Twitter reacts as Imran applauds Bilawal's 'prime minister-select' quip

Bilawal delivered a speech loaded with accusations of rigged elections

Bilawal Bhutto referred to Imran Khan as “prime minister-select,” undermining the legitimacy of Khan’s premiership, during his speech in the National Assembly on Friday.

"I’d like to thank and congratulate the prime minister-select and wish him good luck," said the PPP chairman as he concluded his maiden NA speech. Imran Khan and Shah Mehmood Qureshi were seen applauding in response, the comment sailing smoothly over their heads.



People shared their reactions to the gaffe on Twitter.

Bilawal ended his speech by calling IK PM select, IK whispered thanks and applauded lol
He's too old to get the jokes of young @BBhuttoZardari 😂🙈

Bilawal said “I would like to congratulate the PM-select” and Imran Khan starts banging the table 😂 Completely missed the “select” jibe.
