At the Overseas Pakistanis Convention in Islamabad, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif praised the diaspora for their contributions and outlined benefits to support them, including specialized courts for legal issues, educational quotas, and quicker immigration processes. However, analysts suggest that these initiatives may be politically motivated, as Sharif's government seeks to undermine the influence of former Prime Minister Imran Khan, who is believed to have strong support among Pakistanis abroad. The summit represents a strategic effort to foster ties with the diaspora while competing for their allegiance.
Many experts believe that the government's bouquet of assurances to the diaspora is more than just an innocent outreach effort: it's also a political move in a battle for the support of overseas Pakistanis with former Prime Minister Imran Khan.
Sharif also promised a range of benefits that he said his government would launch to help them, including special courts for overseas Pakistanis so their legal disputes are resolved faster.
