Even when I was (what I considered) a die-hard fan of IK & PTI, I kept an eye open. When I saw unwarranted statements, criticisms, & political expediency, I excused it but kept a mental note of it. Therefore when I clearly saw that IK's lust was causing damage to the country, I dropped him. It was not easy - a dream does not die quickly or without pain.
I suggest all partisans to allow their leaders to be humans, not idols. They can & do make mistakes. Laud their good steps & criticize (or at least note) their mistakes.
A view of structural & systemic issues is more important than personality worship.
You may remember my posts from before mid-2014 & how full of hope I was for PTI & IK. If I were a blind cultist, I would not have been able to reorient myself. I suggest that others try to keep an objective mind. There is only so much damage that a person should be allowed to inflict before one gives up.
