Amir Khan to visit Pakistan

According to media reports, Amir Khan told local media that he will visit Pakistan between Christmas and the New Year. He went on to say that he thinks that it’s more important now than ever to go over there. “I think it will send a statement to a lot of people that Amir Khan is going there to make a difference. I want it to be a better country. It’s just a shame – I cannot believe how sick some people are,” he said.

“Talking about this stuff could be threatening for me, but I just want to speak the truth and tell people what is happening is wrong. I would not consider cancelling the trip, you can’t hide away. Look, everything is in God’s hands and you cannot hide away from life. If something is going to happen it will happen. Everything is written for you, I believe, and you just have to go out there and do what you have to do and carry on with your life. You cannot let things like this stop you,” he said.

At this occasion, he said that talking to media about this incident and terrorism could be threatening for him, but he asserted that he merely wanted to speak the truth and tell people what is happening is wrong.
