Prime minister Imran khan vs Prime minister Nawaz Sharif.
Answers
Answer:
Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan’s meditations on the problem of Islamophobia during his widely hailed recent speech at the 2019 UNGA, centered otherwise on the Kashmir crisis and tragedy, have generated varied and competing reactions. For instance, in their analysis of the speech, international journalists Aya Batrawy and Ted Anthony highlighted and praised Imran’s ability to “bridge the East and the West” by explaining the menace of Islamophobia through references to recognizable fragments of Western popular culture like the films by the Monty Python group and Charles Bronson’s Death Wish.
In Pakistan, most editorials and opinion essays in major English newspapers downplayed or even critiqued the Islamophobia segment of his speech as an unnecessarily volatile distraction [from the main issue of Kashmir] that might rub Western audiences the wrong way, ironically confirming in the process Imran’s own critique of the cultural and religious insecurities of a certain segment of the Pakistani liberal secular elite. On the other hand, and in stark contrast, conservative and many wannabe pietistic commentators have heralded Imran’s attention to Islamophobia on the global stage as a valiant defense of prophetic honor on hostile Western turf. However, these conflicting responses miss some of the most important and politically productive implications and outcomes of the way the Prime Minister presented and engaged the topic of Islamophobia at UNGA. In this brief essay, I wish to highlight a few such implications and outcomes.

Born on December 25, 1949 in Lahore, Nawaz Sharif is the eldest son to Mr and Mrs Muhammad Sharif. His father was a wealthy industrialist and had founded the Ittefaq and Sharif Group.
“The Sharif family is a patriarchal and conservative family. They came to industry in the 1930s, at a time when hardly a few Muslim families had a name in the industry,” says senior analyst Nusrat Javed.
“They became futuristic because they came into the steel business. There was one other group, Batala Engineering Company (BECO), and then them [the Sharifs]. Their story is pretty much one of rags to riches… six or seven brothers who came from Jati Umra to Lahore rose because of sheer hard work."
"By the time 1947 happened, they became prominent. As far as old Lahore is concerned, even in 1947, they were a recognised rich family who were considered industrialists.”
Nawaz attended Saint Anthony’s High School for his early schooling before enrolling in Government College Lahore and subsequently obtaining his Law Degree from the Punjab University.
"He doesn’t have great friendships from school days. They are from a mohalla called Ram Galla in the Circular Road area," says Javed.
"Close to Partition, the family moved to Model Town. He mostly mingled with the neighbourhood boys rather than the boys from his school. His hobbies were cricket, watching films and then driving. In Government College Lahore, he was friends with Khawaja Asif but not many of his good friendships are from school."
"This ties into the patriarchal family set up, as you become friends with people living close to you and your family. Being friends with school boys, skipping class and these riots would not be possible in the presence of Mian Sharif.”
