The leader, who was in Shah Kot on Wednesday, drove out the stuck tractor with help from another driver while jubilant supporters clapped to the beat of a dhol. As Imran drove over a chunk of mud, some supporters danced to the drum beat and showered the vehicle with rose petals.
However, Imran then made the mistake of holding on to the tractor’s silencer as he stepped down from the vehicle. The silencer, which was hot, burnt his hand and Imran could be seen shaking his hand in pain.

Imran Khan has my vote no matter what. Since the 70s people have been voting for PPP, PMLs etc etc. The corrupt leaders are getting richer and richer and more and more people have started dying of hunger. TIME FOR CHANGE IS NOW AND MY VOTE IS FOR IK.
I can almost see tears in eyes of IK fans.
He should made Labour Party or Something like farmer's party! this an old publicity stunt..!
LOL i just can't stop laughing at ''he can't handle a tractor , how he will run a country''type of comments . God i can't believe how stupid some ppl can be . anyways . . . My vote is for this IK , i don't care if he can operate a tractor or not or if he's bieng supported by ISI or as Fazlu bhai puts it ''yahood o nasara'' ka agent .
@Pragmatist: "A future PM doesn’t even know where to put his hands and where he shouldn’t?" Dude go and check YouTube for Yousuf Raza Gilani's hands or check out where Waheeda Shah puts her hands, before making such nonsensical statements. We all make mistakes and hurt ourselves, don't tell me you've never fallen down or hurt yourself by mistake. This is life and people make mistakes all the time. Give Imran Khan a break, live and let live.
He has the courage to be among common people and spend time with them the way they do. He gives live interviews in news studios unlike Nawaz, Shahbaz, Zaradari, Fazul and Asfand Yar, who give recorded interviews in the comfort of their palaces.
Go Imran Go
All the best to Khan Sb. He is such a nice leader. Take care Khan Sb as we want you in the PM office
Great leader
And a leader with such strong-senses who didn't know that car/tractor exhaust could burn the hand... he wishes to run a country of 180 million people. Senseless!
that is why they say..... "Jis ka kaam, usi ko sanjhay"
love u Khan...
what's heroic about it? it was all a publicity stunt
@Amjad: Sure, if you can garner enough people to beat the drum and play music, any politician will do ANYTHING.
Can the symphathize/ supporters of immu bhai explain me what is patriotic about Imran Khan in this video?
LOL wats next he rides on a BMX bicycle
Kindly keep me updated about his bowel movements as well.
Stupidity or Heroic?
Sounds funny when ppl say this is hardly a news cause ppl Yearn to listen about him, we loce you IK
good God what are we, pakistanis, up to? everyone is speaking about him burning his hand and calling him stupid and absent minded and no body is saying he had the courage and guts to do it. will Mr. Zardari or Mr. Nawaz Sharif or even an ordinary MPA do it? ask yourselves this question. he can win his OWN seat any day any election but he is concentrating on PTI and the bigger cause that is Pakistan.
i wish we wake up and think positive. i seriously pray we wake up and that day be the next election day.. Amin
A guy who cannot even get a tractor started in a agricultural country like Pakistan is dreaming of becoming PM...how crazy is that?
What would you call a guy who does not know that exhaust pipes are hot?
Oops, yeh to 'hand' ho gaya :p
Shabaash media, this was the standard by which you look for news.
my leader......................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111 Love u IK
He could pull out every single tractor in the fields but still wont win the rural vote bank
What is the big deal... It looks like a good way to attract PTI fans
Was this a staged stunt to show that he was an Aam Admi person? No wonder Khan Sahib got his hand burnt. Now, if he was seen milking a cow for a farmer, then I'd swing all my weight behind him.
@some one Because he is not anyone, he is Imran Khan
Good! A real leader needs to do things like these. How many of us have stopped to help a rickshaw which has broken down?
And agree that this is hardly news...
Shouldn't this be headline news? A future PM doesn't even know where to put his hands and where he shouldn't? Not very promising.
My God this tractor is old...lol
why is this a news? we expect better from you ET.
aww,, sad.
@Bataan: Yes, he will be as destrucutive as ZAB.
I mean, creepy as it may sound, but i feel his pain :/
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww ! :')
Who cares?
I wonder if Nawaz Sharif can try to get a tractor out like an ordinary man ? Ohhh ... wait, if Nawaz Sharif sits on a tractor then getting it out will need Pakistan Air Force rolls his eyes
The similar pain he feels for his nation. THAT'S THE DIFFERENCE we are talking about :)
With the rose petals added in that scenario is hilarious. I'm not talking about the hand burning part. Even if injuries can be funny, that one doesn't have much to it. The rest is funny though.
Imran Khan, we know you're awesome. Take care of yourself.
and its a story? seriously ET; since when did you guys become Jang Akhbar ?
Imran is becoming the new Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto
My Leader...
I have made the same mistake twice with a motorbike! and it doesnt feel nice. He would have his hand in bandages now for a couple of weeks
the true leader.
ouch!... at least he got the tractor out!
This guy is amazing so down to earth and so much love for nation. IK is the last hope
wow Imran is learning politics :-) my vote is for you dude
Expected from a guy who's spend most of his young age driving Mercedes :)
this could happen to anyone. why is this even news? next news will be Imran Khan sneezed during a speech...
