  Well i agree with Patriotic Impulse , Salahuddin & Ghaznavi regarding we definetly want IK to see as PM of Pakistan. But i totally disagree with Adna Gondal n others who think, not taking part in election by IM is/was mistake. I belive he shows all of us that , he is man of principles.

  pakstanf for PM  
  The man I want to see as Prime Minister of Pakistan. A true leader that both educated and illiterate Pakistanis can look up to. Has all the qualities of a leader: intelligence, situational awareness, integrity and charisma. A brave and fearless man, which he has proven by taking on Altaf Hussain and MQM. However, his boycott of the 2008 elections was a mistake.

  Jiyay pakstanf Khan  
  Abdul Basit; pakstanf Khan and the rest of the PTI will soon be back into mainstream politics. The boycott was very important. IK's seat from Mianwali is guaranteed. Infact, his party has become more popular now, particularily in NWFP, since the stand that he has taken with the legal fraternity.

  That's the difference between mature politician and new one. pakstanf khan wasn't going to trust musharaf but nawaz and pppp created such atmoshphere that there was only one solution left. Free and fair elections and check that out, Musharaf's mates all down. Yaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyy Go Musharaf Go

  Munir: By saying 'parting with papa smurf' I gather you are refering to the stand pakstanf Khan has taken with other members of the APDM to boycott the elections. Joining the APDM does not, in any shape or form, mean that pakstanf Khan agrees with the policies of Qazi or anyother party participating in the boycott. It is simply a union formed towards a common goal. And I do not think it is going to harm pakstanf Khan at all. Infact, he is more popular today, amongst the masses, than he has ever been.

  Gimme a break  
  Well we have no concern with his past. He has been in politics for about ten years now have contested two elections, have won in one of them. Enjoys an extravagant media attention and coverage, but still had to rely on qabza group. He remains confused in his stance, wuld say today that i discourage student politics, and all of a sudden would appear from nowhere and provoke an unrest in Punjab University, and that too between the student. Guys he needs to learn a lot. He needs to know that politics is not always about reacting. Actually you must be proactive in your approach as well.

  Atuff: His party is not personality driven at all. And there obviously are other people in his team as well. It's only because he has chosen decent, educated people with principles and morals, who aren't 'professional politicians' in his party, that people aren't familiar with. And when they compare pakstanf Khan with them, they feel as if he's running a one-man show.

  Ideology-based politics  
  Well the real definition of politics is: "Politics is the power to allocate values..." What i like about pakstanf Khan is, that he's the only candidate that represents an ideology. He's not talking about generic solutions for this nation. He is very specific about what needs to be done. And he's honest. Nevertheless, i don't really agree with the way he handles his party though. There has to be other people in his team who can take the lead. His party is somewhat personality driven rather than ideology...

  An Idealist  
  The thing people must remember about pakstanf Khan is that he is a pacifist,an idealist who will look at things in a realistic way.At times this may not be positive but he has always been one to say that Pakistan has a lot of potential and if we worked together under a bit of 'danda' sky is the limit.I personally believe he is one of the only hope Pakistan has because he believes to do things in a simple manner rather than arising complication.If he gains power he will look to lay down simple fundamentals like improvements in security,health and education which at this time is essential for the future development of Pakistan.The only problem with him is that he has to learn the art of Politics which will at times include not making silly remarks that he has made at times which has cost him his image.

