Re: Charisma of Imran Khan

IK has what it takes to become a true leader
He has a really strong resume’ himself, with a long list of achievements.
I would hire him immediately :smiley:

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/pakistan/8970404/Imran-Khan-I-have-the-opposition-on-the-mat.-My-time-has-come.html
In an interview with the Daily Telegraph before the karachi jalsa he said that he had the opposition on the mat, and had them by the balls… I agree with him.

PPP and PML are now totally frustrated and my fear is for IK’s life, knowing the dirty and low life characters that have a strangle hold on Pakistan’s resources and would try the dirtiest tricks in their bags to make sure that no “outsider” takes them out or neuters them by crushing their balls … Way to go IK :k:

Re: Charisma of Imran Khan

http://edition.cnn.com/2011/12/25/world/asia/pakistan-khan/index.html?hpt=hp_t3Pakistani politician Khan gains momentum](http://edition.cnn.com/2011/12/25/world/asia/pakistan-khan/index.html?hpt=hp_t3)(CNN) --** Thousands of supporters rallied Sunday behind cricket star-turned-politician Imran Khan, who said he wanted to root out corruption and ensure rich and poor alike prosper in Pakistan.

**
The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (Movement for Justice) party rallied in Karachi, where Khan, 59, said he wanted to make economic and tax reforms.

Standing with him amid party banners and Pakistani flags were career politicians who recently switched to Khan’s party.

Speaking in cricket terms, Khan said, “One more wicket fell today – as Pakistan People’s Party member Sardar Assef Ahmed has joined the PTI.” Ahmed is a former minister of education.

Khan said if elected prime minister next year, he would bring a team that would help transform Pakistan into a welfare state and ensure equality.

“In Tehreek-e-Insaf’s rule, a civil system will be introduced which will ensure justice and equality is followed on all fronts – in which even Imran Khan’s car is stopped for speeding,” he told the crowd, promising corruption would be ended within 90 days of an election.

Khan also is an opponent of U.S. drone strikes in his country.

Khan, who led the country’s cricket team to the 1992 World Cup trophy, founded the Movement for Justice party in 1996 and served in parliament from 2002 to 2007. His party boycotted the 2008 elections.

The opposition politician also spoke of agricultural reforms, promising free seeds and discounted fertilizer for farmers.

Khan said a Chinese company wanted to bring a $19 billion dollar investment to Pakistan, but did not because of concerns over security.

Although he appears to be gaining traction, Khan’s party has seen little success in the past.

During previous parliamentary elections, Khan’s party failed to win any seats; many within the country have referred to him as a man who changes positions.

He has garnered support from his former wife, Jemima Khan, a British journalist.

Pakistan’s next national elections are in 2013.%between%

Re: Charisma of Imran Khan

Just wondering what you were doing in the "dirtiest politician of the world's" rally?

Watch out otherwise you might convert from 'acha' to one of us (ganday).

Re: Charisma of Imran Khan

32

Re: Charisma of Imran Khan

35

Re: Charisma of Imran Khan

Muqawwee and Waleed, yaar yay kis behas maiN par gaiy aap log. ZAB was a good politician in his own right.

But he is no more.

So lets move on and concentrate on today. Living in past in this specific case is not gonna help anyone.

Re: Charisma of Imran Khan

if making demigods and idols worthy of worship is allowed for dead people........bashing them should be equally allowed.

i don't ever see people complaining about bashing Zia, or Yahya or Hitler for that matter........

37

Re: Charisma of Imran Khan

That's why third grade leaders of his party on top slots of PTI.
Feel the difference

38

Re: Charisma of Imran Khan

Zardari hasn't joined PTI yet.......how can you say that??

Re: Charisma of Imran Khan

Yes agree that we should move on, but till date future hope is still limited to mere slogans. People need plans supported by actions and not just slogans after slogans.
