Imam-e-Kaaba Sheikh Khalid al Ghamdi will arrive in Pakistan on Thursday on special invitation of the government.

A local news channel quoted highly-placed sources in the Saudi government as saying the Imam-e-Kaaba will visit the country to defuse tensions between the traditional allies, which developed following the Parliament’s resolution rejecting the Saudi request of personnel support in Yemen recently.

He is scheduled to stay in the country for five to six days.

The Imam will hold meetings with the senior leadership of the ruling Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz.

Further, Sheikh Ghamdi will lead Juma prayers at a mosque and address a gathering there.

Rex Minor | 9 years ago | Reply First the religious minister and now followed by the Imam of Kaaba, to evaluate the muslimness of the so called Nawaz muslim league and the people at large to see if they continue to qualify for large quota for Haj pilgrimage to Kaaba. The plan is to drasticaly curtail the number of workers from the Indian subcontinent replacing them with more Egyptians and Libyans and arabs from the north african countries who with the collapse of Iraq, Libya and Syria are landing on the shores of the meditrenian.
