Re: Hidden powers back in the game
Ali yaar, ignore the gloom and doom. Yes I know its rough in Pakistan and it will be rough for a longer time, but you know what? This is good. I have always stated that IK is just like any other politician, that he is a selfish, self centered ******* who only cares for power. And you know what? That is good. Why?
Because he is hot on NS's tail. He is constantly criticizing him, which makes him insecure and unable to hold on tightly to his raja ways. This is good for the country. Yes we have no power, yes we have no gas, but the fact that IK has galvanised the public and constantly biting at his heels is a good thing. It forces the PML (N) to strive to do better.
Tell me this had this been Pakistan in the 90s do you think NS would have cared to cancel his davos trip? Not in a million years. He would have gone just as Zardari did during the floods. But with a constant critic like IK ready to pounce on any mistake, it makes PML (N) very very nervous and that is good for democracy and good for the country.
We have massive mismanagement problems but think of it this way compared to 15 years ago we are doing better. Better in the sense that people know their rights, the media has made sure to make every issue a big one. I forsee this getting worse but it will get better because people are less willing to put up with bull****.
Basically Ali you need to realize everybody who enters politics does so because they have ego, money and a desire to be powerful. They don't do it out any sense of charity certainly not in Pakistan. Accept that they will take their cut of the pie and if they do some good along the way we will benefit but for now accept that things will get worse. In 3 years during the next elections we will see changes by then because now the electorate is unwilling to back idiots in power again and again.
Also just like how the PTI has opened a third front I forsee a 4th party coming into play in the next 5 to 7 years. And smaller parties will play a bigger role in Pakistan. There is hope, these are teething pains that many countries have faced in the past and we are facing now.
IK is selfish and hungry for power? Yes sure that's why he decided to stay in Pakistan ending his marriage, sacrificed his life with kids for power? Sacrificed millions of dollars that he could have earned living in the west, peace of mind, fame and spent decades building/running cancer hospital, building universities for poor children. All that to gain what? A post which not long ago was held by the most useless people like Raja Pervez, Gilani, 3 times by Nawaz???
As much as i want Imran to become PM, part of me really hopes he leaves politics forever and probably leave Pakistan too knowing our country is in safe hands of Nawaz Sharif, Shahbaz Sharif Hamza Shabaz, Maryam Nawaz, Zardari, Bilawal Zardari, Newborn Zardari and their next generations.
