Power grab is not a bad thing..everyone has a right to take a shot at the top spot… but lets not call it inqilab or azadi march and what not..because inqliabs do not happen when you are in company of sheikh rasheeds , jamshed dastiess, mahmood shah qureshis, saif ullah niazis and aleem khans…these characters just want to be in power by hook or crook…and of course the are polluting imran’s mind setup as well
when you have such company purposefully you are bound to face disasters similar to what PTI experienced the other day when the whole PTI leadership disappeared when imran had to leave the stage because of 102 fever…poor inqilab was punctured by these folks right there…and by the way i am fine if Imran has these folks in his party because honestly speaking you do need a lot of these characters to grab power in Pakistan but it wont be inqilab or azadi march and whatnot…that is all
but you know what i mean…inqilab, or azadi march, or journey of naya Pakistan…
and i do want to reiterate one thing…i have ABSOLUTELY NO PROBLEM if imran has these characters in his party..Imran actually needs more of these to win rural pujab..that is how our rural base works…and that is how PMLN penetrates into the rural base…thsoe rajputs, jats, ariens, khans and maliks… If Imran need the top spot he needs a fair share of these characters…
imran once said “main farishtay kahan say laon”..and i completely agreed with him…the difference is that PMLN will have 90% of such characters whereas Imran can do well with 50%…sad but a reality… In the end my hope is that once Imran gets the top spot, his own strong character will make some difference…but it wont be an inqilab inqilab or a totally naya pakistan..he will need to make some compromises with these characters.
Why should he have waited for two years? Imran was in hospital when the results came out, but people all across the country were protesting when they found out that their vote has been changed while they came out to vote for the change. Imran never told the “burgers” of Karachi to come out and protest. In a country where a major political leader openly vowed to slain the innocent protectors if they won’t stop protesting about rigging, how can one say rigging is not a significant enough issue? I’m sorry if you are pro democracy than how can you possibly say that one must take rigging lightly? Anyone who actually knows and respects democracy (especially the ones cashing all the freedoms and liberties of Western democracies) should be the last people on earth to trivialise rigging - the single biggest crime against democracy. Rigging is an abuse of citizen’s right, it’s rigging that makes people lose their trust in the system and turns them into lifelong non-voters. How does that help democracy?
Having reservations with Imran’s strategic policies is one thing, but to completely demonise, discredit and degrade his persona and his ideology and his movement is pathetic. The kind of criticism he’s getting for not being a shrewd career politician is deplorable. His every little act gets put under a microscope and long analysis are presented, but on the other side the so called best CM this country has ever seen is named responsible for murdering of 14 people and ordering direct shooting of over 80 protesters, and no one baits an eyelid? Such gross political bias reeks of hatred, ignorance and opportunism.
People just want Imran Khan to ‘flop’ and go home with an egg on his face. Fine, may he flop. What’s going to happen? JI-JUI will reclaim KPK. MQM will maintain its ethnic bullsht, hold Pakistan’s economic hub as hostage and play politics like bloodsocked gang wars. Prince Bilawal will be ready take on Prince Hamza Sharif in the next round, and I will see which one of them talks about conflict of interest, economic corruption and dynastic nepotism.
Lol, Imran khan to charge to the red zone today with his followers. The government should arrest him and try for treason under article 6. I wonder what has happened to him. Is there any sane person in Pti left to stop this madness ?
don’t know much but from what i heard form some local people in KPK … PTI has made some difference in bureaucracy…police and other bureaucratic appointments are 100% on merit..no more transfers every other day. Give credit where it is due.
if what you say is true, then let us see if he can do it!! every action have a reaction, he / his party have taken some decisions, if they are right then the decisions will be speaking for themselves, now the question is, are they going to be there to taste the fruit or they will runaway like Kejarwal? he made some good and popular moves to and later ran away!!!
Given Imran’s towering personality and personal record, it’s really hard to imagine he’s the type to allow these people to easily influence him. Of course PTI is more than Imran and it’s a democratic party, therefore he must listen to all opinions.
But again it’s one those damned if you and damned if you don’t situation, prior to Lahore jalsa, he was constantly criticised being an outsider and keeping himself isolated. People wanted him have experienced faces in his camp to bring more knowledge, skills and party secrets with them.
Ever since this government came into being, Imran khan seems to be playing for them. First he presented himself to be bashed to bail the government out in the Taliban issue and now he has provided a life line to them (out of the blue) and in the event made it clear that he himself is not fit to rule the country.
It has become clear that the timing of this protest was not right. The people are not satisfied with the government but they still want to give them time, secondly no one wants to go back in the 90s. Imran was expecting a much bigger crowd in the march, another miscalculation after the two thirds majority he was supposedly getting in the previous elections. After failure of the march he has started taking desperate steps, all which will damage the party considerably.
Man stop acting a Pakistani cricket fan. It’s not end the world and certainly not the end his movement, surely your wrist slitting can wait for another day or so.
