It’s true, many of us get overly fixated on the personality of IK, that all most of us, IMHO, want is a functional non-corrupt government and hopefully good economic manager. Alas, when we look around, he seems like the only decent option, and he has raised the bar on governance, that we don’t want to go back to stagnation of the past.People here don't realize that they are often like the 'Modi Bakths' of India. And woe to them if/when Imran Khan dies because there is no alternative to them in their cultist minds.
People don't realize that Imran Khan was the first Prime Minister of Pakistan since 1971/72 (ZAB) where total support and trust was given to a Prime Minister by the Military. Since then, all other Prime Ministers were carefully selected or tamed or put on short leash; even Imran has not been as free as ZAB, actually.
But for Imran to squander such a support in such a short time? How about some self reflections??? I know that that the politicians and the politics of Pakistan has changed from the early 1980s--money become much more important over ideology--but how has 'the Establishment' of Pakistan changed to the point as being alleged here? Maybe the Establishment of Pakistan knows which side of the bread being buttered while Mr. Imran Khan poses some ideological battle from his ivory tower??
I agree, that PTI badly needs to do a through review of their performance over the coming 17 months. Sad as it maybe to say, but how the opposition governs (or misgoverns) over the next 17 months may be the biggest boost to the PTI’s prospects in the 2023 elections. PTI has earned its populist credentials, but will have to formulate a better diplomatic and economic plan, despite the headwinds.
