"People will definitely die of hunger if India continues its lockdown" : PM Imran Khan

[Local.Dada]

He used it as a way to compare.
Like Boris was doing when comparing with the rest of Western Europe.

Don't know why Indians are so hurt by this.

Because he is using this in a wrong context. Even Pakistani journalists have called him out from that above tweet posted.

Modi apologized because this was an unavoidable circumstance due to which people have been caused inconvenience. Not because he thinks it is a mistake.

Imran Khan is using that to defend his inaction to say look how Modi is apologizing for screwing up.

How difficult is it to understand?

Has Modi mentioned Pakistan or even any other South Asian country? He doesn’t because is focusing on his country in times of crisis.

Imran Khan was requesting debt write off for Iran and pointing fingers at india.

 

[the Great Khan]

Maybe Pakistan depends on it but india never uses Pakistan for equivalence.

I mean yes Pakistan has a rich legacy in cricket and its accomplishments can be compared to India but that’s about it were the equivalence can stop.

I know usually we always fall back to the toilets,poor people, rapes rhetoric and that is true all those problems exist but I think it is easier for Pakistanis to point out and say hey look there are only 100 people
Doing their business on the street in Pakistan but India has 500 etc,

There is absolutely no equivalence apart from some common issues here.

You can’t compare the problems of a bankrupt country to a country that has a healthy economy, fledging business and trade and no masters.

Even in a time such as this you just cant help it can you? the PM was trying show a comparison. There are certain fundamentals that are not dissimilar between the two countries. e.g. lots of migrant workers in large cities, uneven health provision, large areas that are very poor and poor sanitation.

Now try to put your fundamentalist views to the backburner for once, nobody is having a go at your mighty superpowar nation..Your the best ok? Happy?

Now move along..and pray.

He isn't comparing. He is trying to give justification to decision based upon circumstance of another country but twisting facts (just like he did in case of Assam in CAA issue). He seems like either lacks the knowledge to analyze the situtation or purposefully distorts facts telling half truth to common pakistani people.

Modi didn't apologize for lockdown. He apologized for the certian circumstances that it brought upon. And IK didn't even went into details about strategy of India about how it's coping with feeding the hungry people.

Whatever the govt is, there's already a system in place even in micro level in India which could be mobilized in dire times like these. And Modi has utilized these to its full potential. I have no knowledge about metros as i am not invovled in that sector (may be someone else will be able to give explanation on how things are there), but in villages, it's been running perfectly.

IK should have taken an interest into how india is making stragies since india & pakistan both have some common issues while going for lockdown. If he had talked with indian counterparts (India already opened its door for this subject), he could have had more option than trying to search for justification for his own decisions.

IK is a weak leader. And Pakistan needed a strong one at this time.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

I work mainly in rural sectors.

Ask any people from villages to varify. By this time, it should occur in all villages across india.

Oh I see.....good to hear.

you can if the landscape and architecture look roughly similar, and the people are poor and living in squalid conditions. Now perhaps you are going to tell me that's not true, and in fact the population of India lives in air conditioned luxury where Covid can't touch them?

I won’t go as far as calling you intelligent but I hope you are a man of average intelligence atleast because unbelievable my post has gone over your head. I think and hope you are just putting on an act for your sake.

Did I deny india has poverty or internal issues?

However the Indian government is better equipped relatively speaking in terms of finance and available medical resources to handle this way better than any of its neighbors. That’s an indisputable fact. Apples to apples here.

Also are you thick, how does staying in AC prevent this disease, doesn’t your PM (not Imran Khan) have this too?

Every economy including US and China will suffer from the impact but obviously bankrupt and nearly bankrupt nations will face the brunt and india is in neither of these categories.

I thought you wouldn't need everything spelled out for you, but air conditioned luxury was obviously laced with a touch of sarcasm, in that the population of India were so well off (in your world) that they had no need to step outside, and could live off stores of provisions prepared daily by well paid chefs. (That was sarcasm too by the way).

It’s actually not an indisputable fact given that one of India’s neighbours happens to be China so in a post about intelligence and average intelligence this smacks of down right stupidity.

