Imran Khan Talks Cricket, the Taliban and Being Ousted from Power | VWN Meets
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 бер 2023
- Pakistan is in the middle of political chaos - and one man is at the center of it all. Former Prime Minister Imran Khan was ousted last year in a no-confidence vote, but polls suggest he remains the country’s most popular political leader.
Within a year of being removed from office, 70-year-old Khan has survived an assassination attempt and faces dozens of new charges ranging from corruption, terrorism to sedition. The current government has branded the popular politician known for his philanthropy and cricket career as a "militant" and attempted to arrest him using excessive force, while tear gassing, attacking and arresting his supporters. Khan believes the charges against him are political persecution tactics meant to distract him from campaigning for elections due this year.
VICE World News’ Isobel Yeung sat down with Khan at his home in Lahore on March 6, 2023.

Dude didn't dodge questions at all and even went headfirst with quick concise answers even to the uncomfortable ones that questioned him.
All he did was go around the question, he didn’t directly answer them.
@@TheMutedVid only if you could have muted the voices in your head !!! 🤓
I bet the interviewer to be even able to try that out with other political or non political opponents of his. 😊
@@TheMutedVid Did you even LISTENED to what he said. Learn the LISTEN word first!
He's Imran Khan bro
A lot of what he said is true. Life in a third world country is completely different from the west. Some countries don’t have the privilege of having strong opinions
True so true. I have friends in third world. I make more money in one month than they do together in three. Of course in their country the money goes far enough but at the end of the day, they are playing on the same economic chessboard we are all playing on
As long as he does NOT have an orange taint!
What a lame take.. it’s like saying “the world is a dangerous place”… please… he dodged about the journalist, and then about the army
@@toasteddingus6925 @Gonzalo Carillo : The third and second worlds don't exist anymore. I think you mean "poor" or "developing" countries. The third world was a concept from the Capitalist-Communist-Nonaligned Cold war. Non-aligned nations were the 3rd world.
Ask Mr Trumpet of the US of A.
As a Canadian I can tell you this guy could run our country ten times better than our current prime minister
how do you know
because Trudu sucks@@A.A.
Because Trudeau🤣 @@A.A.
That’s not a very high bar tbh
He is truthful and honest.
I'm not Pakistani, but even I want to chant for Imran Khan 😂
very good to here this from your side, because as pakistani i know that this man is real leader
@@XDANAWAZ as an Indian I want Imran as the PM of Pakistan again😂
@@lamiazscales_eso Well he has stated multiple times, he doesnt war, he wants to improve relations with hindustan and has used indias economic and political policies as an example of how he wants Pakistan to go. He also wants to remove military influence from politics in the country.
@@Syzemic Your comment is haunting in lieu of today.
@@bayersbluebayoubioweapon8477 I hope the people of Pakistan can find peace and prosperity.
"Poor people doesn't have the luxury to criticise." this line sums up the condition all the devoloping world..
@@FranceGaulGallia agreed
Hypocrisy will shy away in front of Imran Khan.
He doesn't criticise because he care for Muslims, he criticizes, when he finds convenient.
A man who clearly lacks Principle.
He criticized French Government on Chalie Hebdo case, regularly criticised India, wasn't he a PM of a poor country then? He just find very inconvenient to criticize his master Chinese Government.
@@FranceGaulGallia Not the governments. What private citizens do, the governments can wash their hands of.
Having the ‘right’ to criticize doesn’t seem to do much good for poor people in the west either lol
That's in US also. For a poor person, It is true that many people who are facing criminal charges, particularly those who are unable to afford a good defense attorney, may feel pressured to plead guilty in order to avoid the potential consequences of going to trial and being found guilt.
It's refreshing to see someone in politics that seems like a human being and not a robot
This man is a Playboy and his dirty audio calls got leaked. Pakistan is a bankrupt country. It's economy got collapsed. Pakistanis are finding it hard to obtain basic survival commodities. The whole of Pakistan went dark without any electricity for a while. That's how much of a failed nation it is. It's a karma since Pakistan funds terrorism. They are the ones who protected Osama Bin Landen for your knowledge.
Imran Khan is arguably the best of the lot we have got
He has good PR. What is happening with the country doesn’t happen over the year. It was all doing of Imran. Any intelligent person can see this. This is all talks no show
@@ubermensch- I'm sorry, could you elaborate a bit? (I only have a vague understanding of what is happening there right now but I would like to get more perspective)
@@lostpelican1883 I'm also confused with what he was saying. The reason this is happening now is because of upcoming elections. The military is afraid to let him run because of the fact that he will sweep the polls, beyond even the ability for rigging to make any difference.
"If I wake up and there was no challenge for me, I will think its the end of my life" powerful message from Imran Khan.
