Pakistan PM Imran Khan received a lot of criticism over his speech at the UNGA in New York on September 27. Former Indian skipper Sourav Ganguly called his speech 'rubbish' and also stated that this is not the cricketer Imran Khan that the world knew of. Former Indian Opener Virender Sehwag labelled Imran Khan's speech in the UNGA as 'pathetic' and said that Imran Khan was always finding ways to humiliate himself. The attack on the Pakistani PM comes after his address at the UN where he attempted to colour India's image in the global circle but failed to win over any support.
