Imran Khan’s Party Uses Old PM Modi Clip To Target Pak PM. Irony Is..
New Delhi:
An old video of a speech by Prime Minister Narendra Modi is trending across the border. Leaders of Imran Khan’s party, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf, are sharing a clip of PM Modi to slam the Shehbaz Sharif government over Pakistan’s financial crisis.
The video shows PM Modi’s speech in Rajasthan’s Barmer during his campaign for the 2019 general election. “We destroyed Pakistan’s arrogance, forced them to go around the globe with a begging bowl,” the Prime Minister says.
He also refers to Pakistan’s threats of a nuclear attack and says: “We have stopped fearing Pakistan’s threats. If they have nuclear weapons, ours are hardly kept for Diwali.”
As Pakistan battles an economic crisis, PTI supporters have started sharing the video clip to attack the Sharif-led government, even though the comments were made when Imran Khan was in power. Imran Khan was ousted following a no-trust vote last year.
The video has been shared, among others, by Azam Khan Swati, former Pakistan minister and senior leader of the Imran Khan-led party.