I know you like to hold on to the clutch of friendly neighborhood Chinastan for equivalence to show how india is behind but my average intelligence tells me China is not a part of South-Asia. South-Asia not a typo but repeating it twice so that you don’t miss it. Feel Free to correct me with your superior intelligence

I think you are misunderstanding his post.

In a smiple example, Let's say you have tremedous resources but if they aren't organized, then you will have hard time to organize them in a crisis where every seconds matter.

In another case, even if you limited resources, if they are spread across the area in a strategic manner where they can be upgraded/downgraded their responsibilities in the time of need while also training them for such scenarios.... even with limited resources, you can stand better against the odds. Because in this case, you don't need to establish the network rather, you will just need to tweak a little.

This is the issue when a local dada spreads his wings too quickly and tries to become a big player in an environment that is alien to him.
He ends up with a bloody nose and retreats with his tail between his legs.
That’s if he has an iota of intelligence. In your case you want to continue to dig deeper because you don’t recognise the point of no return.

Now go back to the post you wrote above (and the post I responded to) and show me the two magic words SOUTH and ASIA.
Indisputable fact: The two words are not present in that post of yours.

Bill Gates has been screaming for lockdowns in the US. But Khan saab knows more than a guy who's spent the last decade or so dedicated to fighting disease.

And why is he filled with so much humanity towards other countries. Resident Pakistanis must be seeing their patience badly tested by him of late.

Pakistani PM opposes lockdown again

The prime minister of Pakistan, the world's fifth most populous country, has once again opposed a nationwide lockdown. Imran Khan urged citizens to fight the virus with "wisdom", even as cases rose to beyond 1,900. But varying degrees of shutdowns have been observed across districts.

Here are some other updates from countries in the region:

Several Indian students stranded in Bangladesh due to travel restrictions have appealed to the Indian government to evacuate them from the country, local media report
A second person has reportedly died from Covid-19 in Sri Lanka as cases surpass 120
Nepal, which has only five confirmed cases so far, is tracking the exodus of its migrant workers from India amid criticism of its decision to close the border for its citizens stranded in India

Pakistan's Covid-19 outbreak not comparable to other countries, says PM Imran

Prime Minister Imran Khan said that so far the intensity of the coronavirus outbreak in the country has not escalated to the degree witnessed in other parts of the world.

Inaugurating the upgradation project of Cantonment General Hospital in Rawalpindi, the premier said: "Pakistan's fatalities, the number of people who are dying, are lesser than that of the average number of deaths across the world.

"We are in the process of gathering our data," he said, adding that the government will have a better idea of the situation after that.

[MenInG]

Prime Minister Imran Khan said on Wednesday that China gave priority to Pakistan with medical assistance for the coronavirus pandemic as soon as it brought the outbreak in its territories under control.

The prime minister was addressing a gathering today where he said that the worldwide demand for healthcare staff and material had shot up in the wake of the pandemic.

“I read today that the US had opened visas for health workers to assist them in handling the situation,” said the prime minister, noting that it was quite difficult to acquire a US visa in the past.

The prime minister lauded China for lending medical assistance and supplies to Pakistan to help curb the disease.

PM Imran also paid tribute to doctors, nurses and medical staff fighting on the frontlines in Pakistan.

He said that the government is constantly thinking about how best to facilitate them and the nation is standing firm behind them.

“Your protection is our number one priority,” he said, indirectly addressing the medical staff tending to coronavirus patients.

The prime minister expressed fear that the pandemic will peak in Pakistan, but no one knows at what rate.

He noted that Pakistan has had relatively fewer fatalities as compared to the ratio around the world.

The prime minister also regretted that the healthcare system in Pakistan has been neglected in the past 70 years.

As of Wednesday, the number of coronavirus patients across the country has crossed 2,000, with the death toll at 26.

PM's strategy against coronavirus

In an earlier address, PM Imran said the nation would battle the coronavirus with two key elements: faith and Pakistan's young population.

"We have to combat coronavirus and use these two strengths to win the war [against coronavirus]," he said.

The prime minister also announced a "Corona Tigers Relief Force" which would aid the administration and the armed forces in containing the virus.

