The Rise of Pakistan's Imran Khan

[FalconStar]

Not completely perfect, but still a more balanced opinion from a western point of view.
Could you even imagine somebody making a documentary about Ganju.
At least now we have a leader the world is curious about.

Imran Ahmed Khan Nazi is the Prime Minister of Pakistan. Is he our national leader wait till 2023.

 

[insight-out]

For the majority of Imran’s current supporters, his succeses on the cricket field are not the only things that draw them to him.

Had he been just a cricketer (even with similar accomplishments) who had gone straight into politics, he would not command the same level of admiration that he does.

In the eyes of his supporters, his work as a philanthropist, the hospitals, the university, the foundation, define his character and prove his credibility as an incorruptible, sincere leader. It is this aspect of his life that the people (even his adversaries) acknowledge and admire the most.

So it is baffling when the international media’s account of his life almost always skips over his social work, and focuses only on his cricket and his playboy persona. It either shows ignorance or betrays a deliberate portrayal of him as a shallow character.

عمران خان اچھا آدمی ہے
مگر ادارے ملک چلاتے ہیں
اور ہر ادارے مے کھلی رشوت چلتی ہے
حد یہ ہے کے پنجاب گورنمنٹ کے تحت ایکسائیز ٹیکسیشن کی جاب آنے والیں ہیں تو ڈسکس کیا دوستوں سے۔ نتیجہ نکلا کے مجھے کم اذ کم 17 گریڈ کی جاب ہی سوٹ کرتی ہے 30 ہزار تو مزدور کما لیتا ہے تو ایکسائیز ٹیکسیشن مے کون گزارہ کرے گا سیدھی بات ہے کھلا کماؤ اور کھلاؤ۔
مے اپنے آپ کو اور ملک کو اندھیرے مے نہیں رکھ سکتا۔
یہی وجہ ہے یہ ملک سیدھا نہیں ہو رھا

And this is the real challenge for IK.

he is likely to focus only on Pakistan internally. Like fixing economy, increasing exports, fixing fiscal debt, fighting corruption, Good governance etc etc. International relations will not be his priority. Thinking in Pakistan abt International relations isnt that much as it is for internal matters of Pakistan. We believe these US, Afghans or Indians need Pakistan more then Pakistan needs them, specially in long run....So is the understanding of this government too. Thinking wise, he is actually more closer to Donald Trump in his focus and policies. International tours whenever he does will be for economical reasons to increase exports of Pakistan then security, or strategic partnerships. I wont be surprised if he start asking for remittances for the damage Pakistan sustained economically and for the people who died in war on terror including in drone strikes which combined are of 75000 in future.
