Imran Speech

It was disappointing to see Imran Khan using street language while addressing a  rally that PTI had staged at Karachi in support of the CJP.  It was unbecoming the stature of a person aspiring to be a national leader. Insinuating President Zardari he said that he had taken a Punga that would ultimately spell his doom worse than Musharraf. I wonder if he knows that Punga is an outright  unparliamentary Punjabi word, whose literal translation cannot be printed in this letter.  Again, he had been repeatedly mentioning President Asif Ali Zardari by calling him  only “Zardari” and that too visibly  contemptuously.    It looked he was playing for the street urchins and using their tenor and tone also.

He is an Oxonian and one expects better manners and demeanour from him for his political adversaries.
