The point you artfully dodged is that of electoral support (which is why I also gave the example of Tehreek e Istaqlal). I have been one of the earliest critics of Imran Khan for his stances on the Taleban. That wasnt the point of the example.
Dont be shy. Answer the question. Tell us how much time you have spent in Pakistan, other than visiting for vacations. You risk appearing like one of those closet homosexuals who goes around accusing others of being gay.
