PM Khan becomes talk of the town after U-turn comments

Prime Minister Imran Khan on Friday while in a meeting with senior journalists commented that real leaders take U-turn all the time and that it was a sign of mature leadership to reverse course and change one’s stance on a said issue in light of changing circumstances.

Khan also said that had Hitler and Napoleon taken U-turn on during their military campaigns, they would not have met their demise.

Social media was quick to respond to Premiere’s comments with some in favor and many against the statement.

Fair enough. But I have a feeling the PM will take a u-turn on this statement as well. A u-turn on a statement about u-turns. That would be classic IK. pic.twitter.com/uhSnvJa49e

These constant u-turns are now more like a big roundabout.. Going in circles to nowhere. https://t.co/fIa1UErDp0

If you take u turn in court you can be disqualified and could face contempt proceeding.

It was not all bleak for PM, many came out to support the statement.

Continuing with a failed strategy in view of changing conditions and circumstances is lunacy.

یوٹرن واپس پلٹنے کو کہتے ہیں
ہمارے دین میں واپس پلٹنے والا “رجوع” کرنے والا ہے
واپس پلٹنا اچھا ہوتا ہے، بات پر جمے رہنا مناسب نہیں ہوتا
عمران خان @ImranKhanPTI نے یو ٹرن سے مراد رجوع کو لیا ہے اور صحیح مطلب اخذ کیا ہے ۔۔ ہر بڑا لیڈر اور انسان یوٹرن لیتا تھا اور لیتا رہے گا
