Imran Khan, Tehreek-e-Ehtesab and Pakistan By: Farooq Zeeshan Raza
(Farooq Zeeshan Raza, Lahore)
Pakistanis are corrupt in
nature not only rich but also the poor, as far as today’s Pakistan is concern,
if not everyone but most of the Pakistanis are. Sorry it’s harsh but a bitter
truth. Yes to some extent it’s THE MEDIA but overall we are not doing any good
to us too. The whole world even Friends consider us as corrupt. Let’s take an
example, like if you have an aerial view you will see the color which is in bulk
or which is the base, it will look prominent on earth similarly when the whole
world sees us they see corruption because most of us are corrupt no matter rich
or poor. Please stop hiding behind Conspiracies.
Very few people in Pakistan talked or campaigned against corruption and I am
talking about known figures. One of them is Imran Khan (IK) who is fighting
against corruption continuously and pretty aggressively. And now a days IK
becomes a serious threat to corrupt mafias. Though he is successful to create
the awareness in the masses but it is not enough and to me the biggest reason is
lack of education, and related reasons are uneducated voter and the caste
system, harassment to the voters. IK’s Tehreek-e-Ehtesab is one of his efforts
against corruption and due to above mentioned reasons some media groups are
portraying his efforts as anti-government but actually it is pertinent to
understand that IK clearly mentioned many times that his anti-corruption efforts
are not against any single person or family or party it’s against corruption
itself. After a great start from KPK PTI’s Tehreek-e-Ehtsab is heading towards
other parts of Pakistan to educate people and create awareness against
corruption but some jurnos and media houses are trying to give the impression
that it is a failure or it is going to be a failed movement. One can understand
easily that how The Mafia is getting together against this movement and IK. And
actually it makes the support stronger for IK that all the mafia standing
against one. It gives the hope to the people that someone is still there to
fight for them. Either you support PTI or IK but one thing is for sure that his
stance is Right. Corrupt and Corruption should be curbed and penalized only then
Pakistan will flourish and it is only possible when the people of Pakistan
should be educated in a way that they know their rights and they stand for their
rights.
It is a tough task to create the awareness amongst the masses because as
mentioned earlier most of the people are corrupt and uneducated they think that
this movement of IK is against them they fear the consequences of their wrong
doings. So they are resisting pretty hardly YET! They are trying old tactics to
stop this movement of PTI by media management like IK’s corruption news or IK’s
personal life etc. But after ALLAH thanks to IK it’s because of him people are
much more aware of the matters now. IK on the other hand is determined as Rock
as ever. People criticize him for his seemingly weird decisions but until now
PTI under the leadership of IK proved to be the best opposition ever in the
history of Pakistan. PTI and IK are making their opponents worry and to some
extent made them panic now. The proof of it that central government and all the
provinces are under pressure to deliver in reality and not on papers only. It
seems that they are being pushed to deliver which is ultimately good for
Pakistan. In the past it was the practice in PPP and PMLN tenures that all the
development was made only on papers and still they are trying to play the same
game but this time PTI in opposition making a big difference and making their
dreams shattered.
But it is not enough and a lot of work still to do in this regard. And frankly
speaking IK is a big source of income for some of the media houses and some
jurnos. To his supporters, sympathizers and admirers it is enough that he is
determined and focused after all rubbish happening around and against him. May
ALLAH help those who are really struggling for Pakistan. Aameen.
Pakistan Zindabad.
