In a conversation with Yuvaa, Imran Khan said criticising a political official is not criticising the country. He stressed that politicians are public servants and argued that structures of authority must remain open to questioning and be changed when unjust.

Actor Imran Khan has spoken about the distinction between criticising a political leader and criticising a country, stressing that questioning those in positions of authority should not be viewed as an attack on the nation. In a conversation with Yuvaa, the actor reacted to the question on hatred and politics that often leads to violence when called out.
“Important to note here that a critique of a political official is not a critique of a country. In case it needs to be said, no politician is the country,” Khan said. He had earlier voiced his opinion during student protest too.