As a Bangladeshi, I pray for the Pakistanis who deserve a better leader than corrupt generals who keep destroying this fragile nation.
No diplomatic answers, straight forward to the point answers, shot thrice, threatened, over 100 illegal court cases against him, he is still standing with pride. What a leader.
That's really the best reason for supporting him. I wish there was more I could do but at the moment, I can only pray for him.
147 and counting!
May Allah protect him, I hope he runs rings around them all, when comes in power later this year inshallah.
He has no road map, no vision, his regime corruption index is worst far, stopped trade with India and put his people in high inflation. As he discussed about what he will do once he is in power again? All he is been promoting Islam and pretending he is leader of ummah. What a leader ? Been Handsome is not a achievement, they couldn't make one bike 🚴 engine in 75 years. What a leader?
Enjoy !
Brother he is born for lead he is also world good cricketer he won world 🌎 cup cricket tournament for his country in 1992.
"Poor countries don't have the luxury to criticize. Unfortunately, rich countries are also selective."
This is one of the most honest and practically candid words I have heard from a leader of a nation. I would support Imran if I was an educated Pakistani.
So you're illiterate Pakistani?
Imran Khan while Pakistan prime minister could have remained silent on China's repression of Uyghurs (and ethnic Kazakhs, Kyrgyz, Xinjiang Hui, and Utsuls) if he thinks his hands are tied politically, but instead he went out of his way to openly endorse China's oppression of Muslims in June 2021.
Then in March 2022 Imran Khan made the absurd statement that "China follows the teachings of the Prophet [Muhammad]". The CCP which is an atheist regime that has persecuted Muslims for its entire existence, and which has only gotten several times worse under Xi Jinping, is apparently following the teachings of the Prophet!
And you wonder why he's been humiliated by Allah ever since. The guy is living through purgatory on earth right now because he isn't even fit for martyrdom.
Educated Pakistanis know he is an imposter. He has a long history. Of girlfriends,womanizing, illegitimate daughter, mistresses. He hasn't changed. He uses islam to get votes. But practices debauchery in private
Imran Khan called Osama Bin Laden a martyr in Pakistani Parliament and advocated for the Pakistani Taliban to have offices in Pakistan.
@@doomscroll8889 blah blah blah
As an Indian, I have seen the media portray him as a bad guy a lot but seems pretty genuine to me
yeah, terrorist sympathiser
He doesn't suit Indian establishment interests like nawaz shareef does
Of course India will look after its own interests. Use common sense
You’re just a gullible fool
@@hinakhan-gb1zl nawaz sharif was pro india? i wanna smoke whatever youre smoking. the pakistani establishment was never pro india. it enables and encourages the continued genocide of hindus in pakistan. pakistan is a puppet state of the west and inherently fascist and anti communist. and this guy is a right wing populist, just like modi.
I'm an indian and I thought he was an uneducated radical leader because of what indian media portrayed him as, but now I can say he's more educated and intellectual than most our leaders🙌🏼
He get education from oxforerd
@@TopMegaEdits yeah oxforderd haha
Lol look at their economy
Modi>>>>>>>>>
He has undergrad and masters from oxford.
He’s right, unfortunately. When you are a poor country you cannot speak up whenever you please. A developing country would be crushed if a world superpower, especially China, cut them off. You really have to take all the help you can get. I don’t agree with everything he said but I have a strong respect for this man for going into politics to fix his country.
He was prime minister until recently, he is the one to blame for problems lol
He is the problem
@@MrCharvik Well, i do believe he committed some mistakes during his rule...But you think at sub atomic level its the establishment that caused all this. You might call me brain washed but just look at history. Whenever a general retires he refuses to live in Pakistan shifts to 1st world country. The problem with my people is that they are confused on which part of the coin they want to be. Support the army or not,Be a Muslim or not (we are doing many things that goes against the teaching of Quran), Be capitalist or not etc. Then comes the damn short term policy makers.
Pakistan needs to crash down in order for it rebuilt there is no other way.
@@MrCharvik he was the pm without any powers anyone who understands pakistan politics knows who the real rulers are.
We all Pakistani stand with Imran khan our PM Imran khan
From listening to this video, Imran Khan sounds like a very pragmatic person. His answers were very concise and informative. I'm Armenian and I'm really interested in learning more about Pakistan's politics and history. Also, I hope once Pakistan's internal problems are resolved, Imran Khan can finally recognize my country and establish diplomatic relations. Our past President has also showed interest in developing diplomatic ties with Pakistan.
Just write imran khan he is backeds by whole pakistan now.
You can read his books as well they are in english.
Yes, hopefully my country does establish relations with Armenia....
