From monthly book recommendations to endorsing his favourite television shows or his speeches, Prime Minister Imran Khan is no stranger to sharing insights with Pakistan's youth.

In fact, they're often his target audience in his speeches and tweets.

The premier is currently spending time in isolation after contracting the coronavirus along with the First Lady and has once again taken to Twitter to write a message for the country's youth.

"Do not sell your soul in exchange of anything. This is the only thing you have brought into this world and the only thing you can take back," he quoted Rumi.

"A truly free, liberated and rich human being is one whose soul is priceless — beyond any material price. Dedicated to the youth of Pakistan," he added.

The prime minister is known to be a Rumi lover and has often shared his quotes before.

He previously encouraged the public to read The Forty Rules of Love — a novel that narrates the tales of Maulana Jalal-Ud-Din (Rumi) and his companion Shams Tabrizi.

"I read it a few years back and was deeply inspired," he had said, hoping young people could take something from it too.

100% true. But I think he shouldn't be saying this. Why, you ask? Well look at what he claimed before 2018 elections and what he's doing now. Scrub that, just compare what he has said vs did during his time in govt, Sahiwal incident, assassination of Sami ul Haq, the list goes on and on... Even the local PTI supporters have started questioning him, but of course there are some who are looking forward to buying 1 litre of petrol for Rs. 500.

PM Imran Khan was born and raised in my ancestral city of Lahore. Lahore and its soul have been systematically buried under stinking and toxic filth and garbage!!! Our consciousness determines our Being!!!

Whatever his gifts and shortcomings at least he reads books. Unlike two previous rulers who hadn't touch a book after 12th grade syllabus.

"Do not sell your soul in exchange of anything. This is the only thing you have brought into this world and the only thing you can take back," he quoted Rumi Someone read this to Modi, slowly, in urdu.
