Imran Khan and his entourage reportedly flew to America on a commercial, instead of chartered, flight to save on cost. The premier delivered a speech about the benefits of meritocracy, a relentless fight to curb corruption and laid out his vision for "Naya (New) Pakistan", words that energised the crowd of US-based expat Pakistanis.
