Does Imran Khan take independent decisions? No, he doesn’t. Yes, he is dictatorial in nature and adamant in instinct, yet happens to be superstitious in psyche. He has long been under the influence of spiritualists or mystics whom he had so far been following. Political wisdom does not recognize spiritual prediction. So Imran’s current move does not seem to be qualifying the political wisdom but the very strong predictions made by a number of known mystics, spiritualists, occult experts, numerologists and palmists, whose foretelling has been appearing in the print and electronic media from time to time.
The crux of their prediction was that till the end of October 2014, Nawaz Sharif shall remain in dire straits and Imran Khan has a big chance to grab this opportunity in his favour before that period. As Imran himself has many a time mentioned of his nine-year period of cycle throughout his life careers, he seems believing here too over the political wisdom that does not allow him to disrupt peace on 14th August, that too when the country, the nation, the armed forces and the government are fighting decisive battle against terrorists. By announcing joining him on 14th, Qadri has almost showed hijacking his show while he knows that Chaudhrys and other opportunists whom he hates the most are using Qadri for their political ends.
Leaders of mystic-influence stature and occult-calendar decision who refuse to follow the political wisdom often harm not only themselves, but also the party, the state, the country and the government. Wrong choices become right choices nevertheless borrowed. States can’t afford such like ‘statesmen’. Imran Khan’s game starts with the toss, but who will bat first? Imran himself? Qadri? Or Chaudhrys?