If you want any help from Pakistan, you can ask me, I am Nouman from Lahore Pakistan.
unfortunately pakistan will not recognize Armenia because of Azerbaijan
This guy isn’t shy of deflecting Western ideologies for the sake of delivering to the people of his country, mad respect
We Are From Philippines. We Don't Know Much About Imran Khan But We Believe He Is Generous Man To his Nation. We Are Not Pakistani Nor Muslims But After Seeing Imran Khan Struggle For his Nations We Sure He Will Lead to His Nation And Country One Day. We Pray For His Success Lots Of Love ❤❤❤❤
yiou are pakistani
This man and his struggle deserve a lot more attention in the press. Perhaps the most underrated and underreported leader of our time, not because of Pakistan’s relevance at the global stage, but simply because of the integrity of his struggle, the principles for which he fights, and the mammoth obstacles (including the attempt on his life) against which he continues to push forward. God speed, Khan.
This man is a Playboy and his dirty audio calls got leaked. Pakistan is a bankrupt country. Pakistanis are finding it hard to obtain basic survival commodities.
Being a Pakistani i know these are the most difficult questions ever asked to him. Kudos to the interviewer. Khan responded very straightforwardly. This was one of the best interviews I had the privilege to watch
I was impressed by both straightforward questions of an interviewer and straightforward answers of Imran.
It's rare to see when both interviewer and politician are this honest.
@@AndriyAndriyAndriy I hope these aren't bot comments, because I actually do agree, he gave the best possible answers a politician could give.
@@zainm5919 im no bot and i very much agree top notch interveiw
@@leelowther7027 never know these days, usually comments sections are completely overrun by bots, they always sound so positive and generic I really can't tell😅
@@zainm5919 yeah aha litteraly EVERYWHERE lmao and yeah some of them are actually belivable not so much the one on gamers videos and such those are usually just "such and such is the best youtuber of 2023 " lol we real atleast 💪
He’s genuinely so well-spoken and collected. There haven’t been many politicians like this across the globe, let alone in Pakistan.
Imran Khan is the most popular leader Pakistan has ever witnessed. His popularity transcends all the sections of ethnic, social & religious classes. He is seen as a threat by the elite who has a stronghold over resources. We as a nation need to protect this man if we want to break the status quo & monopoly of a few powerful's.
Wow, he's earnt my respect. I had a rough idea that he was some extreme fanatic who ruled with an iron fist and a big red button, but clearly he is a caring and earnest leader. Imran Khan would have my vote! He didn't dodge a single question and his outlook on Afghanistan has provided me with a new perspective on how the world should react to the Taliban.
Imran Khan is the farthest thing from a fanatic! He is a truth-teller and compassionate
Wrong about the Taliban, if Western countries embrace and provide funds to their government, they will believe what they are doing is fine…
Khan is an interesting man, very charismatic and charming, a great speaker, but I’m not %100 convinced on him yet
Imran Khan called Osama Bin Laden a martyr in Pakistani Parliament and advocated for the Pakistani Taliban to have offices in Pakistan.
He also said women who dress in western clothes if they are attacked it’s not the men’s fault because men aren’t robots.
@doomscroll In the west, the word martyr is seen with a different lense. In Islam, anyone who died an unnatural death is called a martyr, regardless of whether he was a good personor a bad person, for that he will be judged on the judgment day. Just putting it out there so that you get the full picture of where he was coming from.
I think it's dangerous and kind of short-sighted to suggest there is "one" way to deal with the taliban. If anything, this interview suggests that each country has to make decisions differently (most especially if the taliban is in a neighboring country).
“if I don’t fight for my country, who will “ Pakistan needs to protect this man 👏
He got shot so hes not protected
We are, ever since he's had to stay in his home in Zaman Park on bail, everyone from across Pakistan has been standing in front of his home
Hell, the rangers even tried sieging his house 2 weeks ago at night, the people who were protecting his house fought back
Absolutely! He’s fighting for the poor ppl of Pak.
Instead, they don't shoot the greedy shits ruining their coubtry ,they try shoot him.
@@Zee_Sylvie he's creaming right now on the phone with ayla Malik 🤤🤤
I never heard imran khan speak before, he seems very respectable. This interview was simply fantastic
Can't ever thank the Alllah Almighty enough for such a blessing in the form of this man... Clear words, clear vision, delivered well in his tenure... I hopw he becomes our PM again... ❤❤
All the best for the people of Pakistan from Finland.
You can be easily brainwashed. It's even easy to brainwash you into believing nazism. This man is a Playboy and his dirty audio calls got leaked. Pakistan is a bankrupt country.

That's how much of a failed nation it is. It's a karma since Pakistan funds terrorism. They are the ones who protected Osama Bin Landen for your knowledge. Only fanatics find such a failed leader to be interesting. Minorities are treated poorly in Pakistan. Only muslims can "survive" in Pakistan. People who belong to any other religion will either get forcefully converted or get killed in Pakistan.
