Re: Hidden powers back in the game
Its Imran Khan himself who has raised the bar. He has been portraying himself different from the lot hence deserves a chance. Thats another thing that his recent antics has placed him in the same category.
And likes of you want to crucify him for that? That is indeed his biggest crime. You have no problem with likes of Zardari, Nawaz Sharif, Altaf and Mullahs for keeping the bar so low and actually doing worse than what is expected of them, but somehow Imran deserves a death by thousands cuts for not performing the miracles of exodus? Raising the bar in a country like Pakistan in itself is an accomplishment. The ideas and expectations are all out there and being talked about by young generation. The fact that in we have a clear tension between good and bad in the country signals the remarkable awakening of the middle class, who is suggesting that goal has been achieved? But the journey has sure started. Imran may not even not be there when the dream of 'Naya Pakistan' actually translates into reality. At the end of the day, it is all about Pakistan.

In fact Imran khan was looking towards the army in initial days, maybe he was misguided by his friends. Forgotten the Umpire's fingers already? He has only helped the army wrest the foreign and interior affairs from the federal government. In politics the real thing is timing, and IK has time again shown incompetence in making the best of a scenario.

Typical blame Imran for guiding and controlling the Armed forces. We have heard all this hore**** about Imran being the biggest hurdle and the ultimate controller of Army's every policy which consequently stopped them from conducting the FATA operation. But in actual fact, it is Army's own spokesperson who busted this pathetically incredulous myth by revealing that actually it was the ex COAS who couldn't be bothered to launch an operation. You want to beat around the bush and chastise Imran for exposing government's utter weakness, rotten and undignified stature, exploding unpopularity and sheer incompetency which enabled Army to get the upper hand, but at the same time, you don't seem to critique why it took majority government just over an year to become this disgraced and rejected? Or are we suddenly in love with Zardari's politics of friendly opposition and policies of muk mukka in the name of keeping a 'united and happy front against the army?
There is no doubt that Imran had the government pissing in its pants and on their knees with his initial Third Umpire threats, and that was the time where he could've got all his demands instantly approved. That's something PTI needs to acknowledge and review, and in fact, use this to make Imran accept and regret his blunder.

What opposition? harping around day in day out about the previous elections is opposition? how many times has he held the government responsible for matters concerning the common man? how many rallies against terrorism, load shedding, inflation etc?
[/QUOTE]
You do have any idea what you are talking about? Do you want me to link his speeches for four months of dharna to debunk your frustrated ignorance about how none of those issues were highlighted. In fact, some of his biggest haters criticised Imran for turning an electoral rigging movement into anti corruption, nepotism, corruption, politicised bureaucracy and police campaign. Just ask the people who are liking your liking your anti IK tirade at the moment. For a person who admitted that he hasn't watched any of Imran's dharna speech, I don't know how seriously I should take your claim.
How can you cry about Army Chief taking control over politics matters, weakening democracy but at the same show such insensitivity towards electoral rigging? Do you know we have issues of colossal debt, inflation, shut industries, industrial scale organised corruption, lack of justice and opportunities because criminals and mafias have always managed to find their ways into the corridors of power through electoral rigging. For those who know a thing or two about their country, electoral rigging had always been a burning issue from the times of Fatima Jinnah to 90s (and no, Imran was not around that time!!!). The issue of unresolved electoral rigging had always plagued civilian governments in Pakistan, and proved to be one the main reasons behind military's obvious distrust and disrespect towards their 'mandate'. It is absolutely shameless to think that the state of Pakistan and the common man doesn't suffer when criminals steal their votes to clench power.
But tell me, who is going to protest against electoral rigging in Pakistan if not the opposition parties? Amreekans? Russians? Or Saudies? I reckon you must be so pleased with the fact how and each and every single party including the ruling party admitted rigging, but none asked for any accountability and reform. But once again, Imran is at the fault for turning this issue into a full fledged campaign.

How many bills has he tabled in the national assembly?
[/QUOTE]
Oh, okay. So it's all about 'tabling the bills', han? Tell you what, MQM has supposedly tabled 40 bills in the Assembly since the formation of the new government, let me know if you can name just three of those bills and tell me how much media attention it attracted, and whether it evoked any interest in you and the genera public. Please also tell me if any of those bills were thoroughly discussed and passed through in the Assembly. Honestly, enough of this gimmicky rhetoric that go back to assemblies and bring 'revolution' from within, and first prove that this strategy actually works.
[QUOTE]
More than anything he has proved that he is no different than the Sharifs or Zardaris. He has provided them with a lease of life and turned himself into nothing more than hot air.
[/QUOTE]
You perhaps don't know enough about Zardari and Sharifs. Unless you can prove that he has set up industries in Pakistan, has hundreds of corruption charges against him, has palaces and business in five different countries because as far as Zardari is concerned, even he had said Imran cannot be as good as them because they build Bilawal Houses to show political maturity, and this sportsman builds cancer hospitals to prove how naive he is.
This is neither first time and nor the last time you have went into wrist slitting mode and started throwing toys out of your pram because you are bitterly disappointed over how Imran - in plain old cricketing words - has thrown his wicket away at crucial time after building a crucial inning. You've done that far too many times. It is almost an episodic thing now. But self proclaimed 'sideliners' like you who like to chuck in the in threats like how they are so hurt by learning Imran is actually a powerless human bound to experience failures and trials, thus won't vote next time, needs to get this thing drilled into their head - you are not doing any charity to Pakistan or PTI by getting up from your couches to cast your vote. Don't want to vote, don't vote. Don't want to vote PTI, fine. Plenty of other supposedly better options are available. If nothing else, waste another generation, and wait for yet anther messiah to save Pakistan.
