@Arsalan @Zibago @PakSword @Farah Sohail @The Accountant @QatariPrince @django @El_Swordsmen @newb3e @Path-Finder and fellow posters on this thread. Sorry for a little off topic in advance.
This was posted in another thread in response to Aamir Liaqats inclusion in PTI. Let me admit that my initial reaction after hearing it was completely opposite of the following analysis from a POV that why IK must have agreed on the matter.
Imran Khan, it seemed, had literally wasted his 20+ years learning Pakistani politics until the Senate Chairman elections. Some like me must have thought that such master stroke politics is unlike the straight forward political demeanour we usually associated with IK but this recent move is even beyond his master stroke in Senate Chairman election as it was done despite a lot of resistance from within the party.
First of all and in short, I HATE AAMIR LIAQAT so no love lost there, lol.
All those who think that this is an entirely Karachi specific move to include Aamir are welcome to defend and promote the thought without any challenge from myself.
I am contend with the temporary deathly silence of two PUNJAB specific foes of IK among the rest of his political foes who stand stumped by this move and may laugh it away till they grasp its purpose later in the game.
Are you guys there yet?
There is no doubt that this move is election specific and apart from being able to lend a helping hand in Karachi or not but is certainly going to
help generate a rear guard media based narrative against the free falling fatwas expected in election politics by Molvi Gali and his band of bad mouth molvis to which Bakvas Sharif shall have no answer but IK must be hoping that he shall be well equipped to surf such high waves with his counter narrative against zealots in the election campaign politics like a pro.
As a side note, remember that apart from Isb and Lhr dharnas, there was a sizeabledharna by TLYR in Khi also.
Besides the above, Aamir Liaqat is a master of character assassination that was the sole prowess of PMLN without an appropriate counter from PTI. Just looking at the mediocre response against Reham and Gulalai with the likes of Hanif Abbasi doing their dallali until Gulalai turned on Nawaz. Guess who's book is releasing soon...
IK has just turned an aggressive voice against himself into a temporary ally to breath down his opponents necks...and All sorts of opponents too. Just like he used the crook Zardari's lot to defeat the other crooks Senate Chairman candidate.
Imran Khan has come of age in Pakistan's Politics. All those who criticized IK for not knowing the basics of Pakistani politics stand stumped. The cry babies need no where else to look but their own leaders GEREBAN first.
I am sure that soon the likes of Salman Ahmed shall realize that it's only a political move and for all intended purposes, temporary still due to the nature of Aamir Liaqat himself.
@Realistic Change I would love to hear from you on the above. Apart from criticising PTI 's policy, whether I like the way it's done or not but I do commend IK's good political moves too.