I would rather support Nazi
2 hypocrisy in this interview I wanna draw your attention
1. When khan said in USA no women is still a president , her question flipped with lighting speed , and all rights are wiped out
2. Ask about china but not vice master Israel
Over all her point is WEST is best and all are worst
Thanks and greetings
Thanks for your support
Dude.. this guy is outstanding. You can tell very clearly he’s not fake like the other politicians around the globe. He says it as it is, no going around it. Huge respect for this guy. 🇨🇦

@@maryamimran8428 true leader for what? His team can't run a single department . His performance is worse than any government in history
As an educated British Pakistani “Imran Khan is the best thing happened to Pakistani Govt” Stop the hate towards him and give him a chance rather than pointing finger at him join him to make the country better. Best of luck to the great Imran Khan🏆🙏🏽❤️💯🤲🏽 Inshallah ☝🏽☝🏽☝🏽

The more I listen to him the more I tend to like him.
I love how he said he would only hire based on merit instead of caving into the reporters questions
Im from switzerland and i think he is very right when he says that countries should keep out of other countries conflicts. He seems to be a truly great leader. Rare these men.

Goosebumps.
You're widow? I am ready to marry you ❤️
And then goes to sell the toshakhana gifts.
He is as corrupt as anybody. How he dodged media censorship questions by blaming military lol.
The man is Legend. Being Documented , interviewed since 1980's. Man does what he says , His biggest achievement is Cancer Hospital & research center where 70 % of the people get free treatment, paid by the people donations since 1996. Zero government support.
Never seen such lustrous career, from heart throb cricket captain to world champion, philanthropist, educationalist, motivational speaker, politician, Prime Minister. If he ask donations for natural calamity or Hospital, public welfare Pakistani around the world give away money like its paper. For Flood victims $20 million in one hour. Honest leader ❗️
First time listening to him, and I already love him.
He has a point, as a Filipino, from a developing country... We always get involve by games between Superpower like US and China... asking them to leave us alone didn't work, so our only option is that we have to choose, or be isolated and continue to be bullied and our economy will be in worst
And what's more, considering our location in the Pacific is a strategic one, Philippines as neutral country without picking both sides is not gonna happen
I think Phillipines should look towards china and not the US, because as a Pakistani I have seen what happens when you ignore your own region for the interests of those thousands of miles away....
Ah, I'm Filipino too, and sorry to break this to you, America left because we asked them to nicely. Then ISIS immediately came and wrecked havoc. China treats us like crap, crosses our borders in force and overfish our country. Yes, we often get pit between superpowers [WW2, of course], but let's not pretend it was a hard choice between who has and will treat us better.
In my opinion there are only a few things holding back developing countries like the Philippines. Corruption, education, and foreign investment projects. Corruption steals jobs. Education and investments give blue and white collar jobs.
That's where you're wrong buddy.We are from India and guess which side we chose when we were weak yess none and even today we have chosen none of sides and that led us to where we are today.We are 5th largest economy and one of the most important countries on the planet we buy Russian oil as much we want and America doesn't have balls to put sanctions on us since they can't afford to push a big country like India.Building strength takes time but you have to work on it.When you pick sides you already have defeated yourself in the long run.
So in the meantime, did young people want their mom to believe that they could intervene and ruin a [worthy and] innocent process put into place by "the biggest ones of us all (such as a big politician)" as a Test®️ Of Their Strength, or to be dependable as an integral part of a team of people who gets something done [because they're not making agreements with each other: they're just making agreements with their moms]?
I just turned 18 the previous month, My vote is for IMRAN KHAN .This is a leader born once in a century, I doubt we'll have another one like him. He is one of a kind and at the very very least, He is better than our current Prime Minister who can't even speak up properly. He can't make his points and neither can he align them to be understood. I'll choose Imran Khan a 100 times over the current options I have in the spectrum.
Maybe it’s better for you to give the country to India
He wont speák up thats why he was chosen😂
Lol
That’s the propaganda of Imran he has destroyed the country
@@leechee5721 Im from Bangladesh and I wanna tell him, dont make this garbage mistake.
India is a blackhole of incompetence and misery. Pakistan should stay independent, so should nepal and sri lanka, and kashmir and khalistan and assam.
