Prime Minister Imran Khan is Al Jazeera's 'personality of the week' for his efforts to address the issue of Islamophobia.

The international Arabic news channel based in Doha, Qatar has a weekly programme called 'Sibaq-ul-Akhbar'. It is a live, interactive programme that runs for an hour in Arabic on Al Jazeera.

It is a popular programme in Arab countries. 

The channel selects the week's three to four top news and asks viewers to vote for which top news story is associated with a certain personality.

The Pakistan premier secured 56% votes on the Sibaq-ul-Akhbar programme held on 24th of this month.
