Imran Khan's newest 'slip of tongue': 'Atta ₹100/ litre'. Watch | World News

Imran Khan, who in his preliminary public life earned world fame together with his expertise as a sportsperson, has usually gained consideration for his statements as a politician. Many of those feedback have been criticised and a few have been outrightly mocked. His most up-to-date ‘slip of tongue’ is in focus for the flawed utilization of a measuring unit. Flour isn't measured in liters, the Web has been declaring ever for the reason that remark 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 value of flour has doubled. In our time, what costed ₹50 for a kg… has now handed ₹100/ litre mark in Karachi),” the cricketer-turned-politician stated. He was lashing out at his successor Shehbaz Sharif’s authorities, claiming that the brand new Pakistan prime minister has failed in controlling the value hike within the nation coping with a number of financial challenges. The remarks had been reported to have been made final week and since then, have been broadly circulated on the Web.

As talked about earlier than, this isn't the primary time that Imran Khan has made feedback which were broadly shared, albeit, not for the fitting causes. Earlier, this 12 months, earlier than his authorities collapsed, and he had visited Russia - simply on the time the Ukraine conflict began, he was criticised for his “thrilling instances” remark. “What a time to return, a lot pleasure,” he had been quoted as saying.

Amongst many different of his feedback which have stirred controversy, one is on Osama Bin Laden. "I'll always remember how we Pakistanis had been embarrassed when the People got here into Abbottabad and killed Osama bin Laden, martyred him," he had stated on the US operation to get rid of the terrorist.
