8 Reasons Why Pakistan Needs Imran Khan to Become the Next Prime Minister

[Patriots]

The kind of moronic and idiot nation we've become, we need someone like Altaf Hussain to rule us. Only then we might, we just might have a chance to have our eyes opened and get somewhere as a nation.

We are a dead nation, a nation who tolerated a world wide recognized thug like Zardari to represent this country for full 5 years, then again elected another thug like Nawaz who openly supported Zardari for 5 years just to get his own turn. We don't deserve Imran Khan or anyone better than him.

I have given example of Nelson Mandela not Nawaz, Zardar & Altaf ...........

 

[Dubious]

He looks good. Vote for him guys!

BTW, People say I ruin everything I support, especially political parties and football teams to a degree that my friends force me to cheer for the team that they don't like so it loses. I never cheered for a football team who won afterthen.

So, what do you think guys, shall I be a fan of Imran Khan?

jinx

PML is ruling party in Punjab and federation. There are probably some 50 ministers, near the amount of seats PTI has in KPK assembly.

Yes there are some bad apples but it doesn't mean all ministers are bad. The recent Punjab minister who got killed was also a good man.

Hahaha Some "Bad Apples"
Let's see

Rana Sanaullah: Tried to derail and hide Kasur incident.Said it was a land dispute when over 280 children were affected.Is this guy even a Human? I don't know.Model town massacre is also on his shoulders.The officer that is made head of JC for inquiry of Kasur incident is himself involved in it.There is also another PMLN MPA that is DIRECTLY involved in this case but till today there has been no reports of any investigation from him.

Khawaja Saad Rafique: Already proved that he won election by rigging.It was proved by court itself.Removed from post for about a month until this matter got cooler and then again appointed as Railway minister.Sar e Aam exposed the weapons and drugs smuggling from railway and instead of ordering inquiry of this matter.This man lodged a fake FIR against Sar e Aam team.

Khawaja Asif: What else can this man do except barking against the army? I never understood his role in the cabinet anyway.

Ishaq Dar is atleast better than all of the above.Over all the main cabinet is a failure so you can think of the lower MPAs and how "Sincere" they really are.

Abbey janglee... If you ever called Pakistan beghairat infront of me you'd be knocked out on the street, you dumb PTI beggar. Screw PTI in the ***, like I give a shit about a terror sympathizing party.

Nawaz Sharif is actually doing something for the country, rather than Imran Khan who is whining about why he did not get the PM-ship.

You POTI retards are not Pakistani. You should be deported back to Britian, the whole lot of you, as well as reham and Imran. Imran Khan says he is for democracy, but plots everyday to destroy it on his holier than thou attitude. He brings in lotas from every party and then claims he'll bring in change. He supports murderers, criminals, corrupts in his party and kicks out loyal members. Tbh this man is a curse.

This guy is the product of the army dictatorships, who think they can rewrite Pakistani constitution every 2 years.

Yes yes everyone who disagrees with you is not Pakistani and must really be a Mossad/RAW/CIA agent.. lol

silly cliche nonsense regurgitated by naive juveniles

Out of all the Pakistani politicians, if anyone has the most right to preach 'holier than thou', its Imran Khan. And lets not talk about 'product of army dictatorships'; in a country that has seen more years of army rule than civilian rule, almost every single politicians as some ties to the dictatorships. So as far as 'product of dictatorships' label goes, no one can wear that badge more proudly than Nawaz Sharif who sits in the PM House currently.. n I'll pick Imran Khan over him any day.

Beyghairat will be called beyghairat if they keep electing crooks to rule of the country and then crying crocodile tears as to why Pakistan continues to suffer..

Look how railway, economy and many other things are improving. It's not due to Nawaz, it's due to his ministers.

Railway? The only thing that has happened is that they run on time, or else nothing has been done to improve the structural flaws or infrastructure of the Railways. This is why this resulted in the derailing of the train not to long ago, because such meagre funds were allocated.

Economy is not improving by any standards. Exports are down, circular debt is back to an all time high, corrupt deal making is at an all time high, electricity prices and gas prices have been raised, GST has been raised, Government borrowing is at an all time high and the Government is purchasing LNG at a very high rate compared to other countries. The only relief that the Government received was that the price of oil has been reduced from $140/barrel to $50/barrel, which gave the Government a relief of $4 to $5 billion.

