Last night, Imran Khan took time out to formally address the nation since after taking oath as the Prime Minister of the country. In the address, which went over an hour, he talked about issues ranging from taxes, corruption, and judiciary to child abuse, rights of minorities and public parks.
And honestly, he won everyone’s heart with his attention to every single matter, no matter how big or small.
Truth be told; no PM in recent history has addressed the nation like this- starting from Madina ending on kindness. From education to pedophilism to corruption to foreign policy to climate change to water deficiency. He didn’t miss a single topic. More power to you!!#PMIKADRESS

Shortly after the speech, Imran Khan’s official Facebook page released the handwritten notes that he allegedly took before the address.
Prime Minister's handwritten notes for his Maiden address to the Nation, the honesty and clarity of thought that cannot be put into words by any speechwriter #PMIK
Gepostet von Imran Khan (official) am Sonntag, 19. August 2018
The notes start off by thanking all the party workers for standing by his side since the beginning and outline the problems to be addressed.
And then go on to outline all that is needed to be done in the coming times.
They’re pretty comprehensive.
And that’s not it, people noticed during the address how the Prime Minister used recycled paper to jot his notes down on.

People have since then been in an awe of the sheer dedication and commitment that Khan put in his address and can’t help but commend his vision and determination.
The awaam is taking to Twitter to appreciate Khan for the same.
This Imran Khan talking to the nation, looking once in a while at the speaking notes made on recycled pages, is the Prime Minister who will change Pakistan.
This is not a dream of a PTI voter who supports no matter what but the certainty of a rational Pakistani. pic.twitter.com/6Yz3op9or2

The recycled paper has hit all the right notes!
Note that #Pakistani PM #ImranKhan is re-using paper…There's perhaps a printed paper on whose other side he is carrying his talking points. Also, instead of teleprompter there's a brain-prompter. He clearly knows his way points. Bravo 🙂

“Straight from the heart”
Successful people are different people. This guy is just different. Uses notes & not written speech. Uses a recycled/used paper. Is transparent about issues yet inspiring people that we can change & will.Straight from the heart.@ImranKhanPTI @PTIofficial

People have been comparing Khan’s address to that of the previous leaders.
Still remember the day when inept Nawaz Sharif read off loose slips to greet Obama.
And Imran Khan can give an extempore speech on hand written notes. That's called leadership. #ImranKhanSpeech pic.twitter.com/nAAVjGYxkt

However, there are a few who believe that the notes aren’t real and that Imran Khan’s real handwriting isn’t the same. In fact, tweets have been popping up saying the notes belong to other people.
For instance, this Twitter user did some digging.
This is Imran Khan's original handwriting and it doesn't match the one you shared pic.twitter.com/NTvHv5Fe07

And this Twitter user wasn’t sure about the notes either…
Are you sure these are from @ImranKhanPTI @PTIofficial I have heard these notes are written by PTV World Anchor Umer Butt for Anchors or discussion.

Thus, screenshots were shared.

But people aren’t really buying it.
yeah Umer Butt must specialise in KPK reforms and how to implement them on the rest of the country … also how the brain of an impoverished kid looks like vs a normal one … surely standard notes a PTV anchor would probably right … great point thx for sharing

Despite everything, it is absolutely amazing for all Pakistanis to see how there’s finally an official who tends to care about the details, and they hope it brings betterment throughout the nation and beyond.
What do you think about Khan’s handwritten notes? Also, are they real or fake? Let us know in the comments!
