Imran’s biography portrays him as a transformed swinger and a vindictive person suffering from persecution complex
RAWALPINDI: Imran Khan’s biography, authored by Christopher Sandford, portrays him as a transformed swinger and a vindictive person suffering from persecution complex and a casual gambler. But above all, a paranoid person, who blames the ISI for his failure in the elections. There are a few points in his book that are quite unexplainable. In the wake of his no-holds-barred speeches today, Imran Khan needs to address these.
For instance, in the book Sanford quotes, “there was a succession of debts, dolly birds and shop girls,” and “once he took a dislike to someone or something, you could not absolutely get him back again.” Such traits of Khan’s personality can still be seen today. In fact, in the book Pakistan: A Personal History, penned by Imran Khan himself, he writes about things that question his own stance on the statements he now makes. Few chapters down the book, he says, “it took me a year to clear the debts that the party had incurred during the elections...Consequently candidates abandoned us. Candidates cajoled or lured gave up... telling me they could not fight the ISI.” As a citizen confused at Imran’s mysterious personality, I would want him to address these concerns.
