Re: Lahore Jalsa: Imran Khan’s Moment!
But if we consider how many genuine points he touched on, it far surpasses his previous persona of mentioning issues but not offering any specific solutions. This time around, he spoke of the issues, and outlined solutions and a brief view of the PTI manifesto. He truly spoke as a Political Candidate. I felt his speech was calculated and touched on all important domestic and international issues concerning Pakistan.
If nothing else, PTI has just earned itself a mention everytime Elections are spoken of in Pakistan in the coming months. It has now emerged as a party that can take the big wigs to task.
On the foreign policy front, he didn’t antagonize any party/nation unnecessarily whether it’s India, or USA/Nato. And kept it realistic as far as actual achievement goes, if he gets elected to the Big Office.
**What remains to be seen is:
**
a. Will this momentum keep growing?
b. Will the same people who came to the rally, also actually vote for him?
c. Who will he choose as his candidates in time for Elections. I would rather he choose a sincere Pakistanis that has not been in politics, but is an expert of his/her field, than to choose a tested face for the sake of winning elections (a la Musharraf style).
