Suggestion for Imran Khan
Dear Sir,
Through your esteemed online paper, I would like to make humble suggestion to Imran Khan to revisit his basic ideology and change his political strategy accordingly.
When he launched Tehreek Insaf in 1996 he was disappointed with deliverance of justice in the country and so he named his party accordingly. A long struggle he went through and eventually managed to get himself acknowledged by the people of Pakistan, specially the youth of Pakistan who were totally disappointed with the existing actors of politics.
Imran Khan has been in power in the KP province for the last over two years. He has made attempt to set things right, particularly discouraging financial corruption, bringing discipline to governmental working, checking deforestation, trying to introduce merit in day to day working of the government institutions etc.
All this though commendable is still too little. Expectations from him were far beyond this performance at least. The frustrated people who extended frantic support him with all their might and commitment were expecting sweeping and revolutionary changes across the board. Hauling up corrupt people by the dozens and awarding exemplary punishment to them, complete abolition of VIP culture and display of humbleness and simplicity by one and all in the govt, starting from the Khan himself, were the least his supporters were expecting from him.
The PTI is slowly descending into the swamp of traditional election politics. If it continues like this, it may gain few extra seats in the next elections but would loose it's spirit n the bargain. Imran Khan should take the difficult but right decision to jump for a paradigm change in the country. He should openly declare support for a presidential system through a national referendum. He must also openly declare support for important but politically difficult national issues like Kalabagh dam etc.
I humbly advice Imran Khan not to try become another 'successful' politician of Pakistan, to the misfortune of his supporters. Instead become a statesman and a leader.
