The tsunami of change is coming in this country, slowly but surely. This was proved by the hundreds of thousands of Pakistanis who came up with the slogan, “We want change, we want change” to the mausoleum of the Quaid to attend the rally of Imran Khan.
Pakistan is a country where millions of people live below the poverty line but at the same time millions of rupees are spent on the expenditures of our democratic leaders. There is neither electricity nor gas. The police and judiciary at lower level are completely corrupt. The accountability bureau is dominated by those in power. Heavy taxes are imposed on the poor, making them even poorer. The rate of unemployment is rising, causing more and more people to commit suicide.
All the elements needed for a change are present in this country. The only thing lacking was a proper leadership to lead the people towards a change. I neither see a change coming under the leadership of the Bhuttos nor the Sharifs. The only change I can see is under the leadership of Imran Khan. He has stood up against the status quo and for the freedom of expression and justice. Change can only come under the honest leadership of Imran Khan who has given this country the first cancer hospital. The time is not away when we can see a truly elected democracy in this country.