Maybe balochistan too
It's so professional how facial expressions are captured and makes us think of what kind of mind state they are in.. these emotions show the true face of what the mind thinks
It's impossible to gauge his morality from this interview but there's no doubt he's very intelligent and seems well intentioned. I would definitely support him as it seems like he's genuinely trying to improve his country and that is so rare in a politician even in the western world
this was a great interview. This is probably the most well-spoken world leader I've heard in a while
He is also very honest and intelligent 🧠 and good human being
❤🇵🇰He has a vision. He doesn't belong to politics..he is a player of cricket and has won world cup. He came to this field of politics just for the people of Pakistan. He want to eliminate poverty in the country❤

Dear all Pakistanis,
No matter what, try to protect this man. He is not only a jewel for you, entire Muslim ummah now. We need him as well his service. Hopefully you understand his importance to you and to entire Muslim community. InshaaAllah, Imran khan will never let you down.
Love to pakistan 🇵🇰 and imran khan from tunisia 🇹🇳

What have we done ever to deserve this man. Absolute gem!
Lol he's a traitor who destroyed the Economy
The way he said “ if I leave who will fight for my country “ He is a Really sweet man He traveled from Karachi to Lahore just to meet a kid Ya Allah Give Imran Khan His Power.
Allah gave him power for 4 years as pm but all he did was destroy Pakistans economy. He is a traitor
I think he is one of the most honest guys. I didn't even know he was a babe magnet but obviously he doesn't care that glamour and put himself into danger. Why would he do that. The problem is I don't think he can do anything without compromising a lot to world's most powerful. But he was honest, also he cannot control a lot of things about arrests etc... dealing with army is gonna be at least a decade long challenge, if he can stay in power.
75% Pakistanis are supporting him. We consider him our mentor for life. He can easily enjoy life of top 1% elite of world but he choose to stay and fight for Pakistan. Long live Imran Khan

Not only that he publicly emphasized that regardless of what women wear, men who commit SA are the cause.
We need leaders like him in more powerful countries and we'll have world peace and development 🙌🏼💯

I have to say, Imran Khan's reasoning is actually spot on.
That's why the West scared of him. They don't want an educated, self made honest people's leader leading Pakistan.
Honestly , very well spoken

He is crystal clear in his mind while responding on rote issues, most western interviewers usually pose, for example, his not siding so called and selective western human rights activists and feminists who constantly question him about women's condition in Afghanistan, his Russia visit, less women in his cabinet, banning talk shows or arresting journalists etc. His responses are honest, practical and bold.

It's clear that they are doing this just to save the corrupt status quo because Imran's fight is against the status quo and for establishing rule of law. Long live Imran Khan thanks vice world for the interview ♥️
We Are With Our Best Bet...
Imran Khan...
This man is a Playboy and his dirty audio calls got leaked. Pakistan is a bankrupt country. Pakistanis are finding it hard to obtain basic survival commodities. The whole of Pakistan went dark without any electricity for a while. That's how much of a failed nation it is.
It's absolutely impressive to see someone, let alone politician, to be this genuine and sincere.
Wonderful Interview.
We are lucky to have an honest and brave leader like Imran khan Alhamdulillah ❤
@@maryamcoco3683 y did he lose the election then?
@@ezra6454 He didnt lose the election he won but was not able to complete his tenure due to vote of non confidence which was passed by the National Assembly of Pakistan
He's a liar. He's known for saying big thinks but never follows through
@@maryamcoco3683 what happened to the dam funds he collected? Answer me if you dare
14:13 SPOT ON REPLY BY THE MAN💯🙌🏼
There's not a single answer that you can hold against him. Each and every one of those is backed by sound logic. What a man. Born to be a leader
You know what, I wish we had politicians as frank and honest as Khan in the west. He seems one of the most genuine politicians I have ever heard interviewed.
the only problem with him is he just talks good he never applies those things and by chance if he apply he always take uturns from his point of views his view change time to time he never takes accountibility of is actions he just blames everyone.
interviews are designed that way
@@nomanbaladi3064 Man if you took a u turn after realizing your decision is not practical. Or its going wrong way. Than its better to correct it rather than enjoying your ego. Secondly in his 3years tenure there are many positives with negatives as well. The best I would like to mention is "Health card" providing free medical treatment over 1 Million Rs. That even not happening in most developed nations. So correct your facts and others as well. And everything didn't happen the way he planned or we thought. But we were in right direction. Secondly the current scenario had made us realize he was up against a lot of inner mafias. That are visible against him today. But as far as his honesty and intent is concerned we are sure it will be Pakistan not against it.
I think you may want to read a bit more about his tenure as the PM of Pakistan. just my advice before laying so much praise at his feet.
@@vladlock yes one should but from a neutral source which tells you the facts.
I am from India and i haven't heard him before this interview and my view changed for him. He is a hero.😎😎
@@doomscroll8889 Shutup BJP IT Cell bot.
@@doomscroll8889 yeah he's not exactly a good leader... Dunno why the comments are praising him.
Are you indian?
