With the crowds rising loud and high across the country in favour of Imran Khan, Pakistan Tehreek E Insaaf and the “anti-corruption” campaign, and the red, green and white colours swimming in the sea of people, the people have become quite hopeful for the betterment and progress of the country. “Finally” as some would call it, the savior has appeared. Everything doesn’t have to have a critical angle but the otherwise can also not be predicted to survive.
Imran Khan has quoted in his address to the people of Karachi on 25th December 2011 “I did not come here to criticize any other political party but to unite them all”. Uniting political wings that are known for their corruption and injustice, sums up to what possibly? Another grand alliance for further corruption? Or is it that Imran Khan is headed the same way? Let’s hope not.
But you can’t help it. A question clicks instantly when you, instead of being an IK-crazed fan, act as a judge and observer of the current scenario. The country is echoing with the slogans of “Kon bachayega Pakistan. Imran Khan, Imran Khan”. The baffling and somewhat depressing question that arises is “what if these statements are all they are? Merely statements. Empty words”.
As we know that everything that shines isn’t gold, but when you see something shining, that’s exactly what it seems to be. You cannot realize it’s actuality until and unless you are near and deep enough to see its every little detail.
From a critical angle, how can you plan to bring out a system of Islamic Khilafah from a political structure that was implemented upon us by the western powers?
IK has promised us freedom, justice, basic necessities of life. Let’s be honest, hadn’t everyone? Everyone who has had the chance to get a hold of that ragged piece of office furniture has given the same speech over and over again with little or grand changes in words because ragged though it maybe, it still grants you power beyond many others. There is no doubt that the speech delivered by Mr. Khan was inspirational and motivating. It was full of hope and a bright future. The imagination of such a system would lead us to the best life ahead. Let’s be emphatic on the word “imagination”. Sometimes you do have to see it to believe it.
The appearance of 500,000 people to show solidarity with the “savior” of this country is not also a sign of desperation but also of frustration, at the same time the demand and urge of a true leader, guide, a mentor. Leader as not in, merely to rule over us but to actually LEAD us. A single ray of hope has made the people get off their comfy couches and stand for hours in a plain ground. Desperation, because now anything that shines IS gold. The Pakistani nation frustrated, annoyed and maddened at the current establishment is attracted to the first thing that seems pure. Listening to Mr. Khan’s words, one’s heart fills up with the passion to do what? Elect him? Best that can be done?
Two questions that have always been in my mind:
1) Mr. Imran Khan, you claim to be representing the Pakistani nation and the country itself for a better future. Care to carry the Pakistani flag instead of a PTI one?
2) Why don’t you say it full front? Are you or are you not planning on bringing the Islamic Khilafah in the country?
We understand that the rights of the minorities are also of excessive importance within Pakistan, but just in case it has gone unnoticed, Islam grants them all those rights equally. If you truly are what we take you to be, know this, the nation stands with you.
It is exactly like Mr. Khan said this himself “Allah has fulfilled all my dreams so far, and now my dream in Pakistan”. If your hearts holds what your mouth says then there will be help and success eventually.
Lastly, can you all politicians please stop with having your songs composed and sung all over the place. It’s kind of annoying!
Pardon me for this is as harsh as a person can be about someone who should be appreciated but at times you have to go against your will and yearning besides it’s better to be surprised than to be disappointed.
P.S. Kashmir matters to us same as Balochistan; you might want to consider that.