He still spoke against a country-wide lockdown, despite reservations from opposition parties and his own provinces choosing to implement.

The prime minister said that 25% of Pakistan's population were the poor who couldn't afford two meals a day. He said that if the government was unable to look after the unemployed, then the lockdown will not be successful.

Aid from China

According to a Foreign Office spokesperson last week, a team of doctors from China arrived in Islamabad to help devise strategy for curbing the disease.

The Chinese government had provided 12,000 test kits, 300,000 masks, and 10,000 units of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to Pakistan, they said.

The spokesperson said that the Chinese government had also provided $4 million to build a separate hospital for coronavirus patients.

The FO said that the Xinjiang government had separately provided 50,000 masks to the Sindh government while aid from private means in China has also been received.

There were a few things which were a bit disturbing in IK's speech the other day, he said this COVID-19 is only affecting the elderly and that we can beat it by "youth" and "imaan" which again was a bit baffling.

IK needs to understand that this is NOT a virus which is only affecting the elderly but all age groups and people around the world are dying as even those with no underlying health issues have died due to it and even 12 and 13 year old's have died with no history of anything.

He needs to be assuring the people that they his government, army are doing everything in their power to try and tackle this and what the people should do to make sure they are safe etc;

We are in this together and for a PM to hold a brief/address the nation, needs to be reassuring that all the measures that can be taken to prevent, help in forms to battle this are being taken.

He probably meant that it's more dangerous for the elderly which is correct, could have been worded better.

Regardless, it's important for everyone in society to try and practice social distancing. Even if a young person may not be badly affected by it, they could pass it on to others like the elderly in their family.

Need to put more emphasis on such things.

He needs better people writing these for him or if he is doing it himself should be able to word it better and emphasis on the social distancing and not going out without any urgent need to do so.

Saying the right thing at this time is essential as there are millions in the country dying from hunger and no treatment or doctors.

 

[leg-side-flick]

Strange presser...

1) He is advocating against lockdown but has implemented it a few days back.

2) Strategy against Virus is based on Youth and Faith.... What strategy is this????

3) 25% Pakistani can't afford 2 meals a day... So is he planning to take off the lockdown and let them go to work


He doesn't seem to be too smart

Seriously man what is so wrong with Imran Khan. I know I should not be poking my nose in other countries affair but are you guys honestly happy with him? Taking continuous jibes at neighbouring PM on twitter, trolling in social media, making up mythical stories about how Indian players used to be scared of him etc etc is something a spokesperson (at max) of a party would do. Even member of Parliaments maintain more dignity and here he is the Prime Minister. Sometimes I wonder what is the difference between someone like Sambit Patra, Gautam Gambhir and him? All of them spends most of the time in twitter targetting neighbouring country's PM.

Rather than playing to the gallery by constantly targetting Modi, he would have got more applause had he saved those stranded students from Wuhan when they needed him most.

Since he became PM has he taken or even attempted to take any constructive step for betterment of Pakistan? Honest question.

Imran Khan, the cricket captain was such a fantastic leader. What is so wrong with as a PM?

 

[CanadianG00se]

Most of my family and friends in India totally agrees with the lockdown. It’s an unfortunate situation that the poor ones are suffering the most, but we are in a time where we have to chose the lesser of the evil. If PM Modi didn’t enforce strict lockdown then we may have seen US like surge in India or even worse.

Considering the number of BPL people we have, govt has done an excellent job in most states. There will be unfortunate events here and there but overall, the people at least have something to eat. Perhaps IK misjudged how Indians can step up in the time of need.

The problem is Imran Khan is obviously stating an obvious fact that lockdown will affect poor people. Totally agree, however there seems to be no plan of action in place to get around that.

Modi saying that there will be lockdown is not just a statement. There is a plan. There are zones assigned, security assigned to those zones as per the plan etc. Now people may agree or disagree with the way they are being implemented but they can have a view point because there is a tangible plan.

Indians have stepped up and I am sure even a lot of Pakistanis have been cooperating with their state governments or whatever but there seems no foolproof federal plan apart from raising funds.

If people have actual federal backed plan from IK on how to get around both the poor people who will suffer from hunger and unemployment and the rest who might be at risk from this pandemic, they are free to share.

