Imran Khan is the only honest man available to us, and therefore all the author’s points are moot.
RAWALPINDI: This is in reference to Feisal Naqvi’s article “Grow up, young voters”, dated May 7, 2011.
I agree with the author that Imran Khan is an honest man but lacks a ‘magic wand’ to solve Pakistan’s myriad of problems. However, I feel we don’t have the option to choose between three or four honest men and compare their relative merits. Imran Khan is the only honest man available to us, and therefore all the author’s points are moot.
Naqvi says Imran Khan has no plans for the country. The writer may not agree with his plans but he does have them, and has never hesitated to discuss them. Secondly, it’s not as if the other parties ever had plans, or that question was ever even put to them. I also request the author not to compare Imran Khan with Zulfikar Ali Bhutto. There is a major difference. Zulfikar Ali Bhutto wanted to lead the country by hook or by crook. Imran Khan only wants the straight route to power, via fair elections, assuming, of course, that elections in Pakistan can ever be fair.
