As Pakistan elected yet another Prime Minister on Friday, supporters of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, particularly those who are more tech savvy, made it known that for them, the only person who deserves to bag the top seat and is the best hope to resolve the myriad of problems faced by the country today is their ’fearless’ and ‘charming leader’, Imran Khan.
A fair number of PTI followers and fans of Imran Khan tweeted #Imran4Pakistan on Saturday, June 23. They praised the former cricketer for his honesty, integrity and the fact that unlike other politicians, he was educated and dedicated to the country.
Here are some of the top tweets:
#Imran4Pakistan As clearly IK is followed by vast majority of the educated ones too, to question that would be insulting their intelligence.
#Imran4Pakistan because educated people deserve to rule Pakistan!
#Imran4Pakistan He could have been a multi-millionaire international celebrity in England but he left everything even his family 4 us.
#Imran4Pakistan Because when we puts his mind to a goal he achieves it. He hasn’t been in power and still he gave us SKMH and 1992 World Cup
#Imran4Pakistan bcz he is the only politician whom the Baloch people trust & can negotiate with.
#Imran4Pakistan Because I believe his sheer determination can lead us out of the mess others have created for decades.
#Imran4Pakistan the only political leader with a clean slate. No one can dare point a finger at the man.
#Imran4Pakistan because he want to transform Pakistan into a welfare state.
Sheharyar A. Siddiqi @hadeedian99
#Imran4Pakistan because he gave us Cricket WC, Shaukat Khanum Cancel Hospital, Namal College and most of all, he gives us hope everyday!
#Imran4Pakistan he is not Punjabi, Sindhi, Pathan or Balochi.. HE IS PAKISTANI!
#Imran4Pakistan because he represents the #intellect and #consciousness of #patriotic #Pakistanis from around the #world
#Imran4Pakistan When Imran speaks, we listen, when he smiles, we smile, when he roars, we join, when he stands, Pakistan rises.

One of the reasons Pakistan is backward is because the leaders don’t want to tackle the tough issues like population control and the lack of progressive thinking among the masses. Imran Khan has been in politics for over 15 years and during that time he has conducted himself with honor and respect. I have a number of family members who live in the US and they are also very excited to vote for Imran Khan in the next elections. Let’s bring the change this country needs so Pakistanis are no longer their own worst enemy.

What’s up with this new trend of posting opeds, editorials, and blogs purely based on selective transcripts of tweets. One thing that I couldn’t help but notice as I started following the who’s who of Pakistani Twitterverse is that opinions are conformed and aligned very quickly, there’s persistent pressure to be popular, liked, often pandering to the opinion of small cults, especially of liberal journos who I find far too divorced from their 180mn brethren.

IK will InshaAllah be our next PM..We dont want to see Zardari or Nawaz to keep ruling us…

Imran is the only sincere political leader and we stand by him. Choice is between corrupt and honest. Otherwise we will suffer few more years with dark careers for kids and miserable life for generaitons.

He is an honest man but he is still too scared to criticise Saudi Arabia or the Mullahs. If he does that then he will have my vote.

Imran Khan will be the Next Prime Minister of Pakistan,who agrees with me???

Don’t ignore the power of internet (fb, twitter, online forums) in today’s world. We all witnessed the Arab uprising mainly generated by these very same people (online) against powerful dictators. Imran Khan popularity has suddenly shoot up in recent years because of private media and internet. Those who are posting about PTI’s vote bank wont even cross double digit figure mark are highly ignorant, I guess they are still living in early 2000′s. For e.g my parents (who are not into internet much) have been voting for PPP for the last 20 yrs or so but this I will make sure them they will vote for PTI and they will ..similarly I am not just one, there are thousand of very same twitter, facebook guys like me who will end up increasing PTI votes by convincing their parents, siblings and friends.