@@doomscroll8889 fake news. Send some proof
@@doomscroll8889 TUJE KONSA KERA KAATE JA RAHA HE PATWARI WALA KAT RAHA HE KYA?😂
What a fanstastic human being . The repoter was out to portray him negatively and he answered every point like a true wise man. What a legend
She underestimated his perpose yet she knows little to nothing about islams history and what he stands for its disgusting how she spoke to him. Dispicible
I'm impressed by him those were some really hard question to answer even our so called prime minister with 56 inch chest have no balls to give such interviews
In my opinion, he is really a super hero in Pakistan. Pakistani nations can be proud of him. Please continue to pursue freedom. Thanks
We are proud indeed. 85% of Pakistan supports him but unfortunately, the powerful mafia controls the media, institutions, courts and system. But we are near to putting an end to it following Imran Khan.
He is biased. He calls modiji nationalist and facist. Where as he supports ttp. What a hypocrite ?
@@gujarati16 his party is nothing like BJP neither 20% Pakistanis are Hindu
i think you need aspirin. even kindergartens student know this man named Imran are China buy product
Freedom? From who?
This is the first time I've heard an interview of a leader/opposition leader that I felt the guy truly knew what he was in for and what he was doing. And having lived in a developing country, I understand his frustration with the west demanding things from the developing world that those countries are not able to provide. I totally understand what he is saying about Afghanistan. True influence comes from partnership and trust, and the US has completely lost both of those with any party in Afghanistan. I really hope he success and is able to overcome his challenges, and I'm confident that he will be able to
It's true, no one can save Pakistan except this man🙌🏼
What a man, plain, simple, strong and to the point answers.
I am from Pakistan. The current conflict pains me but even once we are through it the outlook is terrible. Since independence, till today a big part of our GDP is spent on defence. We never invested in education, healthcare and human development. While other countries are worried about declining birth rate we have large growing population of untrained sick population. The country debt continues to grow. Its ironic that Pakistan is one of the largest importer of wheat from ukraine and the one of the largest buyer of apartments in dubai.
Props to Isobel and vice reporters for being so brave and covering stories in the part of world that are scary. Isobel went to afghanistan once taliban took over constantly met with glares since she was the only woman in the square with her face showing and the protest outside imran khan residence she went to even I wouldn't feel comfortable myself going to.
"Spent on defence"
I wonder if the army just took those money and not even upgrade the defence
The army is full of one demographic
The fact that the military has veto authority over the Prime Minister surprises me more. If there is corruption among the military's and elites as well, they are essentially above the law.
Lmao "spent on defence"? Or usurped by Generals and high ranking Pakistani Army officials to buy properties in various parts of globe? There's a reason why no one wants to give Pakistan any money bcoz everyone knows abt it's corrupt army except the Pakistani nationals!
Your country will not grow until govt control army not the other way around.... Even in dictatorship, his govt will control the army... I think only in Pakistan and Mayanmar army controls the govt
As a former US Marine who has deployed and lived in every continent and has learned to look at things through a non-Western POV, I can say I’m more inclined to agree with Imran Kahn. When will the west realise that you can’t tell other countries how to run their society. You can only truly be a feminist in a first world country where you have the luxury to think about all the little micro aggressions. Places like Pakistan and India have real problems that people like you or me can’t even imagine
@@Gtmz53fxt56zxc This whole interview boiled my blood because she acted no different than a child with her points.
Your words are true
I 100 percent agree with you.
When the rest of the world pretends it doesn’t want our police and subsidies
@@Nutella7721 She is western. They still see black and brown people as servants.
Imran Khan is an honest and brave leader. He truly cares for his country and his people. He has struggled for more than 26 years. He came from a middle class background and earned the respect not like his opponents who are using their family name and are part of a political dynasty. He taught us to stand up for our rights as citizens,he taught us to be brave in the face difficulty, he is not just a politician he is truly a Leader. We are blessed to have him as a leader Alhamdulillah ❤
This man proved himself to be very steadfast and upright and speaker of truth. Even 10 months before, he was sure that the crooks want him in jail so that he could not contest the elections. And he is still in jail and his party has not been given the level-playing field. Most of the members are being picked up by the police just after holding rallies and corner meetings in their respective constituencies. On the other hand, every other party has no problem up to this scale. It is more a mockeracy than a democracy in Pakistan. Polls are due on 8th February.
As an Indian I don't know whether imran Khan will be good for Pakistan or bad but one thing is for sure that he is the only leader in the history of Pakistan who can challenge the establishment and bring a new order
Very funny. Keep giving fuel to fire. We don't need meddlers in our country in the words of our leader IK
@@BroBytesBhai do you have food in Pakistan
@@BroBytesBhai If there is any politician who is not a puppet of Pakistan army it is Imran Khan today. The Pakistan army never let any Pakistani civilian government to complete their full 5 year term & I think that should ring a bell in your head.
