I was in Pakistan recently. I visited streets, towns and cities. Talked with people on the ground. Out of many questions there was one that interested me the most: why common man hates Imran Khan? Logically speaking he is the most successful Pakistani and the greatest ambassador for Pakistan. He has lived a life of triumph and goodwill. Brought down an empire of corrupt ruling elite. Yet somehow people I talked didn't particularly like him. So what's the problem? Well most people said they didn't like the fact he had a child out of wedlock. Also many were under the impression that he married a Yehudia instead of a Muslim decades ago. Others were against his marriage with Pinki Peerni.
In other words no one I met had anything negative to say about Imran Khans politics. It all went down to his personal life which is frankly speaking of no concern to ordinary people. So why the focus on his personal life than politics? One word: PMLN.
This mafia of a party has not only corrupted the country financially during its 30 year rule, but also morally. It has brainwashed the masses into focusing on things that do not really matter, while distracting people away from things that matter the most. Unfortunately for Imran Khan, people that are mostly illiterate and very easy to manipulate, easily fall prey to pmln propaganda.
So what do we do now? We counter it with truth. We tell patwaris that having a child out of wedlock is not a crime, that marrying a Yehudi is not blasphemy and that Pinki Peerni is not just a fortune teller but Imran Khan legally wedded wife. If we manage to get this straight to Imran Khans haters we might be able to change their perception. After all a good anti dote to propaganda is a better propaganda. So let's start with accepting Turion Khan as Imran Khans first child who lives a happy life with her step brothers in England.
