Re: Jamat e Islami’s role in Pakistan
If the issue was as innocent as that one liner, then why did it become so contagious and led to divisions? Is Sindh more united and open to others because of that? Maybe some people need to learn from Taliban Khan as to how not to politicise language issue and use it as a tool to stir trouble. Unprecedented level of Pashtu music and cultural revival is happening in KPK, but has Imran ever talked about it to polish his politics? Is he going around belittling Urdu language as worst decision of Jinnah, a foreign language imposed on poor Pashtuns or insulting other communities by calling them invasive and inferior ‘outsiders’? Any chance of riots? No. For that I’m satisfied enough to support such initiatives. More power to them.
Besides, Imran is not a Pashto speaker nor lives in KPK, I doubt such initiatives personally effect him, nor language revival was part of his manifesto, but he is still doing a wonderful service to the local community. A strong message for other communities where big bad ‘outsider’ Imran Khan is seen as a closet destroyer of their whole ethnic race!
