“I was a part of that [British] society, I was welcomed as well. But I never considered it my home. I am a Pakistani. No matter what I do, I can’t become an Englishman. If you paint stripes on a donkey, it doesn’t become a zebra. A donkey remains a donkey,” Imran Khan told the hosts.

His comment brought a deluge of reactions on Twitter with many users poking fun at the ousted Pak PM. Though some said that there was nothing extraordinary in his statement but lot many users trolled him for ‘belittling’ the country & countrymen with donkey remark.
