Re: Tahirul Qadri’s long march

That’s the reason why he has earned the name of “Confused Khan..” which does not go well for a person who is aspiring to lead the nation. He should have come out on the first day with a clear stance that any illegal demand would not be supported by PTI.. however any legal demand ensuring electoral reforms would have been backed fully by IK.. it’s not the first time IK lost initiatives.. and came out as a person who can not take clear stand on the matters and fight for them. His boycotts of all the bye-elections was another big mistake committed by “Confused Khan..” These bye-elections if fought with full force would have given much needed boost to Khan’s efforts.. and if Khan would have gone with full force with personal campaigning in these bye-election.. and in fact if he would have won even one bye-election.. it would have been end of all status quo parties. Khan lacks political acumen and basic wisdom.. and I can tell you all the other leadership of the party wanted to participate in these bye-elections.. including Hashmi and Qureishi..

I agree with you, IK has a lot of flaws in his personality, confused in a lot of matters and inflexible in his views. But still I’d vote for him in the next elections, but to be fair I dont see him winning the elections (as he thinks he would). I think PTI would be 3rd or 4th amongst the lot (PMLN, PPP, PTI and MQM).

I dont have hope from the other two (PPP and PMLN). PMLN might win the next elections easily, but I find Nawaz Sharif a bigger goof as compared to IK. His policies regarding WoT are as confused as IK’s and then he lacks charisma. The next elections could result in a hung parliament and Nawaz Sharif doesnt have the capability of cobbling a coalition and then holding them together. The next government would be in a lot of pressure from day 1 because of the mis governance of the present regime. If there’s no marked difference in the first couple of months of the new government we are heading towards a very uncertain future.
