PD using that same logic one could argue that Zardari has same integrity as Jinnah or is as noble as Jinnah ‘because most of us have not met these people in person’
and by the same reasoning Shoaib Malik has as much integrity as a cricketer as someone like Imran, Miandad, Zaheer or Hanif…
Do you really buy that? Are you seriously kidding me?
btw the vast majority of people who voted for Barack Obama in the US election also did not know him in person!!
You do not have to know a public figure in person to be able to form an independent and rational opinion about them. Eyes tell you a lot about a person? Whether he is evil/crook etc. What people say in public, how they conduct themselves in public, their views, demeanour etc. tell you even more
One look at people like Zardari, Nawaz, Altaf, Ch. Shujaat, Rehman Malik, aapa Firdous Aashiq Awan, Babar Awan (probably THE biggest crook in Pakistan*,* iss bandey ka koi deen eeman nahin, yeh ‘laaayer’ cum liar* ziyada hai!!)* etc. - the list is endless - is enough for me to not trust them with anything
However I do not have the same views on Jinnah, Liaquat, Edhi, Imran Khan (have met him twice though) and many others. I know these people are atleast not crooks or (financially) corrupt. Their positives far outweigh their negatives (if any!!). I may disagree with Imran’s religious and political views (about Taliban etc.) but as far as I am concerned they are all men of integrity and character..
