Imran’s Unbecoming Speech
By Col. Riaz Jafri (Retd.)
Rawalpindi, Pakistan
It was disappointing to see Imran Khan using street language while addressing a PTI rally in Karachi in support of the CJP. It was unbecoming 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 that of Musharraf.
I wonder if he knows that punga is an outright unparliamentary Punjabi word, whose literal translation cannot be mentioned in this letter. Again, he had been repeatedly mentioning President Asif Ali Zardari by calling him only “Zardari” and that too contemptuously. It appeared he was playing for the street urchins and using their tenor and tone also.
Imran is an Oxonian and one expects him to demonstrate better manners and demeanor for his political adversaries.