I have no idea who these amazing Ministers are, because i don't remember the Sharif family having an educated Economist . Here's a rule of thumb, if a Finance Minister celebrates how much money he was able to borrow abroad, that's a sign the economy is not performing well.

Yes, but million dollar question is, can Imran with a team composed of Jahangir Tareen, Aleem Khan, Perwaiz Khattak, and dozens of other 'experienced' turncoats will be able to fix all this? In my humble opinion, no. It does not matter anymore who wins the elections and runs the country. They are all thieves, some are big others a relatively small. Thieves do what thieves do so the country will continue to drag. Pakistan, so long these thieves and their dynasties (welcome to Imran/Reham and their offspring as yet another one) are intact, is a lost case.

Even if we apply your logic that all are "Thieves" and some are big and some are small even then the best option is Imran Khan because in this case he is the smallest thief.Or is there anyone who you think is more smaller thief than Imran? Please don't even try to mention Zardari Altaf Nawaz Shahbaz even blind and deaf people know that these thieves are much bigger than Imran.

So according to your argument No party currently in Pakistan is or will be able to perform well.Then are you in favour of Martial law? What do you propose is Pakistan's best option?

So who do you suggest we choose? what are our options other than PTI?

You guys on this thread obviously want Pakistan to not grow.White British girls to move to Pakistan and everyone parties and gets drunk (great idea). The 20-30 thousands of young "mobsters" will come out with holding "full cigarettes" if you know what I mean and some bottles and condoms to enjoy the democracy. So from this such a complex national agenda's stand point, you have no other option. The 20 or 30 thousand of you, should bring up PTI and form their own government.....in your mind. When you wake up, please go to school or to work as nations are made out of hard work. Not fantasy democracy.

[Viper0011.]

There is no best option. Pakistan is a lost case. Leave it ASAP.

I have the BEST team that can run Pakistan. Just a few people and no corruption guaranteed. Allow me to call "The Avengers"!!! These people will change the destiny of Pakistan, will kick out all foreign citizens in politicians or politicians with wives and children in other countries like the UK as safety net. These few people will fix the economy, the defense, the intolerance and will turn the nation around. The Avengers are the answer to the world's problems!!

 

[Barefoot Soldier]

The general is a security guard, nothing more.

The "scientist" AQ Khan is a fraud, a liar, a thief, a smuggler and simply a rude/pathetic person who verbally abuses other prominent pakistani scientists who have made even bigger contributions than him.

Lolzzz.....buddy ur thoughts r awsome I can't match up wd u.....

Nine reasons I no longer support Imran Khan

I had always admired Imran Khan. Even though I knew his party would not win in my constituency, I stood in line and voted for the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) candidate. But what has happened recently in the country has convinced me that Imran Khan is not suitable to be the country’s top leader and I have my reasons to believe so:

1. He is not consistent. He first accepted the results of the general elections, and then a year later claimed they were massively rigged.

2. He continues to backtrack. First he wanted elections only in four Punjab constituencies (one of which was not won by Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz – PML-N), ignoring the fact that even if his party had won the four seats, they would still have been in the opposition.

Each day he raised new demands, until finally he claimed the prime minister should resign. Even if the prime minister does resign, his replacement will also be from PML-N, so how would that change the situation?

3. Even though all other political parties (including his allies, the Jamaat-e-Islami – JI) have not supported his stance, he continues to rant and rave, like a kid who has been deprived of his candy. Surely no one can respect such a politician?

4. He continues making wild allegations against the former chief justice, former chief election commissioner (both of whom he admired even after the elections). He also claimed that a brigadier was involved in the rigging, yet he has refused to name him. Mature politicians, in civilised countries, measure their words carefully before making such accusations.

5. His antics have only served to make his party very unpopular. No politician the world over would ever ask people not to pay taxes or utility bills, in a quest for civil disobedience. In all countries, such an act would be considered treasonable. Thankfully, most people have disregarded his request and even one of his own close confidants paid the due sales tax this month. Imran Khan fails to comprehend that if people in PTI-run province of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P) stopped paying taxes, the government there would collapse in no time.

