosperous Pakistan after winning the nation’s trust.

Pakistanis settled in the UK and professionals hailing from his home town said if incentives are given with genuine one-window facilitation to cut through red tap-ism, they would mull over the option of investment for playing their role in the crippling economic crisis, they told in their separate comments.

Amman Yusaf, working in optometry in central London said it was encouraging to hear Imran Khan tap the potential of over 7 million overseas Pakistanis fanned out across the globe to surmount the daunting challenge of eliminating corruption.

“But the real hiccup is availability of basic information on-line about investment incentives and sectors where expatriates can invest, garnering prompt responses to their email requests,” he said.

Pakistan’s expatriates will be ready to respond provided they have an iron-guarantee that their investment will remain safe and they will not be dragged into unnecessary litigation by locals. Being able to concentrate on business ventures thus necessitates requisite judicial reforms too, said Amman.

“We’re going to run Pakistan in a way it’s never been run before,” Imran said in his victory speech after he bowled out his opponents while his supporters took to the streets in celebration.
