bhutto was one of the greatest orators that the region has seen.....he had the ability to bring the crowd to emotional climax and then, within the next few seconds reduce them to tears and mercy. this art has yet to be replicated within the realm of Pakistani politics.
having said that....you have to recognize that insulting comments like "sooar kay bachay" and "yeh bc sarkari afsar" were not slips of the tongue....they were intentional placements.....the type a defense lawyer uses just before he/she says, "Withdrawn"........ by then the damage is done.
With all due respect this pretty poor analysis, main thing about bhutto was the class he approached, it was have nots, never been addressed before.
Bhutto is a gone case. Let me remind you guys of the topic. It is: "Why Imran Khan?" and not: Why Bhutto? Now get back to business or I will call the mods :D

Dude I don't want to hate my country man, that's why I don't read such a thread.
humari patloon phar di PPP ML-n ny , ab bhi hum ko ideas aa rahy heen that we should not support imran ??
unbelievable.
I supported him since he started writing about pakistans real issues. We traditionally were ML-n from father side, tehreeq-i-istaqlall_T0_ML-n from mom side.
I convinced every one to vote for imran in his first election, I love my family for agreeing with me back then, but they did not out of fear that PPP would come to power.
Not that has changed.
Personally If I accidentally see nawaz's picture I feel sick in the stomach. I swear.
Arugement rejected Remember…your leader is about change, so you need to change as many minds as you can to realize his dream. Now decide for yourself if you are with your leader or against him

I am all for you buddy. It's now or never for Pakistan. Hope people will understand this.
You can burst a bubble but there’s no stopping the tsunami. So which is Imran: the bubble or the tsunami?
**It may yet be too early to tell. After rocking the political arena by holding bumper rallies in Lahore and Karachi, Imran and his merry men have suddenly dropped out from the radar. Ask a PTI-wallah and he will have a long list of justifications, but a nagging questions hovers uncomfortably in the air: “Did Imran speak too soon?”
**
**The Lahore and Karachi jalsas heralded the arrival of a new political star who seemed unstoppable. The political traditionalists — the PPP, the PML-N and the likes — felt like they were relegated to the role of playback singers as Imran, the rockstar, belted out record-breaking political tunes. The traditionalists began to bleed members. When constituency titans like Shah Mahmood Qureshi and Javed Hashmi bolted to Imran, the traditionalists realised that they had a real serious problem at hand.
**
**Their fortresses had been breached by the political invader.
**
**But since then, a lull. As my friend Talat Hussain wrote in an op-ed in this paper on March 16, titled “More of the same”: “PTI has a ‘work in progress’ board hanging outside its office.” Imran is still barnstorming the country, addressing rallies in towns and smaller cities. He is still holding press conferences and the party is still issuing statements and policy papers. So it’s not as if the party HQ has been boarded up, just that from rapid acceleration, the party has gone into cruise control.
**
**In the meantime, the traditionalists have fortified their defences. A gradual change in perception is, therefore, coming about in the political arena: Imran Khan’s bubble is bursting and the electorate is reverting to the traditional two-party hegemony of the traditionalists — warts and all.
**
There are two problems: **First, it is clearly way too early to write the PTI’s obituary. Second, a return to power of traditionalists would not bode well for Pakistan.
**
Here’s why: **The president has made his record-breaking fifth address to parliament. What joy. Meanwhile the prime minister is on a mission to damage the highest court of the land. While this tragedy unfolds, the process of doling out patronage among coalition partners has picked up speed. State money is being used with abandon for nakedly partisan politicking. Does nobody see a problem here? Does nobody detect the nauseating conflict of interest?
**
**The traditionalists have sunk politics to a level where all is seen as fair. ‘Hey its politics’ they retort when confronted. What they are really saying is that the pursuit of power justifies every kind of skulduggery. If the electorate punished them for such villainy, the traditionalists would think twice.
**
**Really? If anything, Zardari has shown the mirror to us all. He has exposed the other sanctimonious traditionalists for what they really are: no better than him when it comes to protecting their own vested interests. He has also exposed — to an extent — the typical Pakistani mentality which admires a man like him when he cheats, manipulates, exploits and bribes his way to success.
**
**Loyalty to the party is more important than loyalty to the nation. ****The prime minister knows he is undercutting the foundations of the entire functioning system by defying the Supreme Court, but in this sub-culture, he will be lionised for doing so. These are the depths we have sunk to, but instead of reacting with revulsion and outrage, we express admiration for the politics of Asif Zardari and the rest.
**
**Pakistan cannot afford this. The traditionalists are perpetuating this political culture by thriving in it. They will never change it because they are its creation. This is precisely why we need a third force which can provide an alternative to this way of doing things. We need a party or a movement which can tell the electorate that there is a different way to run Pakistan; that there can be a system which rewards merit and punishes cheating and manipulation; that there can be a culture where principles matter, where right is right and wrong is wrong and the two do not need to be mixed.
**
**Imran may or may not fill this void. But this doesn’t mean the void doesn’t exist. We deserve better.

Ik was going popular but
Yh nadan gr gaiay sajday main jab waqt e qiam aaya
یہ نادان گر گئے سجدے میں جب وقت قیام آیا
He sold himself or he was trapped ,perhaps we can never know
BUT ACCORDING TO HIS PAST
IT IS MORE LIKELY THAT HE OFFERED HIMSELF AS FOR SALE
Nothing is left him to see him as a change
You can like him for his cricket , or as model ,or as charity collector or as a ........
But nothing in his politics
If I have been supporting PMLN in the past it does not make me their slave to the extent that I should close my eyes and keep following them even if they dont perform, I'll give PTI a benefit of doubt for the next elections or if someone better than him comes I'll support him. My support is for anyone who can work and bring about a change in the country, not any specific leader or political party.
There is a musical chair going on in Pakistan for the past few decades between PPP and PMLN. During the past 40 years the party which has ruled Pakistan most is PPP followed by PMLN. They have repeatedly held power in the centre as well as provinces, but the country has continuously been going backwards. Pakistan needs a third party to break the monopoly of these parties, keep a check on them and provide alternate policies to tackle various issues confronting the country. This third party could be PTI or some other party.
At the moment since there is no other option and a large population is not only frustrated but disillusioned, this void has been filled to some extent by PTI. PTI deserves a chance as the country cannot further regress where the governments during the past 60 years have brought the country to.
