Imran Khan has been playing the role of a CHALLENGER with remarkable success. But if a CHALENGER doesn’t harbour the longings to become a CHAMPION one day, he is likely to disappear into oblivion sooner or later. There simply is therefore no doubt about the fact that Imran Khan is driven by one and only one ambition, fulfillment of which will make him a CHAMPION— an achiever— a founder of a new era—a new legacy—and a new resolve to accomplish nothing less than excellence.
In the recently held Workers’ Convention, Imran Khan put a great deal of EMPHASIS on the term MERIT. Off course Merit is what matters. And when Merit is put on road to Excellence, great turnarounds and revolutions are born.
I, like millions of others in the country, look forward to an era of Imran Khan— an era in which, he, as per his own statements, will try to simulate the traditions associated with the legacy of his ultimate LEADER— the ultimate leader in fact of the whole mankind —the Holy Prophet of Islam (PBUH).
It is time Imran Khan should make a serious effort to study how his ultimate leader (PBUH) behaved with his foes—the diction he used for them—the epithets he associated with them.
Imran Khan is unlikely not to discover that with the Fall of Makkah to the Army of Islam, all the gods of greed, plunder, injustice and evil fell—and were reborn as soldiers of Islam.
I don’t deny the benefits of populist diction. In Pakistan’s politics, Bhutto was the man who introduced it—-and succeeded in triggering thunderous applause among those who loved their tormenters to be ridiculed—made fun of —even abused.
It was a good strategy. But it was never a good tradition.
Imran Khan has been even a more successful practitioner of this strategy. He has targeted both—Zardari and Nawaz—with great fury and fire—and in the process has used diction and epithets that I believe are not worthy of the Follower of Mohammad (PBUH) which Imran Khan proudly proclaims he is.
His war is against corruption—–not against individuals.
I remember having texted a message to Imran Khan some years back: “Captain —never forget in the heat of war—that you are Prime Minister-in-waiting.”
Bhutto’s failure in the end was—he didn’t recover from the consequences of poisonous polarization that he triggered.
I don’t want Imran Khan to fail the Bhutto way. He should become THE LEADER OF PAKISTAN— rather than head of a political party.
I hope he understands.
