Within 9 hours of his plane touching down, Imran Khan will succeed in wrenching out Indian Kashmir and uniting it with Pakistan. India will be moonstruck by the Great Khan.

Great, this man has ability to do something better for Pakistan. The People of Pakistan have a chance this time to elect him and his party and bring them in power to serve the country. At least one team they should be given chance.

Hope he gets the chance to meet the real King Khan.

He will prove in the forum that Taliban are best economic managers.

Hmm, maybe he should learn from Raja Ashraf and Asif Zardari and focus on sightseeing tours. Pakistani public likes to vote in leaders who treat them like sheep, they do not understand a ‘good, honest’ leader who is seeking to provide solutions. They relate more closely to the likes of Gillani and Raja Ashraf.

Imran Khan is not welcomed by the people of India because of his hypocrisy. When the Mumbai terrorist attacks perpetrated by Pakistan-based killers took place in 2008, he did not lose a word. In fact, he was ranting about the “injustice” against Pakistani cricketers who were not welcomed by India. However, Mr. Khan loves coming to India to partake of India’s hospitality. Many Indians question why he is being given a visa in the first place. You will find hundreds of angry readers expressing their views in Indian newspapers about the futility of inviting Pakistani politicians to India who are shunned by the rest of the world. The large majority of Indians would simply like to keep away from Pakistanis till they eradicate the evil of terrorism that is destroying lives of innocent men, women and children. Pakistan has become synonimous with terrorism and religious extremism. These are the country’s biggest “exports”. On the other hand, despite our huge misgivings about striking friendship with Pakistan, we are deeply impressed by the courage shown by the child Malala who raised her head against the barbarians who were, apparently, so frightened by a little girl that they had to fire bullets at her at close range. These are really brave men, aren’t they? And what did Mr. Imran Khan do? It took him six days to express mere “regrets” over the attack against Malala.

Imran Khan will have achieved a lot if he breaks the cycle of violence between India and Pakistan and takes over the reins of decision-making from the agencies.

@Surya, Imran Khan is going to participate in the WORLD Economic Forum. Don’t make this about India, try to have a bigger heart to welcome world leaders. Or don’t hold such events in the first place…

PTI has worked on various policies including health, economics, local-body system and energy and is working on other policies including education, agriculture. This shows that the party is sincere to its objectives to make Pakistan prosper. I hope majority of people will vote PTI in upcoming elections.
Another important thing to note: India is a progressive country and always tries to learn from experiences and knowledge of other nations. It keeps eye on recent changes and development across the globe. I am sure Indians will definitely learn something useful from PTI policies may adopt whatever is good for their nation.

@Zoaib:
Imran Khan is not a world leader. He’s a former cricket team captain.
Recommend
Though the govt. has given him visa due to some other reasons but we Indians are not welcomming him by heart .

He is only leader who makes us proud every day. He can represent Pakistan not only locally but also internationaly.

The first time leadership participates at the WEF Davos, India. Pakistan with opportunities/openings, platform can be a hub to the region, and the world too. As PIA was one of the first airlines to operate Boeing 777 from Pakistan, much before Emirates and other carriers in the region.
PTI, its chair person can hold the next or the following event of WEF in Pakistan which will be an eye opening to the world.
Todays Pakistan need serious investment in Pakistan infrastructure as rail/road, rolling stock for Pakistan railway for High Speed Rail Track for passenger/cargo providing Gwadar port linkage to the world for transit cargo to China, Europe, ASEAN.
We need railways, we don’t need aircrafts today, and the world is hungry to provide invest in Pakistan for their security, and our efforts.

@Surya: He went to India to attend the World Economic Forum. What Indians think about Imran Khan means nothing, and personally, Imran Khan does not have a penny to be concerned with you or your opinions. India is synonymous with a state-sponsored terrorism campaign in Kashmir since 1947, and once Imran comes to power, he will put an end to India’s terror funding. He is a politician in Pakistan and the only thing that matters is his future policies in his own country. India is just a small fish.

The only leader from Pakistan who deal makers at the meets actually respect and want to network with.

first of all tell me all Pakistani people what Mr.khan is having to sell? bombs? sucide kits? mujhahiden? terrorists? Or poverty?Recommend