@@BroBytesBhai we also want that IK to win the elections. First time in our history we are with you !
@abhayc576, do you guys have toilets....we agree that our condition is bad at the moment, but plz mind ur own business...
I liked this interview, it was direct, tough, but fair and Imran Khan had the chance to reply to everything Isobel said.
Is like president lula lie in name of power.
Will Imran khan talk to reporter from country who conspired against him?
The question who disturbe , because pakistan have partinership with Russia and china two countrys corrupt. Who persecution muslim people,in have concentration camps of reeducation.
@@floridahrrcn It was his country corrupt military generals who conspired against him, the Biden just didn't like him like he was in Russia when Putin started war, bad time at bad place and later he used this in his politics making him now the most popular leader in PAK
@@floridahrrcn he had.. Becky from CNN, VOA, and other media outlets around the world! Also, he had balls to demonstrate against Donald Lou on US national TV and asked for his upfront removal from foreign services...
Watching this interview again after everything that is happening in the last few days in Pakistan.. and the feeling is inspiration. Truly.
IF I WAKE UP AND THERE IS NO CHALLENGE IN MY LIFE. IT'S THE END OF MY LIFE! Such a great man with great words. (IMRAN KHAN)
Im an American white woman but I have to say I've never heard a Pakistani man speak so much common sense. I'm not sure I agree with all he says, but the idea of countries keeping to themselves, the obvious care he has for his country. He's an interesting person, worth listening too. Great interview.
pakistan helped hiding osoma while america giving them 1.3 billion per year aid to find osama . lol
@@Mclovin96X america created bin Laden, and the Taliban in the 80s. Go read.
@@Mclovin96X Indians scam billions of peoples each year with their social security, tax, IT scams. They steal American jobs The US should stop accept Indians into the US
The enphasis on pakistani sure tells a lot about you, lady...
You can be easily brainwashed. It's even easy to brainwash you into believing nazism. This man is a Playboy and his dirty audio calls got leaked. Pakistan is a bankrupt country. It's economy got collapsed. Pakistanis are finding it hard to obtain basic survival commodities. The whole of Pakistan went dark without any electricity for a while. That's how much of a failed nation it is. It's a karma since Pakistan funds terrorism. They are the ones who protected Osama Bin Landen for your knowledge. Only fanatics find such a failed leader to be interesting. Minorities are treated poorly in Pakistan. Only muslims can "survive" in Pakistan. People who belong to any other religion will either get forcefully converted or get killed in Pakistan.
Don’t lose this man, Pakistan.
noted!
He's cringe like trump
Never insh Allah
Seeing Pakistan's track record I can say that they will end up losing him and Pakistan will delve into chaos
@@sazidafnan5015 astaghfirullah
I think he is the only Pak politician I have seen openly calling out the Pak Generals on their chokehold and corruption of power in Pakistan to the extent they would put the Sharifs , who have literally robbed their people of billions of dollars over the years.
I’m from India and i feel that our freedoms are steadily getting squeezed towards less democracy. Though Pakistan seems in the doldrums now, the mass awakening of political consciousness is just electric. so incredible and inspiring to see. democracy is in the mind and you guys are already there. ❤
It's such a breath of fresh air to see someone actually answer the same REPETITIVE WESTERN NARROW-MINDED questions with calm and clarity.
These guys don't understand that if their rules for women is different than ours then it doesn't mean our rules are wrong
The women in Pakistan have no problem living here, Neither are they forced to wear hijab,nor are they not allowed to go to jobs or school
I personally live in Pakistan and I know what I am talking about
yeh broo. I fall from sky when she started hew Qs from Taliban to women representatives. SHes too dumbminded
“If I woke up and found out there was no challenge in my life, I would think it was the end of my life”
Loved this line!
It is so quintessentially Imran Khan.. this statement.
@@Thothali sounded like tate right there
@@freedomworld2012 Probably the other way round. Tate wasn’t yet born when IK was rousing his teams with similar statements.
I have never heard a person in politics speak so much facts cant argue with that 😅
Being a Bharatiya, i am an ardent follower of Mr.Handsome Khan,he is the real deal for Pakistan. He is the only ray of hope ,Pakistan has left. #Ptizondabad#handsomekhan#imranpakistan
long life to Imran khan supporting from Somalia 🇸🇴
❤❤❤
10:29 I've always LOVED Isobel Yeung. She's an inspiration but this is the first time I see her say something illogical, or maybe the video was merely edited that way, idk. Imran never said the Taliban _aren't_ committing human rights abuses but Isobel goes on to say "But, human rights _are_ suffering," as if he said they were. He's saying to treat the Taliban as if they were mainstream (i.e., with some level of respect) so that they can be influenced! That made so much sense, but it seems like the West and their woke bubble don't wanna hear that stuff. Listen to the guy!
