Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) senior leader Ahsan Iqbal has likened Prime Minister Imran Khan to US President Donald Trump, saying like Trump, Imran was also a “polarising figure” in the politics.
In a tweet, Iqbal said it’s time to get rid of Imran Khan, whose politics is based on “hate” like his American counterpart. “Pakistan will unite again like it was in 2018,” he claimed, referring to the reign of the PML-N government.
The statement by the PML-N leader came amid reports of Democrat Joe Biden’s projected victory in the US elections. The Democrat nominee is in the clear lead, as he needs only 6 votes to win the polls.
Donald Trump has proved to be one of the most polarising presidents in the American history. Not only he played down the coronavirus pandemic in the country that has claimed over 200,000 lives, he has also refused to condemn the white supremacist groups, such as Proud Boys.
According to a USA Today report, “President Trump has undermined Black Lives Matter protesters, calling them ‘thugs’. He has made Asian-Americans the target of hate crimes, calling the deadly coronavirus the ‘Chinese virus’.”
It may be mentioned that an alliance of opposition parties against Imran government is in full swing. These parties have joined hands for oust the prime minister in the wake of inflation and other economic issues.
