    Besides, we will also give him (Trump) Iran-like response... (not allowing Americans here in Pakistan," Imran said while addressing a party rally in Sahiwal, some 250km from Lahore.
     
    Taunting Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif for going abroad for treatment, Imran said, "Nawaz Sharif goes abroad even for the treatment of headache. If the US imposes ban (on Pakistanis) he too will focus Pakistan and develop it."
     
    Talking about Indo-Pak ties, Mr Khan said, "I want to remind (Prime Minister Narendra) Modi that every Pakistani is not coward like Nawaz Sharif. We are peaceful nation and even in India majority does not want war with Pakistan."
     
    He also criticised Mr Sharif for hiding behind his children to cover up his corruption.
