i just heard him yesterday, although he is against operation but he is not against facing the animals.
what he said was i would have not let it get to that level in the first place and to have a final resolution we need to stop drone attacks and US occupation in afghanistan which is fair assessment, by the way he has been to all the tribal agencies.
although i personally dont agree with him on this one as even before 9/11 or US occupationof afghanistan we had different kinds of monster which was sectarian and bombings of mosques were rampant and in todays scenario monster has mutated and is in different shape.
and every one know lashkare jhangvi was supported by taliban and their ideology was consistent with the then taliban in afghanistan.
so i do agree with the imran partially that this monster cant be eliminated unless US occupies afghanistan and at the same time i dont have any answer as well for the situation where we wouldnt have gone into waziristan and US decided to withdraw…
although i have disagreements with the imran but i would still vote for him, he has a point although its different than mine but atleast it is independent view and i have no doubts about his integrity.
as for his politics i think he needs to be a bit accommodating and flexible as he cant get everything solely on his own terms but should be flexible dont compromise on his core beliefs but flexible enough to let others adjust with him to attract new people, candidates for elections etc.
in my opinion he is our last hope and there is another party which can get us out of this messy, cold, feudal kind of politics is MQM but very unfortunately they havent been able to distance themselves from the past based on ordinary pakistanis perception after some time they get themselves on wrong side of histroy, after all the good work in musharrafs era in the end we had May 12th.
being a resident of sindh i can safely they MQM is much better than PPP even for ordinary sindhi speaking rural peasant.
so my vote in coming election would be either imran khan or MQM(subject to they keep themselves away from petty controversies).
some of you who had been following me on GS may be surprised about my changed view and i would give reasons when specific topic appears.
