But a solid agenda is still missing
That Imran could manage to hold what is being described as the largest public meeting in Karachi’s history is a testimony to his rising popularity. That he could perform the feat in MQM’s traditional stronghold is all the more significant. While he has succeeded in recruiting a number of well-known political figures from Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, what should worry him is that there was not a single widely known leader from either Sindh or Balochistan on the stage.
The roadmap for revolutionary change promised by Imran is likely to give birth to a lively debate in days and weeks to come. While some of the goalposts set by him might be useful as a distant ideal, they are simply impracticable unless Pakistan develops into a highly industrialised and prosperous country which is not possible during the five-year tenure of the next government, irrespective of the party or the alliance that comes to power. Foremost among these is his peculiar concept of an Islamic welfare state which is based on the British model of the welfare state of the early 70’s. Economic crunch has already led to the curtailment of the welfare programme in Britain. PTI chief has made promises to provide free quality education, access to medical facilities and legal aid to all in the country. Small farmers have been assured that they would get cheap power and fertiliser and free seeds. Imran has also vowed to end the country’s dependence on foreign aid. He plans to achieve all this by making everyone pay taxes and luring foreign investments by improving law and order. A dedicated administration can no doubt bring about changes of the sort. As things stand, these would be incremental rather than revolutionary. It is simply hyperbolic to promise that his party would “control and finish corruption in 90 days.”
There was nothing concrete in Imran’s programme to address the concerns of the smaller provinces and minorities. While he promised to divert funds for the development of Balochistan, he took no notice of forced disappearances and killings in the province which are a source of deep concern for the Baloch as well as people in other provinces.
imran khan is the biggest liar & betrayer the nation has ever come across… ask him why he did not utter a word against mqm & altaf hussain??
the whole world knows that Imran khan is the man of principal and he never lies….Karachi jalsa was a unity jalsa and it was like a festival for Karachi people after so long, the happiest moments in the life's of millions of people of the city. They chosed not to speak against the specific party because they did not wanted to spoil the happiness of people who wanted to join their hands without fear in that sensitive and fear environment. We should congratulate PTI and Imran Khan for bringing so many different classes of the city together.
Imran said before the jalsa in karachi that they are not going to target/discuss any of the political opposition/party and he didn't.
it is not the time to disgrace others, it is the time to win and build the system to trace lies or anomalies in the system.
What are you? A shady anti-Mohajir, pro-PML-Nawaz Punjabi?
The MQM are relatively small fish in the Pakistani sea. And as Imran Khan has repeatedly said, he would rather go after the big boys then waste his time slapping the kid on the block. Once he has dealt with them the others will fall in line…
sincerity is road map for solving issues….that s right ..right people for right job ..no complicated forumula …. dont know why people never ask this question to already laid parties in pakistan..and when it come to PTI everyone wants perfection…ok fine if khan does not have it then who has it ??? can any one tell me ? or we want to waste another 5 years for criticizing ..this nation is full of critics but no Doers and if one rise up out of blue they try their level best to over shadow efforts
Imran is the best option for Pakistan. Please accept this fact. Save Pakistan, give Imran a chance. It is a chance worth taking.
imran zindabad!!
MQM are relatively vegetable in the Pakistani market can any time be purchased as did by zardari.where as only imran can bring pakistan back on track.
