The new hope for Pakistan??

Recently we have witnessed the real power of people, in the most unlikely of places. The arab countries were known to have the most brutal dictatorships and lack of freedoms. Even though they were mainly inhabitated by majority muslims, their governments were the most anti-islamic and paid by the west. They were not removed from power by the west of that reason. The west feared that if we remove these dictators our interest in the region will become compromised. It is natural that if you have a real government in the arab regions they will not be friendly towards Israel. So keeping that in mind the west ignored any human rights violations in the region and continued to prop up those governments at the cost of their own image.

But the arab spring taught everyone that in the modern world you cannot hide information anymore and you cannot stop people from organising themselves. The biggest weapon in the hands of the oppressed people is the media and social networks such as facebook and twitter. The national tv might want to show a great picture of their leader and show everything is going ok in the country. But all the people have to do is access websites and witness the true reality. So in this age lying and hypocricy don't work as it used to in the past. The same thing we are seeing now in Pakistan. People have more access to trustworthy news and balanced opinions. In the past i remember there was only PTV news and it was all about brainwashing. It seems like there is some hope in Pakistan, which is Imran Khan. He is quite a charasmatic person and has had some leadership experience, whether it be on a minor scale. Winning the world cup wasn't a simple task and yet he achieved that. Not only that, but he has established a modern cancer hospital by just collecting money from people and mobilising the masses. He didn't get any help from people and that is also another one of his great achievements.

However with such a background, some still question his motives. I was talking to someone about Imran Khan in Peshawar. He told me he married a jewish lady and that Jemima being from a billionaire family was married to him because they knew he would be able to have some influence in Pakistan in the future. So the jews are behind Imran Khan's success and that once he becomes leader then the jews will take over the policy making there. I couldn't stop laughing at such a conspiracy theory. I told him just look at his achievements and look at his honesty. Whatever he says is the right thing and I would definately prefer him over all the other politicians who keep coming in and out of leadership. They all failed miserably and Imran Khan is the person who looks to be totally different from the rest. Whether he can make a huge change to Pakistan or a small change. The direction and aims he has is one which is correct and he deserves a chance. I don't see how Pakistan can become any worse to be honest. So what do Pakistani's have to lose? If somebody talks about him being influenced by Jews. Well Zardari and everybody else is being paid by the west and he is their biggest puppet. He has proved this, yet there is no proof that Imran Khan is a Jewish puppet.

Anywayz let's see what happens, but it does look like his support is increasing by the day. It looks like the new generation in Pakistan understand that he is the only hope at the moment.

  1. Imran Khan certainly has charisma and seems like the man for the job, but I'm extremely pessimistic about Pakistan, to the point that it's unhealthy. Come on, really? Would Pakistan really not be the next Iraq or Afghanistan regardless of who is leading? Sadly I think Imran Khan is the good guy too late. I hope I'm wrong of course, but like I said, I am pessimistic.
