Replying to the Tweet, the 54-year-old wrote:
I’m sure CS [Coke Studio] is being planned but not by me.. SM [social media] is a great place to figure out if one is neutral or biased in any way. I’m using it as a tool to measure my own imbalances. Seems to be working well for me.

Two days prior to this, Rohail also claimed that Imran Khan is the only person he considers to be his leader.
In my lifetime I have only had the privilege of calling one person my leader. This person is Imran Khan. Honestly outweighs everything else IMO. Setbacks aside, I am certain he will succeed in his mission IA.
