Re: Live Updates of Azadi March
I know.
My point was the major reason why someone like Imran Khan is relevant is because of the policies of Nawaz Sharif. It is not like he has been in governance before, as a minister of chief minister of a province. He is not even a politician, he has not been through the system like others. You can call that lack of experience as a flaw.
And I also agree that this new drive may be sponsored (for Musharraf, or something else), I have not agreed with the stance of making Nawaz Sharif resign, not with mere thousands on the roads. Had he been able to gather a larger momentum, a few hundred thousand, then the government would be under pressure. Imran should have just taken the 5 points PML-N agreed on and had them timed.
But I don’t agree that the system will collapse if Nawaz Sharif resigns. His party can appoint another Prime Minister in his stead. And I also don’t agree that Imran Khan wants to turn Pakistan into Iraq. That is not going to happen, unless something big goes wrong. There are forces at play that will stop it. Let’s not compare ourselves to the mess that is Middle East.
Pakistan is not the fallout of the Ottoman Empire, they will always be better in every way imaginable.
What I am trying to get at is that if you don’t support Imran Khan then don’t support him. But that is no reason to put your weight behind the corruptness that is PML-N or even PPP. Both parties, if they are to become something need to be freed from the shackles of their current leaders, and good people need to brought forward. That is not going to happen anytime soon, but to support them, for me, is unthinkable.
