However, others commented on social media that it is not important who said it, but what was said.

Rabindranath Tagore was one of the most famous literary icons in the Indian sub-continent of Bengali heritage.
Tagore was awarded Nobel Prize in Literature "because of his profoundly sensitive, fresh and beautiful verse, by which, with consummate skill, he has made his poetic thought, expressed in his own English words, a part of the literature of the West," according to Nobel Prize website.
Who is Khalil Gibran?
Khalil Gibran was a novelist, artist, and poet and known for his book, ‘The Prophet.’ He wrote both in English and Arabic.

This is not the first time PM Khan has used quotes.
