I loved the cricketing IK more than anything in the 70s and 80s. All of my room was filled with his posters. I even copied his bowling action as an attack bowler for my team. Used to have a chip on my shoulder and consider myself a good-looking hero, that attracts the best of the best in women. I was his perfect disciple to the fullest.
Ahhh those were the days, when i started to mature, the fascist and intolerant tendencies in me subsided and started to come to the ground. Nevertheless, I wanted him to do politics, especially in PMLN. Both IK and MNS were close buddies for a few decades. Cutting the story short in later life i found him a Mohsin Kush and an ungrateful person from Majid Khan onwards, always backstabbing who helped him. I also found him utterly lazy, taking the easier route of always finding faults in others and not doing something greater than them.
And finally found him intellectually dishonest and not speaking the truth. The blonds were quick to find out but we are still struggling,
IK demands on a change in Pakistan, independent institutes, free and fair elections, justice, action against corruption, accountability, Pakistan first policy etc is correct. However he does lack in political maturity, and keeps switching sides. PTI is not political mature.
PTI has been screaming military/generals zindabad since the first big show in Lahore until IK was removed from power, PTI was even told by the establishment that they have 3 available options to choose from, PTI made it out like it was a threat but it wasnt, it was simply the 3 options IK had because he lost the majority in the parliament. PTI demanded military to take action against Pmln and PPP but doesn't want it to happen with PTI, during darnas pti was encouraging military to remove Nawaz and when judges removed him Pti celebrated Naya Pakistan but now PTI is stuck in the same hole, they spoke against corruption and dacoits but own party had the same people, now the same lotas stabbed them and only now they call them corrupt.
Nawaz Sharif was correct when he spoke against establishment for removing him, we all know they did but all PTI called Mian a traitor but PTI is doing the same. Pti refused to go for new elections but after IK removal they did long march for new elections, pti claims EC, PDM, Establishment are corrupt and rigg elections but still wants elections under the same people. That doesn't even make sense.
The people who are mature don't like these type of political manouvers, yes Nawaz and Zardari do the same but then why should people follow IK if he does the same.
PTI needs to sit down with the generals and sort out their differences regarding foreign relations, security etc, make a clear policy to change Pakistan, upgrade institutes, bring reforms and then go for free and fair elections, let the winner take it all.
