  "summary": "Defence Minister Khawaja Asif has asserted that Imran Khan's sons, Qasim and Sulaiman, can visit Pakistan today by presenting their valid National Identity Cards for Overseas Pakistanis (Nicops). The government has consistently maintained that the sons can enter the country without a visa, based on their Nicops. However, the sons have claimed that their Nicops have expired and accused the government of denying them visas. Asif dismissed these claims as \"incorrect\" and reiterated that holders of Nicops can travel to Pakistan whenever they wish.",
