In recent times, two or three extraordinary acts of moral and mental strength and courage have given me great reasons to feel proud of being a citizen of a country that is changing.
The first of these acts quite inspiringly is associated with Prime Minister Imran Khan. I have know him as a national hero, a personal friend and my leader in the PTI. He always had it in him. He always DOES what he deems right to be done. He does go through the due process to form an opinion, leading to a decision. But then when he DECIDES, he decides with conviction and acts accordingly.
I am referring here to the extraordinary pride conviction and courage with which he has owned his respected wife’s faith-based preferences in how to dress and appear in public. By setting aside his image of a globe-trotting star celebrity, and by appearing side by side with his wife who is through her apparel making a strong statement that she is not only a Muslim Woman but also is proud of the way she understands Islam, Prime Minister Imran Khan has shot down the ‘liberal critical views’ with admirable disdain.
The second act relates to the image of the President-designate and the President-elect Mr. Arif Alvi, standing in the row of commoners to receive his boarding card on his turn.
Unfortunately the impact of this glorious image was partially tarnished by the routine protocol of numerous cars that the Sindh Government gave President Alvi.
A clothe is flawlessly white till a discerning eye spots a stain somewhere.
Remain Stainless President Alvi—Like Your Leader Imran Khan.
