Author: Web Desk

ISLAMABAD: On special instructions of Prime Minister Imran Khan, the Pakistan International Airlines has arranged an aircraft to bring back 320 Pakistanis from Malaysia on Wednesday enabling them to celebrate Eid-ul-Fitr with their families.

There are over 320 Pakistani nationals in the Malaysian jails who have completed their sentence term and were unable to be repatriated as direct flights got suspended in the last week of February this year owing to the regional situation.

A special plane of PIA will bring home Pakistani nationals lodged in Malaysian jails, but stuck due to the cancellation of direct flights between the two countries, Radio Pakistan reported.

The prime minister issued special directives to arrange the return of these detainees so that they may be able to join their families on the occasion of Eid-ul-Fitr.
