change is need of the hour, Allah has given us an opportunity if we will miss the chance we may have to wait long time to get a chance again "opportunity seldom knocks twice".
if Tehreek-e-Insaaf forms a coalition with other "clean" partries like Jamaat-e-Islami then its chances of coming to power will increase many fold.
Previously analysts said that although people really admired Imran Khan, they preferred staying in their snug houses watching him saying interesting things on TV than to come out in streets. Now when people have proved that they are not just silent supporters after all, these same analysts intellectualize their thoughts by saying that Kaptaan lacks electoral support despite great political footing. See the contradiction?
I was there at the jalsa and I knew the passionate air that managed to bring even the most decent and educated families there. It is indeed a change.
If Tehrik e Insaf goes in for an alliance with any existing party, PPP, PML(N or Q), MQM or Jamat Islami etc then there will be no change.....Just like PPP in 1970s went for a solo ride....TI will also have to go for solo ride....otherwise it will become part of already established clan of politicians
If you ask me, yes there is change. Even if change do not take place, there is strong desire.
My prayer all time with Imran Khan and PTI
