Imran Khan is a true follower of Gandhiji

Imran Khan is trapped by his own logic but time will still rescue him because he means well and stands by his word.

KARACHI: Imran Khan may not admit it, but he is a true follower of Gandhiji. Gandhiji believed in the constitutional way to the extent that when he was in South Africa, he believed that he had to be loyal to the Queen since the Queen would treat all her subjects on merit. So it is with Imran. He believes in the Constitution and wants to achieve objectives through it. And look what he has done in the case of the polio vaccination by risking everything, including his life, in getting personally involved with the polio vaccination campaign. Here is a man who wants to do right by his country and his people. He is trapped by his own logic but time will still rescue him because he means well and stands by his word.

Honesty brings its own reward. I salute you, My Captain! Godspeed and Good luck!

Iqbal Ismail
