Karachi: Imran Khan, who in his initial public life earned global fame with his talent as a sportsperson, has often gained attention for his statements as a politician.
Many of these comments have been criticised and some have been outrightly mocked. His most recent ‘slip of tongue’ is in focus for the wrong usage of a measuring unit. Flour is not measured in liters, the Internet has been pointing out ever since the comment surfaced.
“Atta dugna ho gaya hai. Humare daur me ₹50 – ek kilo aata tha. Aaj wo Karachi ke ander sau rupaiye litre se upar chala gaya hai. (The price of flour has doubled. In our time, what costed ₹50 for a kg… has now passed ₹100/ litre mark in Karachi),” the cricketer-turned-politician said. He was lashing out at his successor Shehbaz Sharif’s government, claiming that the new Pakistan prime minister has failed in controlling the price hike in the country dealing with multiple economic challenges. The remarks were reported to have been made last week and since then, have been widely circulated on the Internet.