  He is emotional but not emotional fool  
  Sorry sir do you know why so called students of jamiat strangled him even then he was worried about chances of riots and he called upon his lover that show harmony which is a way of mature civilized leader but neither you people can again win in cricket without him nor in politics. You know why because when pakistan go seaking money from american how can he turn around and say no i won't do what you say. He is trying to teach you self esteem which our nation has lost. Shame you people will moan at death of courrpt leaders but won't moan at death of future of Pakistan. Pakistan needs civilized leadership who can make it easy for citizens of pakistan but because of lack of educated people that includes confused so called pakistanis. Have mercy on Pakistan. How can you justify well tested leader who turned out to be corrupt. I am amazed how bad memory pakistani nation has got. No wonder we have dictators

  I do agree with brother who said that his vision is simple but he is firm on that and i would like to ask my other brother who said he doesn't know. Hang on a sec would like to tell me who is perfect? Are you and if his mission is to stand for right that maybe at a time he thought musharaf was right and once Musharaf started messing it for pakistan, do you really think he should be stubborn and stick to what he said or he should go for the right? I agree pakstanf khan isn't type of leader any uncivilzed country will for and that answers your all questions.

  Why do we victimise people ? He might have done wrong, i agree he makes generalised comments at times but this person should be given a chance. Chaudary Ifthikar did took an oath on an 'unconstitutional' constitution but he did gave landmark decisions against govt malpractices. He repaired the 'scale of justice' which used to tilt towards powerful personalities and government. And one who supports person like the CJ, I and the majority of the nation would love to stand next to him. When God can forgive us for our mistakes , why cant we ?

  Re: a man without vision  
  well Hassan, he has a vision and its a very simple one which people like you are not ready to have it implemented, so thats why they call him idealistic or sometimes accuse him that he doesn't have any political sense. His vision is very simple as its name says, Tehrik-e-Insaf i.e. to have free and fair judicial system and to make Pakistan a welfare state so that we can bridge the gap between rich and poor by providing them with the same oppurtunities

  A man without a vision  
  He is a man without a vision. He does not know what he wants to do. At one time he was a staunch supporter of Musharraf and now he is against. He is not mature enough to represent the masses which can be judged from the fact that he talks without any justification or basis. He came on the media claiming that he can prove cases against Altaf Hussain but everyone knows that he didnt go to UK to properly pursue those allegations. Basically this pampered guy can't live in the hot summer of Pakistan thats why he always spend his summers in Europe. He went to UK to spend the summer and not to pursue those allegations which can be judged by the fact that instead of pursuing those allegations he just faxed some papers to Scotland Yard and then forget. He also talks about the independence of judiciary and restoration of Iftikhar Chaudhry but why he supports Mr. Chaudhry who himself took oath under PCO and not under Constitution of 1973. Why not Mr. Khan struggle for the restoration of Chief Justice Saeed uz Zaman Siddiqi and his fellow judges who never took oath under PCO.

  pakstanf khan  
  I haven't read all the prior posts, I will just like to contribute my views. pakstanf, I call him best amongst the worst. He has a talent to convince the learned class through dialouge. Even though he makes some statements which I wonder he himself might not be capable of doing it. I still support his ideas because of his credibility in the past. He hadn't been given an oppurtunity yet but still he had his efforts towards social work, I am referring to Shaukat Khanum and a University in Mianwali. Those who criticise his philander character, I will simply say everyone has committed some sins in the past but we learn with the time, so thats why in the begining I described him as best amongst the worst.

  A capable person  
  A generalised comment which is without facts and figures just creates sensationalism. he can be accused of making immature statements, for instance, where he used to publicly accuse nawaz sharif but later joined hands and followed nawaz when pml-n was a part of APDM. Other than that, he has been a straightfoward person and a brave 1 too. He took out rallies at the time of emergency, which is no small deal. Pakistan needs straightfoward and brave leaders like him. Hope that he delivers the goods when he gets a chance to lead.

