PTI’s role in Pakistani political scene cannot be ruled out in the existing setup of the country’s politics. Gone are the days when people considered this party of no significant value. It has spread its presence in the country with its message of message of peace and harmony, change, honesty and integrity. The main focus of PTI is to provide justice and eliminate corruption which have crippled our country. PTI says that it will give the real meaning to democracy ie, the government of the people, for the people and by the people, which has always been tarnished by our political parties.
The secret of success is the consistency to purpose. He is a man of substance. People have started taking him seriously in whatever he says or does. His political wisdom has been proven right many a time in the matters of national interest.
His political acumen was the main cause of his great success. Another feather in the cap for PTI is Imran Khan’ attending the World Economic Forum in Devos. It’s an achievement for PTI and Mr Imran Khan that they invited a person sitting outside parliament and no other prominent leader from opposition except Mr Imran Khan. What more PTI official could have asked for! The future of Pakistan can become bright and shine like a shinning star if people caste their votes to a righteous person and not sell their votes for money.
The time has come to think honestly and in a patriotic way before casting a vote. People should ask themselves whether they want a prosperous and healthy Pakistan or a disastrous Pakistan.

A lesson for all
The Indian city of Pune witnessed the worst road tragedy in its history last week when the driver of a Maharashtra State Corporation bus came from wrong side of the busy Pune-Solapur Road and went past smashing all types of vehicles on the way killing at least 9 persons and injuring 27 pedestrians, and ramming at least 40 vehicles.
The 30-year-old driver was reportedly in a violent mood and went berserk crushing several cars while driving his vehicle aimlessly in a crowded market at high speed over pedestrians.
The gruesome photos of this “Deadliest Road Rage” should be a wake-up call to traffic authorities everywhere. All big public utilities need to check the mental condition of their staff, especially drivers with “regular medical tests” to ascertain any medical problem.
Such situations can arise due to overworking, family problems or professional hazards. Also any kind of misperception can trigger off a psychopathic reaction in an already mentally disturbed person. To put them behind wheels is to give them a license to kill.
