Former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan's PTI Party became a butt of jokes on social media after members shared an old video of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.The video was intended to represent a PTI attack on the current Shehbaz Sharif government over his country's economic turmoil, but many netizens quickly pointed out that it was from a rally in the Barmer district of Rajasthan state during Modi's 2019 national election campaign - when Khan himself was in power in Islamabad.The Indian leader's video has been used extensively to try to mock the Sharif-led administration by politicians belonging to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI), including Azam Khan Swati, a senior member of the cricketer-turned-politician's party.In a tweet that featured Modi's footage, Khan Swati pressed for a change in Pakistan's government before declaring that the Sharif-led regime should feel embarrassed with the current situation prevailing in the country.Among the ones who looked at the funny side of PTI workers sharing PM Modi's video was Pakistani journalist Naila Inayat."The funniest part, PTI sharing this to tell current govt, look what Modi is saying about you. While the clip is from April 2019 when Imran Khan was in government," she wrote on Twitter."Modi says all that to win elections! Looks like Imran Khan now wants Modi's speeches to win elections," another added.The use of Prime Minister Modi's clip by Khan's party comes amid an escalating economic crisis in Pakistan. Pakistan's forex reserves shrank to their lowest level since February 2014 on January 6. At $4.34 billion, Islamabad lacks even enough to sustain a month's imports.Since the financial crisis soured, Sharif has reached out to Saudi Arabia and UAE, with Middle Eastern nations agreeing to a $4 billion economic package to avert Pakistan from sovereign default. Pakistani authorities are also negotiating with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for the disbursal of $1.1 billion that was originally scheduled to be released in November 2022.

Imran Khan's Party Ridiculed for Sharing Old Clip of PM Modi
The video — which shows Indian PM Modi slamming Islamabad's economic policy — is actually from 2019 when Khan himself was in office.
Former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan's PTI Party became a butt of jokes on social media after members shared an old video of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The video was intended to represent a PTI attack on the current Shehbaz Sharif government over his country's economic turmoil, but many netizens quickly pointed out that it was from a rally in the Barmer district of Rajasthan state during Modi's 2019 national election campaign - when Khan himself was in power in Islamabad.
In the viral clip, Prime Minister Modi can be heard saying: "We destroyed Pakistan's arrogance, forced them to go around the globe with a begging bowl."
The Indian leader's video has been used extensively to try to mock the Sharif-led administration by politicians belonging to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI), including Azam Khan Swati, a senior member of the cricketer-turned-politician's party.
In a tweet that featured Modi's footage, Khan Swati pressed for a change in Pakistan's government before declaring that the Sharif-led regime should feel embarrassed with the current situation prevailing in the country.
Among the ones who looked at the funny side of PTI workers sharing PM Modi's video was Pakistani journalist Naila Inayat.
"The funniest part, PTI sharing this to tell current govt, look what Modi is saying about you. While the clip is from April 2019 when Imran Khan was in government," she wrote on Twitter.
"Modi says all that to win elections! Looks like Imran Khan now wants Modi's speeches to win elections," another added.
The use of Prime Minister Modi's clip by Khan's party comes amid an escalating economic crisis in Pakistan.
Pakistan's forex reserves shrank to their lowest level since February 2014 on January 6. At $4.34 billion, Islamabad lacks even enough to sustain a month's imports.
Since the financial crisis soured, Sharif has reached out to Saudi Arabia and UAE, with Middle Eastern nations agreeing to a $4 billion economic package to avert Pakistan from sovereign default.
