ISLAMABAD - Some journalists made fun of Prime Minister Imran Khan’s mispronunciation of the word roohaniat (spiritualism).

Khan while addressing the inauguration of the Al-Qadir University in Sohawa on Sunday was seen struggling with the correct pronunciation of the Urdu word.

The News journalist Umer Cheema, in a tweet in Urdu, maintained that it is a cruelty to burden somebody more than his mind can take.

Murtaza Solangi, a former head of Radio Pakistan, maintained: “From Aitchison to Oxford, Mr. Khan maintained his brilliance, intellect, and eloquence. It oozes out in this clip.”

Talat Aslam, Senior Editor of The News, asked: “Does anyone remember this starlet from the 80s and 90s called Roohani Bano?”

Filmmaker and journalist Hasan Zaidi replied: “Yes. Wasn’t Imran Khan rather fond of her?”
