You don't need to self ban and dispirit yourself. Just don't fall for any pathetic baiting post. Don't participate in such 'debates', and certainly don't dignify any pomposity laced, contemptuous, high and mighty, self righteous drivel only aimed to 'rile up' or belittle the PTI supporters - with replies. Trust me, sometimes the biggest and the best reaction to something is no reaction at all!
Appreciate the sentiments of the OP that 'PTI supporters and sympatheisers' are now arguably the largest, most resourceful, most vociferous and most vibrant group of civil society in Pakistan. The party and their supporters have changed the political scene in the country. There is now absolutely no second opinion over the fact that last few months have clearly shown that PTI's largely young, educated, professional, affluent - and most importantly female - supporters are capable of doing the most impressive form of activism and ideas based campaigning at every level. Starting from all important grassroot level, hence even the most systemic and handsomely paid anti PTI propaganda in the print media couldn't do anything to restrict their influence. They are the most organised and coordinated group of 'activists' in Pakistan. If these supporters can 'criminalise' electoral rigging in true sense of the word and raise so much awareness over it to the point where you have teenagers who were neither born or bred in any Western country nor lived under a proper democratic rule in their own country can confidently declare and believe that 'it is not democracy if there is rigging', imagine what these people can do if they push their entire weight behind replacing Taliban narrative and general religious bigotry with a more moderate, all inclusive secular ideology. The party has already shown that they don't need to pull ethnic or regional card to do popular politics.
But if some pseudo intellectuals and chest thumping e-patriots think that for sake of settling their hatred for Imran (who will be a retired man from public life in few years time) they are correct to sideline, demonise, antognise and outcast their country's one of the biggest, most empowered and animated (generational) chunk of civil society, then let them believe they are doing a huge service to Pakistan. In the meantime, amuse yourself with an idea that Imran and PTI 'burgers' are the only group of people who can be Taliban supporters, Jewish agents, Western wannbees, high-roller concert attenders, shameless free mixers, listeners of dajjal's music, expensive lawn wearing fahashi and* behayaayi* spreading street dancing Mullahs- all at the same time. Someone needs to spread a rumour that PTIians are also the first cousins of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. It's about time they get the title of bloody colonials as well, innit?
Yes and your PPP and ANP are the only ones opposing the formation of military courts so far. I say eff them, majority opinion should take precedence in a democracy.
Imran Khan should state his official policy to deal with Taleban and like minded parties and groups. Till then as much as We like his views and support him we should not treat him as some messiah. This is insaaf we are looking for. Justice can only be served if we Kill all Taliban from Pakistan. If he is not upto the task perhaps he should reconsider which side he wants to be on.
