Imran Khan’s recent press conference about his assets was a needless spectacle thrown together in true showman style. Come every election, each and every politician is supposed to declare his/her assets with the Election Commission of Pakistan and is bound to do so by law. Imran Khan just staged this to grind the massive axe that he has with PML(N) and PML(N) did not disappoint by falling for his bait and Ch Nisar conducting an immediate press conference in its reply.
We cannot deny that clean politicians are the need of any healthy democracy but corruption is a structural malaise that is not as widespread as some would have us believe. It can be combated by doing and not just loud rhetoric. If Imran Khan really wanted to flex his muscles on some issue, maybe he should have done so on some substantive policy matter rather than engage PML(N) in this battle for cheap populist rhetoric.
