Giant shark washed ashore due to Imran Khan’s speech:report

A giant whale shark washed ashore near Karachi fisheries harbor in Karachi, Pakistan on February 7 might have been driven off course by a speech given by Tehreek-e-Insaf chief Imran Khan at a local rally.

According to reports coming in from Karachi, a preliminary investigation by the Sindh Wildlife Department has found that a speech given by Imran Khan on a jetty in Karachi harbour impacted the whale shark adversely and reset its marine navigation mechanism leading to the animal heading to the shore, instead of sea.

The ill-fated whale shark

“Our investigation has found that the animal was affected by a rally organized by Imran Khan where he had spoken for over 5 hours and given advice to everyone from Zardari to the Dalai Lama. It seems that the whale shark that was swimming in the vicinity, heard the speech and got disoriented. We feel that this speech is responsible for the animal washing up ashore. We are holding another investigation at this point of time. I will speak to you bloggers once that is done and we are certain about the results,” said Sindh Wildlife Department deputy head Ghulam Mohammad.

A Tehreek-e-Insaf spokesperson defended his party chief and said that all allegations were false, concocted and untrue. “Our party chief had only spoken for 4 hours, not 5 as claimed and further, he had only given advice to 300 people and not 450 as claimed. He had already given unsolicited advice to over 150 people earlier in the day in a televised interview and so the day’s advice quota was already over. These allegations are completely baseless and the product of a 250 kb RAM imagination. Besides, how can an animal be influenced by his speech,when people only are not influenced” the spokesperson asked.

Meanwhile 4 other people who had attended the same rally and fainted were discharged from the state hospital in Karachi yesterday. The men in their early 20s were said to be in a state of shock after being subjected to over 4 hours of constant advice and nagging by the former Pakistani cricketer.
