In the Telegraph interview, Imran also spoke about his sons, Sulaiman Isa and Kasim, who visited him last week.

The story says together, Imran “afforded himself several ‘wonderful’ hours and they watched the World Cup cricket final together between England and Pakistan — as long as his boys promised him that they would support the Green Army.

“The United Kingdom is like a second home to me… some of my closest friendships are there but since my party came into power, it is impossible for me to visit,” he says.

“Since we were outside power, it is even more difficult, I am on the campaign trail. I don’t see myself leaving Pakistan now.”
