Prime Minister Imran Khan in an unusual Instagram post shared a scene from the Bollywood movie likening it to the conspiracy by the opposition against his government.
In a now-deleted post, Khan tried to tell his followers how the corrupt mafia is conspiring to fail his government. “It is what has been planned against the PTI govt from day one by the corrupt mafias,” wrote PM Imran Khan in the captions of the video.
He, however, took down the video due to unknown reasons. Perhaps it seemed bizarre on part of the premier.

The clip was taken from the old Bollywood movie, ‘Inqilab’ released in 1984 which showed a meeting of the political party conspiring to destabilize the government.
Actor Kader Khan can be seen in the clip. During his address to the party workers in the clip, he said: “Nowhere in the Geeta or Ramayana (religious texts) is it written that the government which has been in power for years should continue to remain. We, too, have every right to form a government, and we will do so no matter what!” he vows.
He added that the party has to win the elections at any cost and this is possible only through winning the trust of the people with a signature villain laugh in the old Bollywood movies.
“And to win the people’s trust, we will have to remove the people’s trust from the government,” Kader Khan says.
Kader Khan said that this could be achieved by making people believe that the government is “incompetent and dysfunctional”. Hence, “fear, restlessness, and crime” should be created in every province and town.
His party members agree to ‘step out and ‘bad mouth’ the government. “We will then tell them that if there is someone who can save the people, it is us and a government under us,” said Kader Khan in the clip.

The politicians also discussed how they will expand their fortune with politics. The video was intended to target his opponent that had gathered under the umbrella of the Pakistan Democratic Movement to destabilize his government.
