PM Modi conferred with highest civilian award & Imran Khan driving Saudi Crown Prince

PM Modi awarded UAE honour, Imran Khan awarded 5-star Uber rating: Pak PM mocked for driving Saudi Prince

Prime Minister Narendra Modi was conferred with Order of Zayed, UAE's highest civilian award by Crown Prince Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan on Saturday. The award on PM Modi is being compared with the incident when Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan chauffeured for Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad Bin Salman when the latter visited the country.

While PM Modi was conferred with the UAE's highest civilian award on Saturday, the incident where Pakistani prime minister broke protocol and personally drove Mohammad Bin Salman in a Mercedes Benz to his official residence happened just after the Pulwama terror attack in February.

The February incident came to the fore yet again when a Pakistani MP brought it up in Parliament. She said that Prime Minister Imran Khan had promised to make Pakistan better than any other country but now, she said, "he has become a driver of the Uber company and asks for five-star on every ride".

As the Pakistani Parliamentarian's statement surfaced on social media, Twitterati started poking fun at Imran Khan for driving the crown prince by saying that while PM Modi got the highest civilian award, the Pak PM received the "best driver of UAE prince award".

Recently former Pakistan Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar had slammed Imran Khan for making Pakistan a global laughing stock with his knowledge of history and geography on World War II. Speaking in the Pakistan Parliament, Hina Rabbani Khar said that the prime minister completely distorted both history and geography.

"The PM went on at length to explain how Germany and Japan are neighbours and post World War II, in which they were in the same team, that's what history tells us and Japan is in East Asia and Germany is in Europe but the PM says that they are neighbours. PM says they were adversaries. He is our prime minister. You make Pakistan a global laughing stock," Hina Rabbani Khar said.