6. Imran Khan even said that if his party came to power it would not pay its debts to international donors. This immediately led to the cancellation of the IMF delegation’s visit to Pakistan. How will world leaders ever trust such a man who does not care a damn for the country’s interests? Two world leaders have already cancelled their trips to Pakistan, and it is doubtful if the Chinese president will want to come if the dharnas continue.

7. A couple of times he has hinted that he wants to become the next prime minister. That, of course, let the cat out of the bag. If your only interest is to become prime minister, Mr Khan, why have you held the country hostage for the past 10 days? Why have you caused irreparable damage to Pakistan just because you want power? Why can’t you wait until the next elections? Or do you think if you continue damaging the country, the army will intervene and put you in the driver’s seat?

8. He and his party members have sent resignations to the National Assembly speaker, but strangely, they refuse to resign from the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P) assembly. Why? Is it because remaining in power in one province gives them perks and privileges they would rather continue to enjoy?

9. And lastly, will his National Assembly members return the millions they took from the government during the past 16 months? I would be very surprised if they do.

8 Reasons Why Pakistan Needs Imran Khan to Win Elections and Become the Next Prime Minister

Posted by: Amad 21 hours ago

My title encapsulates a critical message. It frames Pakistan needing Imran Khan, not the other way round. Of course, Imran needs Pakistan for his sense of identity and belonging, but he does not need Pakistan or its top job for personal enrichment or popularity. This itself sets Imran Khan apart from most other politicians. Imran has been blessed with more wealth and fame than most could ask for. On the other hand, nearly every other Pakistani leader has used government positions to plunder the nation's limited resources. You would have to dig deep to find a leader in Pakistan's checkered history whose sincerity can not be questioned, or who did not enrich him/herself while in government.

How is this is a “Muslim matter” or perhaps how this is relevant to the MM audience, most of which resides in the West? I think both the questions are relatively easy to answer. Pakistan is one of the largest and one of the most troubled Muslim nations in the world, which has– unfortunately– become a hotbed of radicalism and “private” (not government sponsored) exporters of terrorism. Pakistan also receives extra attention from the USA, both in handouts and the murders of its citizens via drone attacks. There is also a big diaspora of Pakistanis that reside in the West; that sees Imran Khan as its last hope for removing Pakistan from a dark abyss, that seems to be growing deeper by the day.So here are the top reasons why Pakistan needs Imran Khan as its next Prime Minister:

1.

Imran is the only politician running for the top job whose honesty and truthfulness cannot be disputed. Pakistan's politics is especially dirty, yet the minions of other parties have not been able to find a single area in which Imran cheated others financially or acquired funds illegally. This in itself is quite marvelous. When one reaches Imran's level of influence, one can only imagine the countless opportunities he must have had to enrich himself beyond imagination.
But, he did not.He has also kept all his assets in Pakistan and is one of the first to openly declare his assets.

2.

Imran has a track record of sincerity to Pakistan. It was only 20 years ago that Pakistan did not have a single cancer hospital, let alone a hospital that would treat all patients regardless of their financial condition; consider Shaukat Khanum Memorial Hospital. The only cancer hospital where the majority of funding its annual budget of $58 million is donations. A hospital that was not sponsored by any major organization or relief fund; that treated over 150,000 patients in 2012 including over 50,000 radiation treatments (source). Watch this documentary to enrich yourself. This hospital speaks more for Imran Khan than any other stump speech or campaign promise.

3.

Imran is not afraid to speak his mind; and does not shy away from taking the Western powers to task for the “war on terror”, referring for example to the “lies and deception connecting Saddam to Al-Qaeda”. See these two videos (excuse the corny background music in the first one): Video-1 and Video-2

4.

Imran has not made himself subservient to international powers. Global powers, including the West need Imran Khan, just as much as Pakistan needs him, as a partner for peace and prosperity. While it may appear beneficial in the short-term for the West to have another house-slave in the PM House (whether from Pakistan Muslim League or Pakistan People's Party), this will inevitably fail in the long-term when the party is not sincere to the people. These house-slaves can kiss up to the West and promise to do this or that, but unless they have a mandate from the people, the solutions will only be superficial and are bound to unravel. With Imran Khan, the powers to be will know that he will negotiate on an equal footing of integrity and mandate and will get the respect a leader deserve. Consider the example of China, tt bows to no one, yet a strong China has become the economic engine of the world–without which the West would have also suffered greatly.

