Failure of Imran khan-PTI Tsunami
(Mohammad Imran, karachi)
Surprised to know that Imran,
who had categorically said prior to election in his speeches and interviews that
he would not make alliance with any other party, is now negotiating with PPP,
MQM & other parties to gain support to become opposition leader in the national
assembly. This is quite contrary to his slogans and principles, as he conveyed
to the public for creating a new Pakistan. I am sure if he had gained more
seats, he would certainly have tried to deal with other parties to be at the
apex of administration.
Khan the cricketer, turned politician, may still need to understand the politics
of our country where politics encircles around feudal lords due to their
influence, prevailing corruptions and lack of education among the masses; and
gain some rational wisdom and experience to chalk his manifesto, expressing his
visions to lead the people rather than raising hollow slogans to misguide the
public. Though he was able to stir the public opinion for the right cause of a
new beginning but failed due to variable reasons to deal with. With the current
party standing in the national assembly, he may not be suitable to fill the slot
of "opposition leader" and if succeeded may fail to deliver the needful.
If PML(N) can secure requisite number of parliamentarians from independent
candidates and do not make alliance with PPP, Imran may not be the opposition
leader as the one with majority will be nominated for that post.
Similarly, Sheikh Rasheed and other strong vocal candidates who had been
predicting different scenarios along with immature anchormen around the spectrum
of news media, have proved themselves wrong.
Though the election of May 11, may not be regarded an absolute fair and peaceful
as some remote atrocities and irregularities happened, but still the election
went reasonably well with high turn out and for that all involved in making it
happened deserve praise.
