[mughal arslan shah mirza]

Non-Pakistanis, please DO NOT vote. This is to see what percentage of Pakistani posters on PDF support Imran Khan and PTI.
Thankyou .
Also you can give your reasons as to why you support or don't support him.

So I gather that you disagree with his economic agenda on top of his domestic policies vis-a-vis the Taliban. What's the best political party for PAK today in your book and what sort of economic agenda do you want?
More market control or more state involvement?

Honest, straightforward, reliable, unmoved, strong, caring, brave, knowledgeable, trustable and of course still handsome and charming!

While Noora and Zardari families have become billionaires respectively. Of course they didn't loot anything from Pakistani treasury

Interesting. What do you like about his domestic and foreign policies ? Do you like his economic agenda?
Do you want market-oriented economy or more state-involvement?

He disagrees with everything that is IK. I get he even disagrees why IK was an all rounder instead of being just a bowler or a batsman

Interesting. What about his domestic and foreign policies do you like? Do you like his economic agenda?
Do you want market-oriented economy or more state-involvement?

Its all irrelevant. First he's gotta implement universal justice for all Pakistanis either by hook or crook. Once done, he's gotta enforce strictest tax laws in this country's history. Then bring back 200+ billion dollar worth of Pakistani money and assets stashed in foreign bank accounts. If IK is successful so far, our treasury would have become independent from IMF, World Bank loans and thus can go on with its own economic policy that would be market-oriented with very little state-intervention. Pakistan could follow Chinese model as its better than Western free-market economy.

I like Imran Khan, I don't like his religious ideologies and his bias towards his tribal people.

 

[WishLivePak]

Technically, we all support Imran. But his goals have been tarnished by people around him. Sheikh Rasheed, chaudhary brothers, Quershi and so forth.

So I'm against him for listening to them. But deep inside, he does want best for Pakistan.

Interesting points. So you want independence from IMF and like the Chinese model which is still pretty interventionist to be honest with you. This sounds like you would want lots of state-intervention. But you cherish the 'market' more, I gather?

I'm curious to know what sort of economic agenda most of PTI's core supporters want.

exactly my sentiments for disliking Imran.
Imran says only 200 honest people can make Pakistan yet he dont know who to choose to stand on his left and right and whisper non-sense in his ears which becomes his speech and policy for that day, next day is just another story.

 

[mughal arslan shah mirza]

It seems to me that Imran can't be assessed on the basis of economic platform/agenda like let's say the PPP can.
His program is pretty varied.

I like Imran Khan, I don't like his religious ideologies and his bias towards his tribal people.

My only confirmed issue with IK is his rigid stance on Khatm-e-Nabuwat aka. Qadianis. Either he is a fool or cannot grasp the fact that Qadiani leaders were main proponents behind Pakistan movement that created Pakistan in the first place. This fact was acknowledged by Jinnah when he gave the most important ministry of an emerging nation: Foreign Ministry of Pakistan to a Qadiani, namely Chaudhry Zafrullah Khan. Ironically, it was he who wrote a memorandum (Pakistan Declaration) in 1940 that eventually led to establishment of Pakistan:

Upon my instruction Zafarullah wrote a memorandum on the subject. Two Dominion States. I have already sent it to your attention. I have also asked him for further clarification, which, he says, is forthcoming. He is anxious, however, that no one should find out that he has prepared this plan. He has, however, given me the right to do with it what I like, including sending a copy to you. Copies have been passed on to Jinnah, and, I think, to Sir Akbar Hydari. While he, Zafarullah, cannot admit its authorship, his document has been prepared for adoption by the Muslim League with a view to giving it the fullest publicity.

— Lord Linlithgow, April 12, 1940

So that's it. Qadianis help built Pakistan, and are today treated as treacherous outcasts. They even had their own military battalion in Pakistan Army called 'Furqan Force' which fought for the independence of Kashmir between 1947 - 1950:

The Furqan Force or Furqan Battalion was a uniformed fighting force of volunteers (khuddam-i-din) in newly formed Pakistan, composed of the minority Ahmadiyya branch Muslims. Formed in June 1948 at the direction of Ahmadiyya leader Mirza Mahmood, at the request of Pakistan government, the unit fought for Pakistan against India in the First Kashmir War. In addition to its troops being drawn from the Ahmadiyya population, the expenses of maintaining the unit were also paid by that community.

The unit was disbanded on 7 June, 1950. Following the anti-Ahmadiyya Lahore riots of 1953, a Pakistani court of inquiry cited the Furqan Battalion in discussions of the Ahmadi role in Pakistani society.

Furqan Force - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

With such huge contributions, this ignorant Khan is backing terrorist Jamaat-e-Islami's version of Maududiat which is full of anti-Qadiani bigotry.

So I'm against him for listening to them. But deep inside, he does want best for Pakistan.

Change of heart?

Interesting points. So you want independence from IMF and like the Chinese model which is still pretty interventionist to be honest with you. This sounds like you would want lots of state-intervention. But you cherish the 'market' more, I gather?

No, check out socialism with chinese characteristics. Its a form of State Capitalism:
Socialist market economy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Only problem with this model is that it's devoid of any religious values. An alternative model of capitalism with Islamic values can be adapted as happened in Germany after WW2:
Social market economy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This should be best fitting for IK's end goal for Pakistan: Establishment of a Muslim Welfare State!

If IK wants to copy best governed economic states of the world, he should follow Nordic Model, which is similar to above social market economy:

Imran lives in the 18th century, he thinks that even today Tribal can fight a well organized and heavily equipped TTP and its affiliates. He does not have the intellect to analyze anything, he is comparing early 19th century warfare with riffle and swords with today's high tech warfare. He is opposed to Army's intervention in the tribal area and he does not realize that most tribal men today are either working in the middle east or in Karachi making a living and mostly woman, children and elders are left in there to fight TTP, yet he keep insisting on removing the army and leaving those woman children and elders at the mercy of TTP.

Imran is a bad choice for Pakistan on internal policies, he does not have an economical policy so we cant comment on it. PTI govt has taken some good administrative steps in KPK but thats not enough to run a country in current situation.

Stop fooling around!

Its better to have "some" administrative steps than to have no steps at all as we have currently with Nawaz.
