Khan continued with his diatribe — making it apparent who he was addressing and yet without naming anyone — and said:

“Don’t treat us like animals, that you first call them robbers and then impose them on us, and tell us bhair bakrian (sheep) that now move in this direction.

“You first tell us the Nawaz Sharif was a robber and now he is clean. Previously Zardari was ‘Mister 10 per cent’ in the world and but now since ‘we have decided, you also accept him’.”

He exclaimed again “we are not bhair bakrian” and that “you are standing with them today”.
