Re: Imran Khan’s message for Youth and Overseas Pakistanis
Youth, overseas Pakistanis, and the segment of society that has been labelled by media as ‘burger class/mummy daddy’ have historically been the segments of society that have stayed away from taking part in polls, and have resigned themselves to their lives, and ‘allowed’ status quo to exist and rot the country at will. Reason was that these segments of the society have never been impacted directly by things like load shedding, economy etc. They all have generators, access to excellent schools, roads, most have dual nationalities, so technically, they couldnt have cared less in the past. But in reality, they are the highest earners of the society, and hence, the highest tax payers. So it was vital that in the first step, they be jolted.
And in case you missed it, overseas Pakistanis did fly in to vote this time around in large numbers. And from the next elections, they will be able to vote overseas as well.
As for the rural areas, they too have woken up. The change that you saw in the form of diminished vote bank of parties like PML-N and PPP is an eye opener. And take a look at how a city like Karachi has been jolted out of its slumber.
As for Mr. Anwer Pasha, dont mind him. He missed his medication again.
