Inhumane? Pak PM Imran Khan expresses ‘excitement’ at Russia-Ukraine war as he meets Putin, netizens react

Moscow: Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan, who arrived in Russia on Wednesday, seemingly described the visit to the country as ‘exciting’. “What a time I have come so much excitement,” he was heard telling a Russian official in a video shared by Pakistan’s Geo News reporter.

After Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan was heard saying ‘so much excitement’ when he had arrived in Moscow for a 2-day visit on Wednesday night- referring to the escalating tensions between Russia and Ukraine- the remark has led to him being trolled across the Internet.

Referring to a critical situation as ‘excitement’ did not go down well with the netizens, who decided to school the Pakistan PM for his insensitivity, with Putin initiating his war within hours of Pakistan PM’s arrival, and then sitting across from him at a cursory meeting making Imran Khan the first world leader to seemingly be happy to meet Putin while every other country was keeping him at arm’s distance.

Unashamed #ImranKhan in Moscow says “so much excitement” as Russia declares war on Ukraine

What else can be expected from a leader who thinks complex territorial issues should be resolved via ‘TV debate’

“What a time I have come, so much excitement,” said Imran Khan as he landed in Moscow.

Excitement? Of war? Of people desperately trying to save their lives?

What message is he sending to the world?

Is this man fit to be at the helm of our foreign policy? Idk. Irdk!