  "hash scandal, married a jew for money, looted his own hospital, introducing of gambling in cricket etc." Hassan, i can understand if you have political differences with the guy, and you might have a differnet opinion PTI totally belives in democrazy & the first rule of democracy is tthe right to disagree, so u can disagree with his plicies if u want, as long as there's logic & sense behing it (to make ur argument strong) but making false accusations on someone is very immature & morally & ethically wrong. What prove do you have for the above accusations? IF you have mentioned something so absurd, please provide evidence against it. pakstanf Khan is the only leader is the country who has a vision & who talks about jusitce for all & making Pakistan a welfare state. All govts. since the time the hospital was established have tried everything they could to create the hospital scandal, but no one found anything! if you visit the SKMTH website, you can look at all the financials of the organization which are audited by international firms. NOT A SINGLE DIME has be misused. Abour you other accusations, nothing has been proved as well... so please talk facts.. pakstanf Khan is the only Hope for Pakistan. It is alwasy the idealist & a dreamer who brings a positive change in the society, Pragmatism leads no where...you can call us fools or whatever you like, but in the history of mankind the truth always wins, sooner or later & inshALlah, time will prove it.

  First of all i dont agree with his profile where in rumors and gossip column it only says sita white and does not says the hash scandal, married a jew for money, looted his own hospital, introducing of gambling in cricket etc. Every thing I have mentioned is documented and is proven. Now Mr. Khan has his eyes on the highest slot in the country which would always be a far fetched dream for him, secondly I think a national cricket hero asking money for a cancer hospital is one thing and asking for vote is another. So its not ur cup of tea mr. khan..

  The only hope for Pakistan  
  pakstanf Khan is the only hope for Pakistan. He's the only educated, clean, straight forward and honest person you can find in the political fraternity in Pakistan. The fact that he built the Shaukat Khanum Cancer hospital, Nawal University in Mianwali (for those who do not know, Nawal University in Mianwali will be awarding degrees of Bradford University) and so on, clearly show his attitude towards making a change in the lives of the poor. He speaks the truth and is not afraid of standing up for what is right. His politics is based on principles. A few people on this forum have writen that he was better off in cricket and that politics is not his game. This is precisely where you guys are wrong. It is people like pakstanf Khan who need to be in politics, and professional politicians like the Chaudhry's need to be banned. pakstanf Khan Zindabad Tehreek-e-Insaf Zindabad Pakistan Zindabad

  Too much to offer  
  I think, pakstanf talks sense, and I heard from so many that what he says actually make sense, then what is it about his or his party that he can not still get sufficient support. He talks the language of educated middle class person, now that is where the problem is, Butto said Roti Kapra Makan, and won the poor vote, the independence of Judiciary although is a cure for our society, but too far off for some one who does not have food to live on, Personally I have nothing to disagree but certainly would like to see him talking more about wider issues, ofcourse, I would not expect him to make false promises but to show a path........

  Emotional  
  I used to be supporter of pakstanf Khan but now i think he is no different than others except he did not get a chance to be in government. People love/like him not becuase he is a good politician but he was a good cricketer and famously known as founder of Cancer Hospital. I believe, you dont need to be in politics if you want to bring a good positive change and especially when you are as famous as pakstanf Khan was. pakstanf could have used the fame and popularity he had before coming into politics to bring one change in our country. he could have revolutionarize our educational system and that would have been more than enough. In politics, i think he is playing same dirty politics as our other politicians do. I am yet to see any positive criticism and politics from him.

  evolution  
  I think the party has gone through a very successful evolution... if you look at general opinions, like Tamreez here said, the youth are ready to vote for him... like they always were... but see, i've been around the previous elections too, and the general response of people (even elders), has strangely gone towards pakstanf Khan. i think the flaw in the strategy exists, and that is probably the inability to conduct a successful campaign at an election at the party worker level, i think some internal SOP has to be defined to reach people and get them to actually come to the polling booth at the big day (which is one of the reasons why he doesn't get as many votes as you would speculate)...

  I agree with Atif...pakstanf Khan needs to look into strategy to break into Pakistani politics. He has the principles, charisma and trustworthiness to do so, yet his party is not successful. Which I guess also shows that some research needs to go into how to increase PTI's voter banks. I wish I had more definite solutions, but I don't. Anyway, one thing I know for sure is that I'm definitely voting for pakstanf Khan!
