The rolling stone seems to be gathering some moss. The PTI is no longer a political force that can be discounted. After their huge rally in Lahore, the Kaptaan has followed up with an even stronger show in Karachi. This comes on the back of a huge achievement for the party – the bagging of political veteran Javed Hashmi. All PTI-wallahs will now be even more averse to criticism, if that was possible.
Being part of a movement that is picking up steam is a great
high but there is also the pitfall that one loses perspective and any
self-critical tendencies. Many people are joining PTI but none seem
concerned about the lack of a manifesto or the many opportunists
that Khan is taking aboard (despite his lofty claims from his high moral ground earlier). Imran Khan talks about change.
But what change? He wants to lead the people. But to where?
