Mohammed Shahid | 6 years ago | Reply I don't understand the problems Indians have with Imran Khan. Calling him with names really ashamed me of being an Indian. I don't think Imran is interested in disputes or engaging in useless dialogue with the ruling hypocrite party BJP. And the blind "bhakt" are a new sense to the world in general who are bringing shame for the country. Imran is good for Pakistan and will prove that he is good friend of India.
