The people in general have very short memory and are mostly betrayed by emotions. But today's world is entirely different from the past history.
.
Same spent cartridges have been trying to befool the people by raising the hackneyed slogan of "change". But today's brave new world has the backing of information technology. It keeps a track record of every single word these so-called "leaders" utter. These proponents of so-called "change" stick with every successive government and whenever they see the government dwindling, they simply jump out of the sinking boat.
One such example is Jahangir Khan Tarin, who served as
Federal Minister of Industries, Production and Special Initiatives under General Pervez Musharraf.
This sycophant was once all praise for the former dictator when the Chief Justice was made dysfunctional by him in March2007:

Soon after 09 March 2007 (when Chief Justice was thrown out), Jahangir Khan Tareen declared that General Pervaiz Musharraf had become the most popular leader of the country due to "
excellent performance" in the domain of economic social development..... the opposition is scared of his popularity and intends to contain the process of progress being launched by the Government.
Jahangir Tareen also declared General Pervaiz Musharraf as a "
dynamic" leader!
Well, let us not forget that Imran Khan had been pleading the case of Justice Iftikhar Chaudhry against former dictator in 2007. Imran Khan also wanted to go to Karachi on 12 May 2007 but was restrained by the dictator's cronies.
What a joke, when the dictator's sycophant crony is inducted in PTI !!!
Jahangir Tareen is dirty filthy rich. Only a portion of his declared wealth is over Rupees 1000 Million. This person has a lust for power & money and he recently had a fight with his real brother-in-law Makhdoom Ahmed Mahmood over the ownership of a sugar mill:

He has hired a lobbying firm to manage his "image". His story of paying tax was much trumpeted by a few money-making journalists when he paid a tax of Rupees 19.3 Million on the assets of over Ruppees 1000 Million (1.9%). When the tax rate in a country is 20% to 35%, the rich wadera-turned-industrialist becomes "Mr Clean" by paying
tax @ 1.9%.
.
The history and reality of Jahangir Khan Tareen reveals that this
sugar baron was behind the
sugar scandal of 2003 when the prices were doubled due to acute shortage of sugar in the country. Pakistan faced sugar crisis in 2003 after many decades. He had a dispute with the provincial government due to his blackmarketing. He used General Musharraf to mediate:

Surprisingly, to have a face saving way, he protrayed his resignation as a different pretext and then continued to enjoy the ministry under the "dynamic" dictatorial rule.
What an irony that these turncoats (lotas) get a completely new lease of life to stay in "power" by changing loyalties!