Yes ur right... we know imran khan from our childhoods and listen to his speeches with great interest and fervour. We also feel that sometimes he should have said that or frame and answer like that but we know he is a genuine person and homest at heart, not at all diplomatic. He is not even diplomatic where there is a need for diplomacy. We all consider and look upto him as a father figure we genuinely feel and know that he is a great supporter of education and women rights but being a poor country there is so much poverty and injustice going on that one's first priority is that people dont die of poverty or starvation. The other things would come afterwards.
They dont coz they were badly fucked up by taliban. 😂
Remember that this is a heavily edited interview, and that such interviews are pieces of theatre. And to VICE's and Yeung's credit, they did not edit his words in such a way as to make him look bad. Instead they let his character shine through, perhaps using pressing questions as a way to establish good contrast so that we might sympathize with him more.
The USA takes gays as role models and shows porn to little kids veiled as seed (cannot show on tv). I wouldn't listen too much to the USA when their morals are abhorrent.
Wait, wait. Back up a second. Lord have mercy, did I just witness a journalist truly own up to their title? I didn't realise how sick and exhausted I was at these makeshift journalists asking questions that were asked a million times to the interviewee until I had the privilege to watch this absolute masterpiece. Imran Khan aside for a moment, Isabelle, I hope that's how it's spelt, slayed into the room, asked questions so deep and original, even I feared a little for her. Kudos and much, much appreciation to this brave young lady! But we're talking about Imran, the most honest and down-to-earth politician in aeons. He never backs down from challenges and questions. I had one question in my mind for a long time, "Why aren't Muslim leaders condemning China?" And Imran answered so honestly and beautifully. It's true that 'third world' countries are always at the risk of danger. Protect Imran Khan, Pakistani people. You won't get another like him in 100 years and by the Grace and mercy of Allah, may Imran Khan be victorious.
The piece looks good overall but a few observations:
1: Imran Khan has a huge female support and party workers but it seems quite deliberate that VICE chose to start the video as if it was some misogynist male dominated group. I couldn't see the female representation in the video and since the platform has a global reach, it does give a negative vibe.
2: The reporter insinuates that there was no *evidence* that suggests that ruling party was behind it. Clearly, VICE has not followed the developments and the cover up that took place right after the attack. Not even an FIR has been registered because there was the name of ISI's officials and the ruling party's interior minister. Also, it would've been great if the current government's attitude towards media was given a space in the video. One of the most popular investigative journalist, Arshad Sharif was butchered in Kenya as he ran away from the country after facing humiliation by the government agencies. Who was he criticising? VICE fails to mention.
3: The voiceover stretches the answers of Imran Khan by adding additional information like 'sees himself as champion of women's rights' which he clearly did not say.
While adding creative music does elevate the videos of VICE (and I love them), this piece is more like a balancing act. The voiceover has information that deviates from what is being said in the video, maybe because the pre-determined answer did not meet the expectations.
Say what you will, but damn, he is so inspiring. He exhumes such confidence, I have never seen anyone else like him. Constant threat to his life, already shot three times, and says he is "enjoying" this fight. The guy has balls of steel!
Really he is rare leader in the world.
Superb interview by the interviewer and the interviewee. I appreciate the work Isobele is doing around the world with Vice. Vice has found a genuine reporter; tough, thorough and fair.
Imran khan is last prophet sent by ALLAH. Prophet Imran will save the world. Like my message and show how much you love new Prophet.
Is vise news from the country who “conspired” against Imran khan and ousted him.
She's always been a great and fair reporter ..I love her
I also, agree
Can't agree. She was forcing her feminist thoughts to get approved by Imran khan, even if he didn’t want to. Imran wanted to forget about his cricket life, but she keep dragging the topic in conversation again and again. She was bit coercive and compelling
This guy is legit story-type level leader. I really really hope that he gains power.
The kind of leader this world needs 🙌🏻
It's so difficult to find this type of leader. A true one
Yes! But we found it now! That is only only KHAN❤
lol def not, if he was, pakistan army wouldn’t be running terrorist training camp so casually and openly across the country
@@alienated9341 Indians are actually brainwashed yall saying the same dumbshit
Haha, the ignorance of common people is alarming.
@@TravisBickle58 fact
First time ever in Pakistan history the power houses don’t know what to do with this man! That’s how amazingly he played the cards, Pakistan is a country where getting rid of someone is not hard at all no matter how high profile you are!
Lots of respect for all the struggle he has gone through.. we need Imran Khan to lead the country out of this troubled situation
Love to read the good thoughts of people for my Leader ❤🇵🇰
From India i pray to God to help the country in whatever problems they are facing🙏🏻
