Form of words:

TeaIt is the season of mist, so is the season of confession. At least it seems so. Like an annual ritual, the whispers are getting louder. This time they are saying that the relationship between Rawalpindi and Bani Gala is getting “complicated”. If someone will say that the wind of change is blowing, then someone will be seen talking nonsense: The country cannot be iska mutahamil: (The country cannot tolerate this change). As if anything is affordable nowadays. Soon ministers will confirm that their king isn’t going anywhere, but that’s the dilemma when you’re holding a king in a deck of clowns.

What are the signs of a change of heart? On the surface, it is prevailing inflation and three years of sheer incompetence (and what not), but in the hearts of hearts, it was Prime Minister Imran Khan’s delay in the appointment of the spy chief that has given rise to all the speculation. politically allies Last week’s joint parliamentary session sends mixed signals of the government being “difficult to support” Postponed Because the ruling party lacked the numbers to legislate, they were enough to fan the “change-coming” fire. in the name of change, this is where we are waiting for the change to undo change,

Imran Khan project development

Not so long ago, the project Imran Khan promised a change from the “corrupt”, “fraudulent” Sharif and Zardari. October 2011 The public rally at Lahore’s Minar-e-Pakistan was seen as the reincarnation of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman. The grand show brought in a crowd of over a lakh by some estimates, while Message Stayed on point: the change What is needed, along with whipped cream of anti-American abuse. This was not unexpected, however, given that it was the period following the Abbottabad raid by the United States. killed Osama bin Laden and the war on terror was still reigning. Still, many wondered how Imran Khan gathered such a huge crowd. like someone political advantage Made in Pakistan with the help ofumpires‘ who later became Khan’s ‘selector’.

As of 2011, Khan’s party had just one seat in the National Assembly, which it won in the 2002 election. This came after the then President General Pervez Musharraf offered him 10 seats As a counter to Khan’s demand of Rs.100. He then boycotted the 2008 election. Khan’s first election in 1997 also didn’t make for a great performance. He lost the nine seats he contested, lost his bail in seven seats. NS change It finally began with the 2013 elections, where the PTI was the third party with 32 seats in the national legislature. From there, the project was watered down to Imran Khan, given air and light to be taken seriously because “third optionIn 2018, his wish was fulfilled. The “third way” was given the chance to run the country after the election by pre-election rigging, media strangulation. Threat of political opponents.

Ten years after being reincarnated and 39 months after being placed on the seat as prime minister, no news The adjective best used to describe both Imran Khan’s government and those who encourage him. Khan credits his success to the mainstream media, which gave ball-to-ball coverage of his dharna and helped him build the story of ‘Naya Pakistan’. There were also some in the media who campaigned on Khan’s promise that “Pakistan ke best din aane wale hai” – get on the bandwagon Pakistanis or you can miss your ride. And what a ride it has been.

fading cabinet

See the illusion of grandeur that Khan maintains with a “team of professionals” acting as a shadow cabinet. Wait till they come and blow your mind. It seems that the shadow cabinet, which has been preparing for 26 years, is still in the shadows. The PM’s team has “professional” faces Fawad Chaudhry, Firdous Ashiq Awan, Sheikh Rashid Ahmed, Shah Mehmood Qureshi and others that he borrowed from Zardari and Musharraf The claims of in-house Mahathir who would fix the economy, Aristotle who knew it all, the international relations expert who rid Pakistan of foreign policy woes, have still not surfaced. Unless, the shadow team members planned the crisis of Modi and Biden phone calls. Then it is a well executed plan. So was it all a hoax then?

Today the same Aashikan-e-Imran or opinion makers in the media are saying that, “sorry dude mistake made a mistake“We thought Imran Khan’s leadership was visionary, but it turned out that it was more dangerous than the haze of Lahore. He was charismatic, charming, honest, self-confident and it reminded us of our youth. Now who from this point? can deny that even being in love Germany-Japan The limit seems real. You cannot crucify people for their stupidity to fall in love with the wrong people. It happens all the time. Khan, in return for unconditional love, forces these jilted lovers to say that Khan can only love himself, he is no one’s friend, and that he can only love himself. prayer she herself. Khan sir, beware of the wrath of exile. so in their appreciation letter, they are regretting putting their faith in their 1992 World Cup winning captain and leading their spectators to a car accident. once they ate sweet dish They now complain of unfulfilled promises over the defeat of Khan’s supporters in the TV studio. Those promises of a revolution, to bring back Pakistan’s billions of dollars that were “stolen”, 10 million jobs, and the search gas And oil resources have suddenly disappeared. Now ex-boyfriends say they’re sad because “Any dream broken by Chan“And their world is crushed.

People can argue that this confession of ‘Naya Pakistan’ is not real and is being made. Or that it’s time for Titanic to jump on the next ship. Whatever you want to make, I only have one question for the selectors, followers, heartbroken cheerleaders: How are you enjoying this change?
