Bilawal shares video of PM’s faux pas in response to his Urdu gaffe

PPP chairman tweets a short video clip which includes many mistakes in Urdu by Premier Imran himself

Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari on Monday responded to Prime Minister Imran Khan's criticism on his Urdu gaffe in a hilarious way via a short video clip.

The video, which included many mistakes in the Urdu language of the premier in the recent past, was shared on Bilawal's official Twitter handle with the caption "PM teaching me Urdu".

Last week, PM Imran, while addressing party workers and supporters at the Governor’s House during his daylong visit to Karachi, mocked Bilawal's Urdu language skills.

The prime minister had said that former president Asif Ali Zardari should teach his son, at least, how to speak correct Urdu. “Even an Englishman learns to speak Urdu in two years,” he added.

Sindh Information and Labour Minister Saeed Ghani, while responding to the prime minister's criticism, said that PM Imran himself had little knowledge of the national language and makes foot-in-mouth statements about misplaced geography.

This is not the first time PM Imran has mocked Bilawal over his language skills. In 2019, at the inaugural ceremony of the Havelian-Mansehra section of the Hazara motorway at Havelian, the premier mocked Bilawal's statement on rains and flooding, mimicking the PPP chairman to say “when it rains, water pours down. When it rains more, more water pours down.”

This is very disturbing to see the Prime Minister of Pakistan acting like a Comedian where he is trying to mimic Bilawal Bhutto in a public gathering. When will he understand that he needs to act according to the designation he is holding since a year? #ImranKhan pic.twitter.com/Tcv5WVcyCE

“Bilawal claims to be a liberal; in fact, he is nothing but liberally corrupt," he had said.

In response, the PPP chairman tweeted: “I am neither liberal nor corrupt or a hypocrite. I am progressive and I have an ideology. I’ve been in politics for one year; you are 70 years old who has been doing ‘selected’ politics for 20 years. If you have any identity, it is of taking U-turns, of being a hypocrite and a puppet.”
