In a viral clip-on social media, Imran Khan can be heard saying, "If a donkey is streaked, it doesn't turn into a zebra. A donkey is always a donkey."

Actually, in the video, Imran Khan is talking about the days of his life when he was in Britain and still could not mix in the society there.

This clip is part of a recent Pakistani podcast show, in which Imran Khan was invited as a guest.

In the viral video, Imran Khan says, "I was also a part of that society. Big welcome too. The British accept very few people inside the society like this, but I never considered it my home. Because I was Pakistani. Whatever I do, I cannot become an Englishman. If you put ridges on a donkey, it does not become a zebra. That donkey remains a donkey."

Imran Khan trolled on internet

Pakistani users are sharing this statement of Imran Khan a lot on the internet. The video is being shared a lot in India too.

Sharing this video, Pakistani journalist Hasan Zaidi wrote, "Without comment."


Geo News journalist Murtaza Ali Shah also tweeted this video and wrote, "Donkeys pretending to be zebras can never become zebras: Imran Khan."

 

What is Imran Khan saying?

After watching the full podcast show, it becomes clear that Imran Khan is actually talking about Overseas Pakistanis i.e. Pakistanis settled abroad and how Pakistan's talent is going out.

During the show, podcast host Junaid Akram is telling Imran Khan that a child from Quetta was so impressed after watching one of his videos that today he has become Roger Federer's physique. That child says that he had nothing in Pakistan. He wants to come back to the country and do something, but where should he go?

Junaid, while taking a jibe at the increasing number of Pakistanis abroad, says that perhaps Pakistan has made this policy that more and more people should be sent abroad and they send money from there, so that the country can run.
