Now that elections are right around the corner, all eyes are on the key players in the game and one of the most watched of these is, of course, Imran Khan.
Surprise surprise. However, with his most recent stunt, people are criticizing him more than ever.
After visiting a shrine with his wife, people all over Twitter are criticizing Imran Khan for his actions.
The images and videos of Imran and his wife Bushra Maneka started circulating after the couple went to the shrine of Sufi Saint Baba Farid Ganjshakar on Wednesday night.
As soon as people caught wind of the politician’s visit, it wasn’t long before videos of Imran allegedly ‘performing sajda’ before the shrine called for a national debate on social media.
Initially, everyone was trying to figure out if Imran was even bowing in the first place.
It wasn't a sajda, Imran Khan just kissed the floor of a shrine. In either case why does his religious beliefs bother you? What happened to faith is a personal matter arg which U've always used to make ur point against religious extremists? IK's RELIGION IS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS.

And those people who believed he was, were completely upset by Imran’s sajda, some even accusing him of ‘Shirk.’
This is the Islamic Republic of Pakistan where following a rewording of an oath the law minister had to step down & we saw a sit in turn violent. That was on the finality of the Prophet PBUH.
Can we allow the biggest sin of all Shirk? https://t.co/343iOEpcDR— Reham Khan (@RehamKhan1) June 28, 2018
Come on Mubashir! You know he would pretty much do a sajda anywhere if it guaranteed him a win. On a more serious note though, I just hope no one kills him for shirk or something. https://t.co/vpxNB7wrHw

Sajda is only for Allah and no body else, Imran Khan should know better.

Indeed, if he did sajda its shirk no question abt tht

Others believed it was no one’s business but his own.
Whatever Imran Khan did at the shrine is his personal matter. I'm only interested to know the reaction of his Taliban brethren on "SAJDA AT THE SHRINE"…
ab kiya isko bhi phaar dein ge🤔🤔

Sajda at shrine should also be none of your business
— RANA AFTAB (@JulyDecember7) June 28, 2018
Although I believe strictly in Sajda to only Allah. With @imrankhanPTI I have no religious link except he is a "Kalma Go". Right to judgement of his acts is prerogative of Allah. I will surely JUDGE IK's political views though. No compromise there.

And some users even believed that it was all under the influence of his wife/peerni.
Wese bushra bibi ko tu pata hona chahe sajda karna mana hai

Sajda at the shrine by @ImranKhanPTI is really very disturbing for me. I don’t know where bushra bb is taking him 😕
— Blue Heart 💙 (@No_Where_____) June 28, 2018
Astaghfirullah. Sajda is not allowed except to Allah (SWT ). Reham destroyed his dunya and Bushra will destroy his akhirah. Shirk in any form is not forgiven.

At the end of the day, no matter what you believe, it’s clear to see that every action of Imran Khan is being watched and being so that we are only weeks away from the election, it would be wise for Khan to be aware of what people are saying.
What do you think about the video circulating? What do you think of his actions? What people are saying? Let us know what you think in the comments below! Love you.
