Role of opposition

PTI chairman Imran Khan is possibly the most politically naïve politician Pakistan has ever had

LAHORE: PTI chairman Imran Khan is possibly the most politically naïve politician Pakistan has ever had. Apart from his fickle-mindedness, he would never stick to his own words. Khan has now assured PAT chief Tahirul Qadri of his support if he calls for protests against the Punjab government.

More than anything else, the PTI chairman’s politics revolves mainly around pulling the PML-N down and pitting other political parties against it. His recent assurance is just another instance of how the former cricketer does not give a second thought to any move that even slightly promises trouble for the ruling party. However, such practices will not do any good to either him or the party.
