A rare photo of Prime Minister Imran Khan with sons went viral on social media on Wednesday. The image shows PM Imran Khan standing with his two sons, Qasim and Suleman, in Pakistan’s northern tourist spot, Skardu.
The old image of Khan with his sons caught the attention of internet users. The fans and followers of Imran Khan outpoured love and warmth on the heartwarming image. The image gained extraordinary traction on social media also because the premier is hardly seen spending quality time with his sons.

Khan loves his sons so much so that he has even dedicated his book-‘Pakistan, A Personal History’- to his sons. His sons wanted to attend his oath-taking ceremony, however, Khan strictly refused them to come to Pakistan for the ceremony.
In his recent interview on Thursday, Khan stated that his children live in London but he has not traveled to London to meet them since he has become the prime minister of Pakistan.
