A fair number of PTI followers and fans of Imran Khan tweeted #Imran4Pakistan on Saturday, June 23. They praised the former cricketer for his honesty, integrity and the fact that unlike other politicians, he was educated and dedicated to the country.
Here are some of the top tweets:
PTI Rocks @PTI_tsunami
#Imran4Pakistan As clearly IK is followed by vast majority of the educated ones too, to question that would be insulting their intelligence.

#Imran4Pakistan because educated people deserve to rule Pakistan!

IK does not like the brain, heart and soul of Pakistan, which is Karachi and Karachi only per se. But that does not matter. As long as he remains loyal to the cherished ideals for the betterment of Pakistan, MY VOTE IS FOR IK. Salams
@Bazil Mahmud: get some education man......
most importantly he is the last hope before american rolle back our nuclear israel wiped us of the map and india conqure us and revange for thousand years of muslim rule of india........
Educated does not make a difference when it comes to electing under the democratic process in Pakistan. That a reality therefore I am not in any illusion.
IK should be given at least one chance to show that he is a goof.
is that a report????
This man oozes class. IF the Pakistani people have any self respect and know what is good for their country, then this man is home and dry.
All un-elected are honest.
@ khoya pakistani... and those too, if he does not boycott.
James Bond 007.
My vote for IK.
Why is this news ? Free webspace on ET ?
All I can say is that the FUTURE OF PAKISTAN is IMRAN KHAN
@Bazil Mahmud: I was wondering who else you would like to vote for if you prefer not to vote for Imran based on that argument.
Don't ignore the power of internet (fb, twitter, online forums) in today's world. We all witnessed the Arab uprising mainly generated by these very same people (online) against powerful dictators. Imran Khan popularity has suddenly shoot up in recent years because of private media and internet. Those who are posting about PTI's vote bank wont even cross double digit figure mark are highly ignorant, I guess they are still living in early 2000's. For e.g my parents (who are not into internet much) have been voting for PPP for the last 20 yrs or so but this I will make sure them they will vote for PTI and they will ..similarly I am not just one, there are thousand of very same twitter, facebook guys like me who will end up increasing PTI votes by convincing their parents, siblings and friends.
Imran Khan will be the Next Prime Minister of Pakistan,who agrees with me???
He is an honest man but he is still too scared to criticise Saudi Arabia or the Mullahs. If he does that then he will have my vote.
Imran is the only sincere political leader and we stand by him. Choice is between corrupt and honest. Otherwise we will suffer few more years with dark careers for kids and miserable life for generaitons.
IK will InshaAllah be our next PM..We dont want to see Zardari or Nawaz to keep ruling us...
What's up with this new trend of posting opeds, editorials, and blogs purely based on selective transcripts of tweets. One thing that I couldn't help but notice as I started following the who's who of Pakistani Twitterverse is that opinions are conformed and aligned very quickly, there's persistent pressure to be popular, liked, often pandering to the opinion of small cults, especially of liberal journos who I find far too divorced from their 180mn brethren.
haha, all the twitterers will probably forget to wake up and vote. PTI will likely win no more than four seats this election, #FAIL
awersome stuff . . big fan of IK
This is true man... He has motivated the morale broken people of Pakistan and for the first time in the history of Pakistan, the likes of Asad Umar are now interested in Politics and is gearing up against the status quo!!!
The best of them: He could have been a multi-millionaire international celebrity in England but he left everything even his family 4 us.
My next vote will be for Imran Khan.
God bless IK! May he lead our nation. Others are corrupt and incompetent!
One of the reasons Pakistan is backward is because the leaders don't want to tackle the tough issues like population control and the lack of progressive thinking among the masses. Imran Khan has been in politics for over 15 years and during that time he has conducted himself with honor and respect. I have a number of family members who live in the US and they are also very excited to vote for Imran Khan in the next elections. Let's bring the change this country needs so Pakistanis are no longer their own worst enemy.
looking so smart :) MashAllah
atleast good shades :)
"When Imran speaks, we listen, when he smiles, we smile, when he roars, we join, when he stands, Pakistan rises."
Awesome
