Having met Cyril once or twice I agree with a lot he says. Is he a liberal? Yup. Is he against the Taliban? Yup. But doesn't change the fact that Imran has made being a Taliban sympathizer main stream. The only difference between him and Maulana Diesel or Sandwich is that he says it in politically correct terms in an English accent. And whatever your politics Imran Khan is a Taliban apologist. His reaction during the Church bombing in Peshawar was hilarious. He is exactly not what the province needs. The ANP now that is a party worthy to fight of the Taliban.
Imran Kha and his PTI are Taliban Lite.
Is he Taliban Lite or liberal confused? A sort of Pakistani Born Confused Desi. I don't think he shares the views of the Taliban but having indulged in the culture of the West, living the life of a self proclaimed "brown sahib", he is now hypersensitive to the plight of the religious and the supposedly patriotic. Ironically, he is, in my opinion, behaving exactly like the confused youth that religious groups recruit, the ones whose identities are challenged when their adoptive peers in the West clash with their heritage and fellow Pakistanis.

Having met Cyril once made you think that the entire KP poll verdict was wrong? ANP had been condemning the TTP for five long years, but did the condemnation solve the problem? Theatrics need to be separated from practicalities when it comes to achieving targets instead of passing time and scoring on the media big time.
If you want to cite your meeting with Cyril as a proof of his sanity, you should also meet Imran once before declaring him a TTP apologist.
I was referencing that fact he is liberal and against the Taliban considering that is what we discussed. I have met Imran Khan on a flight to Dubai. Still an Taliban apologist. The fact that he does not hold the Taliban accountable for the bombings is a simple example.
What's getting really embarrassing and tedious is that these self confessed 'liberals' can write pages long essays pushing their shock horror doctrine forward on daily basis, yet none of their typically hyperbolic and meandering pieces would actual offer any 'solution', at all. It's totally against their agenda, but still. They blame Imran for 'confusing' people, but it's not like they have manage to provide any clear direction to the public. So much for being 'liberal', how many campaigns for anti terrorism legislation and initiatives these people have pushed for? None. I wonder why these 'liberal' never bothered throwing a tantrum about country not having a terrorism funding legislation, or any legislation to bring madarrassas under government control or ways to make FATA a truly Federal territory? Pseudo- intellectualism can get terribly boring and counter productive after a while. If only those who call themselves liberal in Pakistan had any idea what liberal values really are and how you fight for them. Constant mud-slinging, btching, tantrum throwing, moaning about a certain personality doesn't count as liberal values, that's called very ugly and lazy looking yellow journalism.
I think it's funny how one crucial point is always missing from every consideration and debate is that why is there a market for Imran's views? Forget Imran, why PMLN's peace promise grabbed people's attention? The party which actually enjoys 2/3 of majority has nothing to do with Imran and technically need no APC's of any sort to make decision, but why are they going ahead with policies endorsed by Imran? Maybe people of Pakistan genuinely want peace, a bloodless end to this long war and return of normalcy. The warmongers have effectively tuned peace a dirty word, but say whatever, in four years time if PMLN says 'dear Punjab, vote for us because we kept our darling province free of terrorist attacks', Punjab will vote for them without a second thought. Perhaps some people really need to do their homework realise that People of Pakistan genuinely want peace and stability in the country. A total end to violence, ANP failed to do any of that and hence, they got beaten up quite badly by both fronts.
These journos can write countless articles on Imran to keep their bread and butter supply going, what else are they supposed to do? It's an utterly humiliating for them to admit they have no access to military insight and information. When was the last time they managed to get hold an army personnel? Shouldn't they be really ashamed about this? How on earth can you daydream about military operations when the military is no where to be seen? The same military that wouldn't even bother talking you or even acknowledge the sentiments you constantly harp about ? Of course, in such joke of a situation, it makes perfect sense to use someone like Imran as a punching bag. These wannabe liberals should be very very glad that they are not spewing their filth in actual liberal country, if such damaging accusations were made against a public figure in the West, I can assure you that people like Cyril would've found themselves penny less on the streets.

