The fall from the forklift of Imran Khan is a great metaphor for Pakistan and its leaders.
KARACHI: Two recent events during the last days of election campaigning can be considered as metaphors. The fall from the forklift of Imran Khan is a great metaphor for Pakistan and its leaders. The country is shaky, tumbling, and taking its leaders down with it. The security standard operating procedures are prime examples of juvenile methods used to tackle the security threats.
The second metaphor is the inhumane way in which an exotic and rare white animal was treated. This shows the attitude of failing leaders who have contributed immensely in leading this nation towards collapse and default.
