When Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan paid homage to martyrs in his speech in September 2018, the general public and Twitterati were quick to point out how he had done so without any prompt or parchi as opposed to the former premier Nawaz Sharif.
#PMImranKhan on #DefenceDay addressing the nation with no parchi while bringing a smile to everyone’s faces ?

The speech we’ve all been waiting for from our Prime Minister … For me it was the best in the world because it came right from the heart … NO PARCHI NEEDED … #DefenceAndMartyrsDay #PMImranKhan

A few months later, the PM has been caught with a parchi in his hand during his meeting with Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani at the Diwan-e-Amiri in Doha.
Interestingly, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and its supporters were always quick to point out how former premier Nawaz Sharif “did not know how to talk to leaders without help”.
It is to be seen how the general public would react to this new development.