5.

Pakistan has become a hotbed of radicalism and terrorism. It is obvious that whatever has been tried over the last 10 years is not working. In fact, the situation worsens by the day. A military solution cannot be imposed. Most Pakistani radicals–Pakistani Taliban or others– are not terribly concerned about attacking the West, but rather they are concerned about their own living conditions, their integrity and honor. When drones take out their entire families, that itself foments radicalism. As Imran has often said, terrorism is not a religion or a nationality or an ethnicity. It is an idea, and ideas need to be defeated in people's minds with words, not with bullets.

6.

It is Imran's turn now. All other major parties have had their shot. Nawaz Sharif (Imran's main rival from PML-N) is kicking and screaming about how he can fix everything if only he had one more chance. Let's personalize this, if you had a supposed friend who betrayed you five times (number of leadership opportunities Nawaz has had), each time making you worse off than the previous time, would you be ready to give him another chance? Not only did Nawaz squander previous opportunities and large mandates to “fix Pakistan”, he actually joined hands with the last plunderer Zardari in a “unity government” that effectively destroyed Pakistan over the last 5 years.

7.

Imran has proven himself to be a “great” leader outside politics, and can become the prime minister that Pakistan needs. Think about it. If you wanted someone to speak on your behalf on the great stages of the world, who would you want to be on your team? There is something to be said about “great leaders” versus “good leaders”. Great leaders have a charisma that attracts good people; great leaders are the ones you can rely on, count on in difficult times, who you can trust. Imagine, as a Pakistani (or from the diaspora), Imran Khan addressing the United Nations assembly as Pakistan's leader— imagine the pride swelling up within you to hear an articulate, honest leader representing you. Would not it be amazing to have someone who does not embarrass you to be a Pakistani among non-Pakistanis?

8.

Imran is a true role model for “moderate Muslims”. He does not shy from referring to Islamic principles and ideals. Even in 1992 before he entered politics, he wasn't shy of referring to Islamic ideals in an interview on 60 minutes. His response to whether he felt hopeless about Pakistan was that “hopelessness is a sin in Islam”. Over and over again, on his campaign trails, in his stump speeches, he has referred to the sīrah (Prophetic history) to take inspiration for himself, and to inspire others. He talked about the Prophet 's suffering in Mecca and how the Prophet never gave up and kept the fight for justice.

On the other hand, Imran Khan's party (PTI) includes all levels of Muslims and non-Muslims and piety and religiosity are not prerequisites to be in his party. This sets his party apart from Jamaat e Islami or Ikhwaan in Egypt. PTI is not an “Islamist party”. When the majority of Pakistanis do take inspiration from Islam, it is important that their leader represent that strain, and not be shy about referring to Islamic principles in leadership. This is no different from the American elections where candidates routinely refer to their religious background for inspiration and ideals.

I am sure many of those who are not enamored with Imran Khan may quip that most of what I have said is about Imran's personality and enigma, and nothing substantial about policies and politics. And they would be mostly right.But you see when your starting point is between an honest man and a crooks and liars, we could talk day and night about whose policies would be better, but in the end great policies run by crooks and liars will invariably fail like a house of cards!

We are not talking about electing between Jinnah and Iqbal (Pakistan's illustrious independence leaders). Not even close. Imran's supporters are not oblivious to the fact that Imran Khan is a political novice, perhaps too much of an idealist, perhaps too honest for his good (if there is such a thing), but we have to consider the alternatives. We have to be realistic here.
If nothing else, Pakistanis can count on Imran Khan to work for them every day, to be on their side everyday, to represent them inside top-level meetings (with internal and external players) the same way as he said he would on the outside. If nothing else, he would make people like me, those who have adopted other nationalities and love other nations, to once again “feel Pakistan”; to once again feel that we could make financial investments in Pakistan, if only because we believe in Imran. There are many, many like me, who genuinely believe this.I firmly believe that Imran Khan is Pakistan's last hope, and if Pakistanis don't jump on this opportunity that Allāh has blessed them with, then they deserve whatever they get with the alternatives.

Pakistan needs Imran Khan.
To the people of Pakistan: Let Pakistan have Imran Khan.
