New Delhi, October 3: Former India opener Virender Sehwag on Thursday slammed Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan following his recent speech at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA).

"You sound like a welder from the Bronx, says the anchor. After the pathetic speech in the UN a few days ago , this man seems to be inventing new ways to humiliate himself," Sehwag tweeted. Imran Khan Goofs Up During UNGA Speech, Netizens Troll Pakistan PM on Twitter For 'President' Modi, 'Check on Google' Remarks and Exceeding Time Limit.

Speaking at the UNGA on September 27, the Pakistan Prime Minister had hinted at a conventional war between the two nuclear-armed neighbours if things spin out of control. He also spoke about the radicalisation of Muslims in India and around the world.

"If a conventional war starts between the two countries, anything could happen. A country seven times smaller than its neighbour what will it do -- either surrender or fight for its freedom," he had said.

Sehwag's former teammates Harbhajan Singh and Mohammad Shami have also taken digs at the Pakistan PM.
