Amid the mounting political crisis, Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan addressed the nation on Thursday night and said, using a cricket analogy, that he would keep playing till the last ball. However, it was the number of times that the former cricketer said main, mujhe and mera that caught the attention of citizens online. Sharing a montage of the Pakistani leader from his 45-minutes speech on Twitter, a renowned journalist, Hamid Mir, poked fun at Khan. With a text overlay, Mir counted every time the prime minister uttered the words "I", "me" and "myself". Khan was speaking from his office when he mentioned the words in a live, televised address ahead of Sunday's no-confidence vote debate in Parliament. میں ، مجھے ، میرا ۔۔۔۔۔ pic.twitter.com/RL81ZvNODh — Hamid Mir (@HamidMirPAK) April 1, 2022 Later, Geo News reported that the prime minister kept repeating the words and mentioned himself 213 times in total. Soon, the clip went viral and people slammed Khan for being a “narcissist”. Some even thought it was hilarious that someone counted the words in the first place and quipped it could be a drinking game. However, there were also others who defended the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf leader and said he was just trying to make his point.
