Re: Imran’s Tehreek-e-Insaf launches newsletter

what you indicate are problems, but they are not the sole issues. if you remove that all today things will not become all great because we do not have the vision and planning to do something. as a nation …polticians and awam are more fouced on the past than lookign forward to teh future.
To some extent such issues are present in one way shape or form in pretty much every country, whether its lobbies controlling politicians, caretls running the govts whatever, btu one thing remains..the groups actually have plans..real plans. that is the difference.
I agree that the best plans are useless if they can not be implemented, but without good plans what are you going to implement?
even on your initial goals of ‘clean up’, how are you going to do it.
how does Imran want to clean up our political scene?
is he going to ban politicians? on what basis, how will such a law be passed, thru current courts or new courts,
how will the justices br removed, on what premise, how will that process be handled?
How will he limit the role of govt and intelligence agencies? step 1, step 2, who, where, when, how, what?
what about the police depts..how will he weed it out, who will do it, what is teh criteria, how will you replace bad cops with new cops..what will the screenign be like, what type of due diligence will be in place for hiring and ongoing monitoring of cops?
Tough questions? hey..real questions. but they dont get addressed.
Thats where I say that aside from visions. slogans and ideas you need real direction, real plans.
so if we set aside isues such as education, haelth, technology, industry, defense, trade, agriculture, economy, etc on the back burner, and look at the previous paragraph with the set of questions, lets hear it. how will it be done.
Its easy to say this needs to be done, or we will do it. but its very difficult when questiosn come up of who, when, how, what, where etc.
Right now PTI says its the only party that wants to change systematic blocks etc. tomorrow lets say someone else comes up and says they want to do the same thing but want to have their own party and it is being led by someone who is respected and charismatic like Imran. Lets say edhi, anwar maqsud, Salman Ahmed.
Then what is the difference between the groups. you have to give people a vision of the future, and maybe the awam at large may not be sophisticated enough to break free from the partisan emotional voting that brought benazir in power twice, but they want to hear what you will do, and how you will do it.
I would rather have a crook in the office who has the ability to deliver results than an honest man who is incompetent and cant deliver (this is not an attack on imran or musharraf or nawaz or benazir but a general statement)
plans are important, your post about what Imran’s vision is shows that he has some inkling of what he wants to do. There has to be more due diligence by PTI on such plans. They should stand up to certain level of scrutiny.. not just as a political game, but as an indication that they are realistic and can be realized. You have to know you can implement your vision, and yo have to know how it can be done.
