I am pro-PTI and I was pro-IK prior to 2018 and continue to have an largely positive view of IK's main ambitions (political goals) but I cannot deny that many of his actions post-coup have been overly populistic and in many ways pathetic and power-hungry.
At the end of the day IK is a reflection of the sorry state of Pakistan as much as us supporters want to deny it, with the added ingredient of him having tentacles to the West and once (for many years) living among them (West) and the UK elite in particular.
At the end of the day, no matter how many good intentions he might have, he is only allowed to be operating within Pakistan in a certain way/limits and he uses much of the same discourse and tactics that the political mafia dynasties/well-known crooks have been using.
That and the overly focus/political use of the "Islam card" as I call it.
IK might kickstart the very early start of a new Pakistan emerging (politically and in terms of establishment) but he will certainly not be the person to finish this work of. Sadly he is just a more enlightened version of the old crooks in power given his age.
Another undeniable fact; IK was put into power by the same establishment (or at least they clearly helped him and PTI) that later removed him. Of course PTI/IK proved to be a threat for the establishment but that is another discussion.
It's all a puppet show by the neutrals/establishment and their henchmen and that has always been the case. Before we all realize it, the easier it will be to change it.
