Mr Imran Khan you have to be Extra vigilant.
Words of Muhammad Ali Jinnah.
“Once I had to attend a parliament session. I was going from Bombay to Delhi through Punjab Mail. I was alone in the first class compartment. The train was about to leave the platform when suddenly a woman entered the compartment. She just had a small handbag and no other luggage. She was young and beautiful. She sat in front of me. When the train started and picked up speed, I relaxed on my seat and started reading. After sometime she said to me: ‘Give me 1,000 rupees or I will pull the emergency chain and cry against you.’ I remained silent.
“The situation was quite embarrassing, and the journey was long. She repeated her demand two to three times but I remained silent as if I had heard nothing. At this, the woman got very excited; she held my arm and said, ‘Don’t you hear me? Would you like to put your honour to dust?’
I put my hand on my ears and signalled her that I am deaf. I gave her a pencil and paper to write what she had said. Being overexcited, the lady snatched the paper and pencil from my hand and hurriedly wrote, ‘Give me 1,000 rupees, lest you will be disgraced’. I took the paper from her, put it in my pocket, and pulled the emergency chain. The train stopped and the guard arrived in a few minutes, I gave him the chit, the lady was arrested and the train moved on. After this incident, I decided not to travel in train except in a fully-reserved compartment.
“In public life, character is everything. The leader’s life is like a mirror. They have to be extra vigilant.”