Agreed. Problem is Imran is used to being a superstar, when he got on the pitch the opponents and his team mates held him in high esteem. He was above the law when he used to pick his team as per his own choice and for the most part it worked for him and he was good at it because he knew what he was doing.

Politics and diplomacy is a totally different ball game. There are a million ustaads in that area especially when you don’t come from that grass root levels of politics that guys like Modi have done.

I think he is not able to digest the fact that Modi doesn’t give him any bhau.

To be fair to Modi he is not doing it out of spite, as a leader of the world’s largest democracy he has a million things on his plate and now 2 times that given the current situation. He probably doesn’t have the time of the day to respond.

However where is Imran getting this time to troll Modi when the whole world is panicking and on top of that all the other crisis existing in Pakistan in terms of economy.

People cheering of how Imran is talking smack etc. need to know this means nothing when the person at the other end just doesn’t give a damn which doesn’t reflect back well.

Also serious question, there might be a situation where the entire subcontinent might have to work together and India being the biggest economy and also better equipped with medical resources and technology than its neighbors, why would you want to keep insulting the leader of that country?


There might be a situation where they might have to work together. This is beyond common sense.

TBH its not only Modi, no PM in the world would react to it. As I said in my previous post, taking constant dig at neighbouring PM on social media and trolling about 56" chest etc. is something you would think a spokesperson of a party or small MPs would do. This is not expected from Prime Minister of a country. Remember few days ago he retweeted a vice video of Subramaniyam Swamy even before it got broadcasted? He is the PM...just imagine.

Imran has lots of potential but he is not channelizing it in right direction. I am not saying this bcoz he is taking digs at Modi...I mean opposition people in India are abusing Modi everyday. But I genuinely want IK to do well for Pak's developement but unfortunately he got his priorities all wrong.

So let me understand what he is saying here.

Modi is a darpok because he initiated a lockdown after a lot of planning, discussion and analysis but Imran Khan is fighting like a cornered tiger here by caring for the poor people by mentioning them in every speech but without an actual template of how to work around this while his state governments are doing the exact opposite.

I doubt you have much knowledge about the local politics, state governments in Pakistan, etc., or indeed the measures taken by the federal government so I will avoid discussing that topic.

I didn't post the video because I thought much of it or for any favors. I think it was an unnecessary comment.

Regarding deleted posts, there's always some proper reason for deleting posts. This one didn't merit deletion.

Good day (or night).

 

[cricketjoshila]

Agreed. Problem is Imran is used to being a superstar, when he got on the pitch the opponents and his team mates held him in high esteem. He was above the law when he used to pick his team as per his own choice and for the most part it worked for him and he was good at it because he knew what he was doing.

Politics and diplomacy is a totally different ball game. There are a million ustaads in that area especially when you don’t come from that grass root levels of politics that guys like Modi have done.

I think he is not able to digest the fact that Modi doesn’t give him any bhau.

To be fair to Modi he is not doing it out of spite, as a leader of the world’s largest democracy he has a million things on his plate and now 2 times that given the current situation. He probably doesn’t have the time of the day to respond.

However where is Imran getting this time to troll Modi when the whole world is panicking and on top of that all the other crisis existing in Pakistan in terms of economy.

People cheering of how Imran is talking smack etc. need to know this means nothing when the person at the other end just doesn’t give a damn which doesn’t reflect back well.

Also serious question, there might be a situation where the entire subcontinent might have to work together and India being the biggest economy and also better equipped with medical resources and technology than its neighbors, why would you want to keep insulting the leader of that country?


There might be a situation where they might have to work together. This is beyond common sense.

And Imran Khan has knowledge about India?

And Imran Khan has knowledge about India?

I mean he doesn't need knowledge when he sees that people specifcly kashmiri's are suffering just because they are Muslims and results don't matter to me tbh because we should call b s for what it is

Atrocities shouldn't go unnoticed no matter the results as humans we should call out the racism, and xenophobic behavior of Indian gov

Kashmiris, a section of them tried an armed uprising against India, a terrorist secessionist movement, try it anywhere and it will be suppressed with an iron hand.

