Today, we pakistanis celebrated our Republic Day, well check out this special post on one of the most incredible rises in recent times.
Pakistan Unfortunately does not have the trend of creating or growing genuine political force, As Leaders come from backdoor channels, military coups,and even "imported", while others are politicians just because their fathers were.
The Parties transformed into "INTEREST GROUPS " with people seldom Involved, practically isolated from the country's Political System,with only two examples in the 65 year history one being ZulfiqaarBhutto,and the other most recent IMRAN KHAN.
Who could have thought that the once world champion Cricket Captain,would one day be a contender for his resource-rich,but badly managed Nation.After 17 years of Struggle he made it possible!
Despite having a good reputation,and integrity it was by no means an easy journey. He was advised to quit politics as it was not his cup of tea.For 15 odd years his party called PAKISTAN TEHRIK E INSAAF (PTI) was not even recognized as a major political force, but all this didnot disappoint Khan and his few Loyal Companions.
Adressing a massive publc meeting at Lahore on 30 October 2011 changed the days, His party came from being nothing to the most popular political group of the nation,he spread his message and grew in influence and Power, city by city throughout the country, through massive public gatherings(a trend completely vanished of Pakistan's Political Culture)what he called Tsunaami.
Imran's greatest success though lies in mobilizing the youth (accounts for more than 60 percent of the population) but having no role in country's political structure, justifying his slogan of Change and Hope too.as he promises.
Apart from massive public gatherings and enthusiastic aproach to politics,he has introduced some better trends in the political scenario,Intra party elections and asset decleration for example.
Keeping aside his numerical strength and following, another factor in his so far successful political campaign is the passion linked with it.and obviously the hope for better Pakistan.
His political struggle and campaign is definitely at its peak and zenith today and if succeeds, would be one of the most incredible political uprising.And with it a much better,safer, Pakistan.
