None of Pakistan’s PMs has lasted 5 years. That the current PM has given Asim Munir 5 years shows that of all military dictatorships history has seen, Pakistan’s is most creative.
Even if Imran were speaking the truth (Which I seriously doubt) and Pakistan is seriously contemplating a U turn in all its anti India policies, the crop of hatred that his predecessors have sown by radicalization of its populace through flawed education and narratives of hatred, will take decades to reap. Too much to hope for even for a born optimist.
Looking at the prime minister the past few days does not convey the impression of a man who is running things in the midst of so much turmoil, so much noise and clamour. He does not look like a leader preparing to meet massive challenges, who is in touch with his people, one who cares about and feels their anxiety, their pain, hears their voices and understands their fears. He looks lost in his own world. Perhaps it is because he knows something we don’t, but I doubt that. More likely he knows only what we all do: that he is not really running things any more. DAWN
So, my analysis had been right all along: Imran was never meant to succeed. He was a pawn who was being used by everyone. In his blindness for the PM seat, he did their bidding. What people saw as a U-turn was merely Imran doing as he was told by his financiers and handlers. It wasn’t that he was stupid or easily swayed: he simply had no moral direction or ideology of his own. A puppet moves where the strings pull him. A puppet cannot love as it has no heart. A puppet cannot stand firm as it has no ground to stand on. It dawned on me very late that I was in love with a man he never was. Reham Khan
The issue of treating Pakistanis from non-Muslims backgrounds as ‘others’ is a deep-rooted problem in the country. The brainwashing begins when a child goes to a school and is taught: “The Hindu has always been an enemy of Islam.” Equating it with anti-India sentiment, Pakistani textbooks often vilify Hindus: “Hindu thugs massacred Muslims and forced them to leave India”; “The religion of Hindu never taught them good things”; or “Hindus worship in temples which are very narrow and dark places, where they worship idols. Only one person can enter the temple at a time. In our mosques, on the other hand, all Muslims can say their prayers together.” Naila Inayat