Leave Kashmir. I can understand why pak politicians raise it.

Imran thinks its his business to talk about Indias lockdown, Indian muslims, Indian politics. The man probably cant handle his own country properly and is talking about others.

Thing is, he has failed to attract Modis attention and has been ignored completely. What he says is of little significance and that has led to his frustrated twitter rants.

Btw racism and xenophobia is when you declare one religion as the religion of the state and make others second class.

 

[CanadianG00se]

Considering the number of BPL people we have, govt has done an excellent job in most states. There will be unfortunate events here and there but overall, the people at least have something to eat. Perhaps IK misjudged how Indians can step up in the time of need.

Honestly speaking, PMIK is just giving his weekly anti-Modi statement to keep his supporters happy. Now due to ongoing crisis globally, PMIK is failing to get any support on Kashmir anymore, thus he is giving his usual jabs at petty things that doesn’t even concern him or his country.

What Modi have done is absolutely fantastic, considering the size of population India has, it’s nothing sort of miracle. Imagine if lockdown was not enforced and people were going on about their usual life, we might have seen millions of people in India infected and thousands dead. Then, people all over the world including PMIK would’ve thrash Modi for not enforcing the lockdown. It’s a vicious circle where whatever Indian PM does, he will get criticized by some in order to keep their hate going.

 

[Abdullah719]

He is the PM, not a random poster on an online forum. He is free to talk about whatever he wants to, anyway. Though people are free to voice their disagreement, frustration, etc. as well; that's OK too.

 

[cricketjoshila]

He is the PM of pakistan, not India. He knows nothing about India and starts speaking about it. So ofcourse he will be called out for his stupidity.

There is a reason why he gets no attention from India and is reduced to twitter rants.

 

[kaayal]

He is the PM, not a random poster on an online forum. He is free to talk about whatever he wants to, anyway. Though people are free to voice their disagreement, frustration, etc. as well; that's OK too.

Considering he is the head of a country like Pakistan, he could have expressed his opinion without mocking the Indian PM. This was childish from Imran Khan.

 

[Bigboii]

Ik is sounding like an idiot he should stop with his constant blabbering about India and actually focus on economy but I think it's his responsibility to constantly talk about kashmir cause what is happening there is unfair and it our land suffering under foreighn occupation

But with Indian poor and their Muslims who cares it's not his job to care for tham

The last part was your opinion not facts on second class citizen comment

and regarding Kashmir these attrocities should never be justified for whatever reason cause that is basically saying they did it and that's why our wrong is right

Yeah. As I said above, it was an unnecessary comment.

IK isn't a career politician and he lacks diplomacy in such matters, unfortunately.

 

[Local.Dada]

OK.



Yeah. As I said above, it was an unnecessary comment.

IK isn't a career politician and he lacks diplomacy in such matters, unfortunately.

I don’t disagree with anything you said but don’t you think diplomacy is pretty much one of the most important job requirements of being a President/Prime Minister?

 

[Itachi]

He is free to talk whatever he wants.

But that doesn't mean his words are carrying more gravity than any other online posters in a random forum and that's the irony part. He is a prime minister of a country and hence he should talk as the leader of the nation and not just a regular poster in a forum.

It is already established by his tweets during the CAA protests how he was clueless about the demography of India, its integration and causes. How CAA support/opposition was driven by different factors in different states.

A point has reached where non PTI supporters were wishing IK to stop spending time in twitter writing about India and rather focus on development of Pakistan.

He's a regular person who gets angry, jealous, frustrated which is understandable. But as of now, he has been failed as a leader who even failed to integrate the provincial govt on a serious matter such as Covid19.

Imran is a superstar not was. He is more known than Modi and the last 5 Indian leaders put together.

Imran Khan is doing nothing different to other world leaders. Trump, Boris, Merkel and others constantly mention other nations esp neighbouring nations. It's a worldwide pandemic and Imran is right to speak not only about Pakistan but other nations who have a large percentage of poor people, India being the largest in the world.

India attacked Pakistan not the other way, remember? In return Imran showed great leadership, not making up dumb stories of clouds dettering radars and pretending his air force hit targets which is a blatant lie. After this he has a right to criticise Modi when he wants and how he wants. India cannot do anything to Pakistan which is smaller in every way apart from the courage in the hearts of the people.

