and you think Nawaz, Zardari and Musharaf rule this state alone right ? When nawaz comes into power we say above things... when BB comes into power we say above things... when Musharaf comes into power we say above things... now IK chances will come into power we say above things... the problem is we always dependent on PERSONALITIES not POLICIES AND AGENDA!
Nawaz Zardari and all others who rule this nation with the help of all those people who are right now in PTI and coming towards PTI. That what reality!
So we condemn Imran without giving him a chance when we are pathetic enough to give the most corrupt person a chance to become president of the country and ruin its economy and industry?
Think again Stealth.
I really do not think you are spot on here since our rulers actually have been dictators and do not listen to the saner heads in their party.
Musharraf was a dictator and made a lot of bad decisions but few good ones as well.
It was not Kasuri who ordered him around, yet Kasuri is a lot more experienced than Hina Rabbani Khar, he can perform very well under a leader who wants to make choices based on Pakistan's interest.
Nawaz was also from same mold even if under garb of democracy.
The fact that Nawaz was more interested in furthering his business ventures and building a princely dynasty for his family caused a lot of damage.
The "qarz utaro Mulk sanwaro" scheme and freezing of foreign currency accounts really destroyed his credibility.
His stubbornness is legendary.
That is why he lost Hashmi.
Remember that it is Nawaz Sharif's stupidity and hard hardheadedness that he did not ally his party with PML-Q over the presidency election and look what happened?
We have the worst person as our president!
Zardari is playing games to save his seat but when it comes to looking after the country, hardly any decision is being made at all.
This trend of playing games has now seeped down on all levels of his party and you can practically see all of them playing games and giving statements without any work being done at all.
If you think that leaders do not shape the direction their party actually takes then that is not correct, it is because of leaders that party does or does not perform.
Only Jinnah could become Quaid e Azam and had he not come back there would be no Muslim League despite a clear mandate and lots of other big names, you cannot discard the fundamental role a leader plays in taking his followers onwards.
If the leader makes one corrupt decision (Rental Power Plants etc.) he can do a damage of hundreds of million dollars.
If the leader is not corrupt, at least we can save a lot of precious money and use it elsewhere.
The people who have so far joined PTI are mostly the better lot of our politicians and are not abject failures like the ones appointed in key positions in government these days.
If Imran remains strong and cultivates a culture of accountability and performance in his party, do you really care whether Qureshi or Kasuri are the harbingers of change rather than an unknown face?
What I want is to have a political party with an honest and patriotic party head who has a sense of responsibility towards Pakistan and its people.
This criteria currently only Imran fills in my book and that is why he shall have my vote.
What is the agenda of PPP? Roti, Kapra, Makaan...I see all these going down the drain.
What is the agenda of PML-N?
Do they fulfill the agenda that is declared by them?
If yes, then please vote for them...that is your choice.
Otherwise we need to send a message of our dislike for fooling the nation which both these parties are doing under their current leadership.
Actually the problem with our country has been the very convenient resetting of our political system every decade or so, makes accountability zero and this coupled with the amnesia our nation undergoes actually gives a free ticket to exercise extreme corruption.
We oscillate between dictatorship and democracy and therefore have the worst of both these systems and yet the poor performers always cite the problems carried on by the previous system as the bottleneck which they have to overcome.
This constant transition state needs to end.
We need to actually sustain the five year elected governments for 2 decades in order to ensure that this blame game ends and performance is only tied to intention and execution rather than giving a convenient bag of excuses to the leadership in terms of restarting the system from scratch.
If Imran does not perform, then we shall look elsewhere.
However to discard him beforehand will actually inhibit the political growth of Pakistan.
A key thing to remember is that most workers of Muslim league under Quaid e Azam were youth and students.
The energy and zeal of youth is not to be underestimated and if Imran manages to harness this zeal and energy in a positive direction, we certainly have a lot of potential.
I do not need grand slogans and manifestos since sadly the current situation is not due to a lack of manifestos in Pakistan.
The current issue is of very self centered corrupt leaders who take each and every decision based on their own betterment.
I do not count Imran as a corrupt person and as long as he is in charge of PTI, i do not expect it to perpetrate massive corruption without any check.
No body is an angel, but I for one am not failing to see that Imran's biggest strength (honesty) is what Pakistan needs at the moment.
He may not have the solution to every problem, but if elected he may solve our biggest problem these days....namely having a corrupt tareen leader on top of a major political party and our government, calling the shots.
It is not our system which is a failure, it is a deliberate intent to not implement the system from top which results in colossal damage to our country.
I do not expect miracles but i certainly do not want to discard Imran and PTI just yet.
