Yes, everything is possible only if tribunals and courts start responding to those over 400 petitions. Launch investigations, and depending on the results, authorise re-polling. That’s the whole point But are tribunals and courts doing their jobs? After 15 months of dilly dallying, ridiculing, using and abusing, pressurising, politicisating independent state institutions, the fraud Prime Minister offers under the table deal to grieving party only after the threat of agitation becomes a fast approaching reality? What kind of ‘good administration’ and democracy is that?

Your liking of disliking and plain hatred of Imran is also irrelevant. It is PTI’s democratic and constitutional right to protest and speak up for what they believe in. The political mobilization of masses cannot be taken lightly, nor demonised if you want people to take your democracy bragging seriously. If the government has won and square according to you, then government should not have anything to fear from these protests. So why suppress them? Only explain such this you know and respect true democracy, otherwise don’t bother.

Your logic doesn’t up, if Imran hasn’t done anything good in KPK and his coalition partners have also expressed their concerns over rigging in KPK, why would he put everything at stake to campaign free and fair elections?

Newsflash: Democracy is the clash of ideas and values! Those who don’t know jack squat about this noble system are the types to get too insecure and defensive when they confront difference of ideas and values.

Yes. The man who prevented independent state institutions from launching investigation for long pending cases, blatantly and repeatedly lied to public that courts are at fault, suddenly says we will open 10 constituencies for you if you talk to us, cannot be trusted.

You are so paranoid and fixated over Imran Khan that you fail to see anything beyond his name. Just because you don’t like Imran (and please don’t come up oh once upon a time I used to be a PTI supporter bla bla bla) you will do everything to demonise his message for a free and fair elections and trivialise rigging all in the name of democracy that basically means saving the House of Shareef at any cost.

Even if there’s guarantee that mid term poll would result in a hung parliament, would you still bash Imran and condemn free and fair elections? And what If mid term polls give Nawas League a clear majority once again, would you still condemn free and fair re-polling?

I didn’t used to be just a supporter, I was a paid up member of his party when Nawaz Sharif was last in power in the late 1990’s and Imran Khan did not even have a single seat in parliament and had never even been an MNA at that stage. I was in my teens and I was also an idealist, perhaps I still am. I was a member of his party when he has nobody. Even in the last elections I supported him and made financial contribution to his campaign. So I don’t need any lessons from you. Unlike you I am a principled person and I don’t follow a leader blindly. Have you seen him on stage when if someone stands in front of him he physically pushes their head down. I have been disappointed by his lack of performance and his behaviour, as he is turning out to be no different than other politicians.

The people that joined him at the start advised him and he did not follow their advice and as a result he spent many years in the political wilderness and now he is following that advice however now he does not need to follow that advice anymore, and he needs to act like a statesman. He still needs to learn a lot about politics. Instead of being a team player he seems more of a loner and a dictator.