Zaatiyat pay baat jaati hai but I think it has lot to do with imran's playboy past and the marriage to jemima. Part of it might be imran's turn towards "islam" in our right wing contest and part of it might be that Imran doesn't really want to take on Jamat as well considering diesel and N-league already called him yahood lobby etc.
Remember, Imran is not as brave as he claims himself to be. He himself admitted that he coldn't criticize taliban because they would kill his party members. In his case, I hope for the best but I won't sweat it if he turns out to be another failure. P
akistan has yet to produce a game changing leader in the current times. All we did was produce a bhutto who got wasted on power trips and feudalism. Perhaps, it tells something about the Pakistani society?

Though I am not a "liberal" per se (don't like or consume alcohol or worship BBZ) but I, like many others, can offer a solution to this impasse. Pity is that PTI won't listen to it just like jiyalas don't listen to logic but bhuttogic above everything else.

What is the solution? Army certainly didn't ask for Imran's permission when they conducted an operation in FATA two/three weeks ago, nor army was anywhere to be seen when people were dying because of multiple suicide blasts per day. So don't you think all these attention seeking efforts are actually going to waste. The army certainly doesn't give a hoot about what these writers moan about. It took someone like Munawar Hassain to say something so stupid and inflammatory for army's spokesperson to appear on twitter. You know what, people should actually thank Munawar Hassan, if it wasn't for him, people of Pakistan would've never realised that their army has a full time employed spokesperson who also has a twitter account. What a massive revelation that was, at least for me.
The proof is in the pudding. He doesn't call out the Taliban even though people in his province are dying.
Compare the overall rate of violence under ANP and PTI. Things are certainly improving, slowly but surely. The momentum must keep moving until total peace prevails.

Those have nothing to do with the fact that Imran does not condemn the attacks. He makes excuses for them.
Yeah but in the case of Imran Khan there are no words nor no actions.** He even bowed out of the negotiating committee.**
I would have accepted it and done my utmost to counter the mullahs. An inside man if you would. But that would require political acumen.
Do not pretend as if it was the Federal Government who nominated his name. He clearly doesn't represent Taliban or their Sharia. You obviously have no or very little knowledge about PTI's in work. So I'll leave you at that, ignorance is bliss.
Nawaz Sharif and Zardari who have stashed billions in banks around the world have not sold Pakistan, and the guy who has given the country Shaukat Khanum and Namal has sold the country. The guys who have ruled the country for most of the democratic period during the past 4 decades have not sold the country and the guy who has got a government in one province seven months ago has sold the country. I feel these kind of articles are just smokescreens to obscure the reality. Flawed logic!
Cyril has been served a legal notice by PTI. Hopefully he will prove in court that 'Taliban Khan' has sold the country to the taliban.
Sir jee . Koi ghat naeen , Jan dio
Saray billion ei kha gaiay , Jis tarah was chalia
We have already seen these attempts .
Last Chanda Khori , Zakat chori wala Dar ka case kahan hay .
Yeh sab batain dramay hain ,
agar funds kathey karna itna hi aasan ho tau har aera ghera nathu khera philanthropist ban jaye. People trust him with their money
e.g. the person in charge of audit at Shaukat Khanum Hospital is none other than former ICC President Ehsan Mani
Ehsan Mani is a former President of the International Cricket Council (ICC). He is a Chartered Accountant by profession. He is on the board of United Trust Bank Limited in London and is also a non-executive director of Places for People Group, one of the largest Registered Social Landlords in the UK. He chairs the Audit Committees of both the companies. He is a member of the Board of Governors and chairman of the Audit Committee of Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital and Research Centre in Lahore, Pakistan. He is a trustee of Sanjan Nagar Educational Trust which provides high level education to over 600 under privileged children (mainly girls) in Lahore. He is a consultant to Dubai Sports City in the UAE and to a number of Cricket Boards around the world.
The men who sold the country are : Ziaul Haq, Musharraf. There are no more than these words about it. You can cry all you want, you can shout all you want but that will not make any difference. You can not "buy back", the agreement was signed by the military and even they can't CTRL+Z it. Zardari did not try to fix it, he cried wolf tears. Nawaz Sharif will NOT fix it, he will make everyone else cry. Imran Khan has gained lots of support from the people but not apparently that is not in majority, so why the blame should be on the parties/personnel who have had majority for last 10-12 years.
Army pretends to be waiting for civilians to come to an agreement to fix the solution, civilians believe that it is army's who can fix it. Truth is both have to work jointly to fix it and both have to be ready for lots of losses/will-power/criticism and not worry much about next election cycle.
