Khan has been under severe attack from different quarters, ever since he has given a speech at the 74th session of the UNGA. Former India skipper Sourav Ganguly had recently labelled PM Khan’s address as "rubbish," and derided this is not the cricketer the world knew of. PM Modi, on the other hand, in his UNGA speech talked about India's growth and how the country has developed under his leadership. Imran Khan’s speech was mainly centred around Kashmir and the abrogation of Article 370.
