2013 is going to be the election year in Pakistan. There is a lot of
political hip hop in Pakistan at the moment. Pakistan People’s Party has
been in power for a record 5
th time in history of Pakistan
and have ruled us in last five years. Looking at the inflation,
unemployment, war on terror impacts on Pakistanis and especially the
energy crisis in Pakistan, PPP has failed miserably in governance. Imran
Khan has become a self proclaimed messiah of the doomed nation in the
mean time. I have impartially considered him to see if he deserves my
vote, and the answer my analysis as a layman brings forward is a big NO.
Here are my reasons to say No to Imran Khan’s Change.
- Imran Khan a rolling stone???
Pakistanis have loved Imran Khan deeply. There were slogans like
“Lion of Pakistan, Imran Khan, Imran Khan” in the 1980s which I remember
from my childhood. What was the back ground? Did Imran present the
country’s budget? No. Was it some meeting with a foreign delegation for
future direct investment? No. Was he involved in preparing the country’s
defence plan? No. Then what was the source of love and respect he
gained? Oh now I remember. He was a sportsman. One of the best ones in
his field. He is from a family of cricketers, and he has spent 45 years
of his life becoming an expert in Cricket. One fine day he decides to
sort out the social, legal, governance, health, poverty, employment and
defence related problems of Pakistan and that makes me laugh. A person
who has all his life’s experience in Cricket considers himself better
for running a country? Too optimistic and kiddish. Is Imran a rolling
stone not? Who will gather no moss?
- Imran Khan’s language-do I want my representative to speak like he does nowadays?
Not at all. With power comes responsibility. This is especially true
if you are an elected member of national assembly. A person who
ridicules his opponents (well till the time they remain his opponents)
with language not worthy of it, how will he treat the people if he ever
comes in power? What happened to the decent Imran Khan we knew? Or was
the “Finally “I” managed to win the world Cup” speech is just his
nature? His language is most definitely my reason of NOT voting for him.
- Imran Khan’s focus-why is it adjusted on Punjab only?
One major thing that makes me believe Imran Khan is not a good choice
for my vote is his extreme focus on Punjab. An unbiased review of the
performance of all 4 provinces in last 5 years will prove that Punjab
Government has launched a lot many projects for public benefit in
comparison to the other 3 provincial governments and the federal
government put together. In Punjab the 2010 floods were tackled much
better in terms of relief in comparison to Sindh where flood water of
2010 is still standing in some low lying areas. Im sure Punjab can be
run much better than this, but in the given circumstances it still
happens to be the most well managed province in Pakistan. Why Imran Khan
is NOT concerned about any other part of Pakistan? The people dying in
target killings daily in Karachi are not Pakistanis? The Hazara shias
being killed in Quetta are not Muslims? The people killed by Taliban and
other extremists in KPK are not Humans? Why is his concern and
criticism only focused on Punjab? Makes me believe Imran has no plan for
Pakistan. Whatever he is planning is only for Punjab. This makes him
unfit to get my vote as premiere of Pakistan.
- Imran’s politics is too bookish
Pakistan is a complex socio-political region. We are not simple
people to deal with. There are forces like religion, economics and
social pressures of very different kinds that shape our daily lives. I
find Imran Khan’s solution to our problems very bookish. Who in his
right senses would claim he would end the war on terror on his first day
in office? Or that he can root out corruption in this culture within 9
days? This society is no Europe or USA. Imran seems to know very little
about the nation he claims to be the savior of.
- Imran’s followers and their “holier than thou” attitude
Something is wrong with Imran and his followers. I searched for
information myself but couldn’t find any information related to how
Imran Khan earns. Also, it looks like he never filed a tax return all
his cricketing life. Amazing is the fact that Imran still points out
others for not paying taxes. What can you think of a person who does not
follow a rule, but wants others to follow? I do not want a person with
this double standard to be my leader. Imran’s followers have every right
to like him, but no right to disrespect other leaders. They follow
Imran and use foul language. They go to the level that they declare you a
non patriot if you don’t like Imran. Is Imran some kind of “farz”? No.
And this attitude is trickling down from his own person to his
followers. He considers himself better for no reason and after
committing the same mistakes others do, he screams at top of his voice
what others are doing. Again. Kiddish. Again, NO!
- Imran’s zana case, and allegations on SKMH funds misuse
Being a Muslim do I really want a playboy of his youth to be my
leader? No. Imran had an illegitimate daughter borne to Sita White. The
kid in now in guardian custody of Jemima James, Imran’s ex wife. Though
the court in USA has declared her to be Imran’s daughter where Sita
White won the parental rights case against Imran, Tyrian Khan’s eyes are
enough proof of her being Imran’s daughter. Being a playboy all his
life, he has had a lot of illegal relationships out of wedlock with a
number of women. The story does not end here. Imran Khan proves himself
to be a hypocrite when he points fingers at others for looking at a
woman. A recent press conference where he demanded from Nawaz Sharif the
PML (N) chief to confirm if he has been loyal with his wife is
something disgusting. This s disgusting not because of the cheapness of
question, but because of the fact that the cheapest of all playboys is
asking the question! Imran, a hypocrite-NO to him yet again!
Recently Khwaja Asif from PMLN has brought forward this issue of
funds of zakat from SKMH being invested outside Pakistan. The
information comes from the audit report of SKMH, so it cannot be a scam.
SKMH is a great initiative by Imran Khan which he achieved by th
support of all Pakistan. Doesn’t we deserve an explanation about this
funds misuse? No explanation till now. Zakat funds CANNOT be used for
investment. I have been donating to SKMH till this issue came to
limelight and no one has ever asked me at SKMH collection booths about
the money if it is zakat or not. The funds received are thus a mix of
zakat and other donations and cannot and must not be misused. Imran can
betray the people who stood by him for making this hospital a reality.
Imran can take the credit of winning the World Cup alone when it was a
squad of 16 who did it. Imran can betray his mother’s name in SKMH
scams. Is he trust worthy then? NO.
- Imran has no plan but allegations and statements only
Whenever I have tried to see Imran Khan’s point of view from a
neutral point of view I have always found he has no plan. He knows
nothing about how things work in Pakistan. All he can do is bringing
forward more and more allegations. This style of work might be good for a
Star Plus daily Soap but Pakistan for sure needs better workable plans.
He brings forward allegations, claims to have proofs, never brings
forward the proofs. So, is it all a hoax? Looks like that other wise he
would have shown something-anything which can be considered as a proof
in last 15 years. Indecent attitude- A big NO to Imran Khan.
- Finally, Imran’s Team and his Change
Since we started having general elections in Pakistan, we have seen
Kasuris, Tareens. Legharis-What’s new then? Where is the change? Just
that we have to vote for the same person under a new party name and that
is all? A Kasuri we have had in parliament some five times and now he
is being introduced as a CHANGE? Imran Khan really considers Pakistanis
to be idiots, isn’t it the case?
So, what do I say to a rolling stone, who uses indecent language, is
focused only on one province out of four, offers bookish solutions, with
a proven zana case and SKMH funds allegation still carries that “holier
than thou” attitude, is all about allegations and no proofs and
promises to bring change by bringing back all so familiar faces to the
national assembly-A big NO!
Imran Khan does not deserve my Vote. That’s my analysis. I respect everybody’s views. Respect mine as well.
