A powerful country like Russia is invading a small country like Ukraine, young people in Sri Lanka are on the street, fighting, and the leaders of that country have gone underground. In the neighboring country of Pakistan where you and my brothers live, a man took over the reins of the Prime Minister, tried to show the country one direction, but he was ousted from power and now a different picture is visible there. The Nationalist Congress chief was referring to Imran Khan, who was ousted as prime minister by the United Opposition on April 9 through a no-confidence motion moved in the National Assembly of Pakistan.
