They urged their compatriots to take interest in their children's education and avail themselves of excellent educational system and join main stream political parties to participate in local politics rather than their parent country. British Pakistani Muslims have played their part in strengthening British economy, the claim being, Britain a second home could have been true about our forefathers but now Britain is our first home.
