Imran Khan: The man who loves the poor

[GlobalVillageSpace]

Imran Khan is an outlier. At every stage of his life, he has never done the ordinary. Whether when he was playing cricket, leading the team, building his first cancer hospital, or launching the Namal knowledge city, it was beyond what was expected. It is no surprise then that when he stepped into politics and started his movement for justice, it would lead him to the Prime Minister’s office.

Nothing has come easy to him. His cricket career was unspectacular at its start. Dropped after his debut, he was out for 30 months. His first comeback was not much better. He had to go back to the nets, work really hard, remodel his bowling action, and come back a second time. This second coming led him right to the top as the game’s greatest all-rounders and one of the most successful and effective captains.

Here too, he fixed his sights on winning the world cup, and in his own words, “in the twilight of my career, I have won the world cup.” He didn’t just lead the Pakistan cricket team; he was also the key element in changing the game forever.


It was never enough for him to just beat the best teams in the world on their own ground; he wanted to do it in a manner that there were no questions about how those victories were achieved. As an influential captain, he demanded neutral umpires and got them. The game was truly transformed.

When he initiated the project to build a cancer hospital in memory of his mother, whom he saw suffer and die from the emperor of all maladies, he was advised to keep his ambitions in check and keep it to a small hospice facility.

That is not what Imran Khan had in mind. He wanted to build a large capacity research facility where the poor would be treated for free. Not only has he built that hospital in Lahore starting with his fundraiser in November 1989, but he has also built a hospital in Peshawar and Karachi.

but isnt that nawaj sharif?

Nawaj Sharif loves to make poor people poorer.

As for IK, people who hate him don't understand how great of a man he truly is, it is a shame that he is against so much garbage that has built up over the past few decades, there is only so much one man can do in the end. But having said that, I am somewhat disappointed in him for letting go of the fat turd, AKA Nawaj not-so-Sharif.

imran khan is an eloquent speaker but incapable administrator and all the mafias are doing whatever they want, the merit standers of IK, he found buzdar as CM of punjab question is would he appoint him CEO of Shokat khanam too??? i am sure he will never because he know the capabilities of buzdar but then why punjab???? is it a laboratory?? or a play ground ???

not really man
ایسی گاڑی انڈیا کی
پردھان منتری نریندر مودی کی نہیں
یہ 115 ارب ڈالر کے مقروض قوم کا شاہی بیوروکریٹ ہے۔
ہم پوری دنیا سے بھیک مانگ رہے ہیں کہ ہمارے سیاستدان اور بیوروکریٹ کے اخراجات پورے ہوں۔ ایک 17 گریڈ کے اسسٹنٹ کمشنر کو ہر سال نئے ماڈل کی گاڑی دی جاتی ہے۔ اس گاڑی کی قیمت 65 سے 70 لاکھ ہے ملک بھر میں 800 سے زائد اسسٹنٹ کمشنر تعینات ہیں۔ سالانہ لاگت تقریباً 6 ارب بنتی ہے۔ فیول کی قیمت بھی اربوں میں الگ سے۔ اور بدلے میں انکا کام سارا سال عوام کو تنگ کرنا اور رشوت خوری کرنا ہے۔
امریکہ اور یورپ میں کسی اعلی آفسر اور سیاست دانوں کو سرکار کی طرف سے گاڑی تو دور کی بات ایک لیٹر پٹرول بھی نہیں دیا جاتا۔
اب سب سمجھ آیا پاکستان کیوں برباد ہوا ہے اور ہو رہا ہے
خدا کی لعنت ہو خونخوار بیورو کریسی پر
