Imran Khan cluelessly welcomes students back a day before Pak schools open; covers tracks

Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan on Monday committed a blunder after he tweeted welcoming students back to school, a day before schools reopen in Pakistan. 

"Today we welcome millions of children back to school," he said at roughly 8 am on Monday morning. "It is our priority and collective responsibility to ensure that every child can go to school safely to learn. We have worked to ensure that school operations are aligned with public health safety rules on COVID19," he added. 

An hour later he took down the tweet and put out a new one saying, "Tomorrow we welcome millions of children back to school." Imran Khan also removed the 'SafeAtSchool' hashtag from his new tweet.
