TODAY, Imran Khan took oath as the 22nd Pakistan Prime Minister. The oath-taking ceremony was administered by Pakistan President Mamnoon Hussain.
High-profile guests including caretaker Prime Minister Nasirul Mulk, National Assembly Speaker Asad Qaiser, Army Chief Gen Qamar Javed Bajwa, Air Chief Marshal Mujahid Anwar Khan and Naval Chief Admiral Zafar Mahmood Abbasi. Former cricketers like Rameez Raja and Wasim Akram were also in attendance.
Former cricketer and Congress leader Navjot Singh Sidhu too attended the function; he had arrived at the country yesterday.
The ceremony was also graced by his wife Bushra Maneka.
Imran Khan was tearful and stumbled over some of the words of the oath administered to him by Pakistan President Mamnoon Hussain. Mr. Khan swore to “bear true faith and allegiance to Pakistan”, and to “discharge my duties and perform my functions honestly, to the best of my ability… and always in the interest of the sovereignty, integrity, solidarity, well-being, and prosperity of Pakistan.”
Tanvir Sadiq, the adviser to Omar Abdullah, congratulated Imran Khan on his swearing in. “Here is hoping that now onwards, the relationship between India and Pakistan ushers in a new dawn where peace and prosperity of two countries prevail over animosity and destruction,” he tweeted
