The Prime Minister’s plea to curb the surge of Islamophobia also resonated with many.

One has to admit that not just PTI supporters but even his critics were willing to put political differences aside to appreciate Khan’s speech.

The country’s intelligentsia, journalist community and celebrities also took to the micro-blogging site to laud Khan’s address to the United Nations.

Whether to condone or to criticize the Pakistani Prime Minister, millions of tweets from scores of countries were sent out on Friday, making him one of the most talked about world leaders at this year’s global meet.
