I understand your position better now, Sir.
If I understand you correctly, in your view, good moral character and being a good Muslim is applicable only within Pakistan. Since Imran Khan's transgressions were abroad and not taken to court within Pakistan, 62/63 does not apply. To remain consistent, would you say the same for any other politician whose has holding companies abroad with lots of unexplained monetary assets, since they are abroad and not legally contested within Pakistan?
That's a very skewed definition of "understanding it better". It is a common mistake of people who either knowingly or unknowingly want to mix legality with personal beliefs. To disqualify is a LEGAL matter, not a moral one. Judging morality to decide whether or not we should vote for him is more related to personal beliefs. I can vote for Satan too, if I was stupid like so many people who do vote for mini Satans in Pakistan, as long as Satan was legally okay. Personal belief right?
The moronic irony is that we are not questioning Satan who barely are escaping their legal grounds for disqualification but are treating Angels with suspicion over inconsequential matters.
1)
This law is stupid. So if to beat this law a loophole is used, its perfectly okay in my books. A legal loophole is at the end of the day LEGAL.
Anti-corruption laws are not stupid. This law should be abolished along with all theocratic nonsense in the constitution.
From a national point of view his alleged one night stand is inconsequential in determining morality. Unless you are an Islamist its of no consequence.
2) Transgressions have not been proven in a court of law in Pakistan, verdicts were given WITHOUT a paternity test. Imran Khan has never on record accepted paternity.
3) Legally speaking he is on solid grounds, the ECP returning officer ruled in a similar fashion. He said don't give me newspaper cutouts, give me some official documentation proving paternity. Since a paternity test was not taken, there's no official document.
4) Morally speaking, from the bit we are concerned - he did not loot anyone, he is hardworking, honest and has good policies set up for Pakistan he is a good candidate. You can perhaps PROVE his legal guilt, but you KNOW he's good for Pakistan. You can't prove all our Satan's legal guilt but you KNOW they are bad for Pakistan.
I would never ask anybody to be PUNISHED (whether its jailtime or disqualification) without a competent court of Pakistan finding them guilty, no matter how stupid the law they may represent, we have to honor the courts... But a vote is my call right? I would encourage you and everybody else to vote in a way that's good for Pakistan.
5) To add to the moral part, any person's tobah also counts. We have to see how he has behaved since and we can see that he has even been a good moral human being even from an Islamists point of view.
