Comparing himself with Adolf Hitler and Napoleon Bonaparte, Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan has said that he is smarter than the Nazi and Fascist leaders. Khan’s statement came after he was criticised for constant U-turns on several issues.
“Adolf Hitler and Napoleon Bonaparte would not have suffered losses in wars in Russia if they had taken U-turns. Leaders should always be ready to take U-turns according to the requirement of their duties and best interests of the nation. One who doesn’t take decisions according to the demand of the situation is not a true leader,”
Critics in Pakistan have attacked Prime Minister Khan for backing out from most of his pre-election political positions and promises made to the country.
Reacting to the prime minister’s remark, a senior Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) leader said that Khan has proved that he wants to be a dictator like Hitler.
“Hitler was a dictator. By giving his example, Khan has proved that he is inspired by Hitler and wants to be a dictator like him,” the report quoted PPP leader Syed Khurshed Shah as saying.