Please dont think Modi is a greater leader or human being than Imran, its laughable.

 

[Local.Dada]

I can confidently say that the opposition parties in India hate Modi a lot more than the hate probably Imran gets from his opposition parties.

However when it comes to the lockdown strategy everyone is on the same page. Obviously they will criticize and point out the flaws in any implementation because that’s the point of a democracy. Most times it might be with malice and sometimes they are right because no one is 100% perfect. However the bigger picture is everyone agrees with the overall strategy.

Obviously I don’t understand the internal politics in Pakistan. However all I was asking is for all the talk I don’t see a template or a strategy to tackle this apart from collecting funds. Sure money is super important right now especially for Pakistan which is struggling economically. However my only question why are the state governments doing their own thing which is not at all in alignment with what Imran Khan is saying. I don’t need to do research clearly there is lockdown in Pakistan just like there is everywhere else in the world.

So yes people will question when he is pointing fingers and mocking others. If he had come up with a model template on how to lockdown while taking care of the poor trust me 90% of the world will emulate him and I will have no shame in admitting what a great leader Imran is like I have no problem admitting he was one of the greatest cricket captains of all time.

No leader has any such template, they are all guessing and hoping for the best. Reason is we still dont even know enough about this virus. Not sure why you want Imran to lead the world when you also say he isnt a good leader?

It is but it's not yours. You're confused.

Imran can say what he likes, no Indian can tell him not to or question him. He only answers to Pakistanis. Your PM attacked India, now IK and every Pakistani can attack India with words if they choose to. We dont want conflict but know how to deal with confilct under Imran, as you witnessed 12 months ago. Accept it and go watch Modis fashion now.

You may find yourself reported for using defamatory language towards the PM of Pakistan if you continue in this vein. Please show some consideration for your hosts on this site.

Imran Khan's influence is nowhere near Modis. Thats the fact. Its because of the countries they lead. Trump Putin and Xi are the most influential world leaders in the world simply because of the countries they lead. Then Nothing disrespectful, just the facts.

I would suggest otherwise, Imran is at least a 2 foot taller than Modi. Modi is regarded as an abomination to many Indians, they hate him with passion and so does much of the worlds population. Leaders deal with him because he is the Indian PM not because he is smart or charasmatic, a brick has more personality.

You can suggest anything, doesn't mean they are facts.

And you can rant as much about Modi, how does it affect him? Imran Khan tweets a lot about him, how does it matter to Modi?

Now since the debate on influence and power is settled, you have moved on to things like height and personality. Lol.


Trump doesnt have personality, he has power. Thats what matters.

Its not a rant, it's actually quite hillarious Indians have elected a man who believes clouds deter radars, openly lies to his people, ruining the economy and is sending the nation into a communal religous conflict. As a British Pakistani, I would like Modi to be PM for another decade.

India has little to no influence in reality. You are happy you have more than Pakistan lol. India has 6 times the population and much larger land mass. It should be embarrasing for all Indians to see you are cmoparing youself to a much smaller country while you have China next door who is in the UNSC and a much advanced nation with hundreds of millions less in poverty.

You guys need to up your ambitions, knocking down a mosque or two isn't an empire.

You are deflecting again. I have no problem with you presenting your 'facts', what I objected to was your unbecoming tone towards a Pakistani PM on this website which was totally uncalled for. When an Indian poster comes onto a Pakistani site and talks about IK's twitter rants, then you better believe your ranting will be pulled up.

Its unbecoming of a PM to rant on twitter about another country. When imran talks about India, Indians will comment on his rants.

As i said in another post, he has nothing to do with Indian Muslims or Indian politics or Indian lockdown, yet he makes it his job to talk about them.

 

[CanadianG00se]

He certainly does act like some random poster on social media. Spreading false information about India seems to be his favourite time pass.

Can you prove he was ranting on twitter? Please provide the quotes if you want to back up your claims and we can judge for ourselves whether he was ranting, or in fact you are.

This is a very simple exercise where everything will soon be made crystal clear if you can do this.
