Curious case of Pakistan Politics

With recent injection of PTI in Pakistan’s politics, nothing can be said for sure regarding possible outcome of the next elections. The very dictatorship of Gen. Musharaf somehow pushed BB Shaheed and Nawaz Sharif to amend their rivalry relations spreading over decades and joining hands for some mutual interests. The country was going to be absolute bi-polar with few exceptions which ultimately was not acceptable to real power houses of this third world nuclear power. PTI emerged as a national party in last few years when it was very much on cards that Nawaz Sharif will gain majority in next elections and hence some serious resistance to military establishment. This philosophy has created few question marks over Imran Khan’s integrity especially when constant speculations are in place on national media and allegations are being made by other political forces. Yet, the popularity graph of charismatic captain become politician is on rise with no stopping. Either way, Imran Khan and his emergence as national leader has caused few positives on country’s politics. Not only he has brought up the attention of youth of upper class but the charge and energy seen in his followers is something new for this generation as well as working class of the country. People are following him with passion and in some cases blindly. His rise has pushed other political parties to participate actively on all issues. It’s up to him now that how he manages to meet the expectations which are not very practical.
