I had heard and known of I.Khan for decades, basically as a cricketer and kind of a playboy before becoming a politician. But I did not know if he was a bowler or batsman until I read this piece. Further, while there are some similarities between our Jerk-in-Chief and IK, the major differences are on two counts, their looks and intelligence. IK outsmarts the Donald on both counts; except on the appearance of their contemporary wives. Pakistan's is a sad legacy and history of a failed and archaic state. I am rooting for I.Khan to help mend it to some extent. Modi Sahb should hold his hand and see what happens. aa49https://www.blogger.com/profile/01834885852835131863noreply@blogger.com
