| Imran Khan |
By S. Jhon
A constant political struggle of more than 2 decades,
leaving behind a deluxe life for the reciprocation of all love and respect
people of Pakistan gave to the internationally renowned sportsman Imran Khan,
ultimately rendered him victorious in general elections 2018. His efforts were
real and people acknowledged his will to gallantly fight for the interest of
people against the corruption of two major families holding the political power
of the country. A spotless image of being one of the few honest and trustworthy
leaders raised the bars of hopes the nation rested with him very high. These
expectations made the pressure on his newly formed government evident and the
administration challenging. Khan had been burning midnight oil since day one to
address primary stability and development project.
A stable Pakistan is most feared by no other than her
archenemy India. Pakistan, since past few decades, hankered a genuine and
upright political leadership to run the state matters and lead it in the right
direction but due to external propagandas primarily Indian sponsored media
houses, corrupt and notorious faces were glorified as capable and truthful
leaders ultimately leaving them successful.
The state affairs
then performed proved as backstab to the nation’s progress. Pakistan’s
development slowed downed as external pressure increased due to mountains of
external borrowings. Government and all its major institutions were traumatized
by corruption and money laundering of the power brokers further suppressing the
country’s growth.
The export narrowed down to non-existent due to
ineffectual government policies elevating dollar’s price. The country had been
dragged into financial and ethical chaos on purpose to destabilize the state.
The enmity of India has always been visible in all havoc rising in the country
including terrorism, water crisis, media war etc.
Due to stated fear, India had been playing part in
sponsoring the media for libeling Imran Khan even before the General elections
July 2018. Indian nefarious designs to bring Modi’s friend, ex-Prime Minister
Nawaz Sharif, back into power was clear from multiple statements by Indian
politicians claiming that India has invested and has very high stakes in Nawaz
Sharif. All the unrest in the enemy lines further substantiated Imran Khan of
being the leader Pakistan was longing for.
Indian puppet media group, GEO-JANG group, even alleged
Pakistan Army to have sponsored and brought Imran Khan to power through
manipulation of results. Pakistan Army always ensures moral support to
nationalist elements in the greater interest of the country and as obvious from
the by-elections results, where Pandora boxes favored PML(N), the elections
proved transparent and rigging-free setting aside all the claims of opposition
parties.
Despite all the odds, Khan emerged victorious carrying
the nation’s highest expectations on his shoulders. All the Indian investment
went drain but their dirty game did not end. They came up with wicked plans in
order to hamper the advancement of Pakistan; facilitating major rat-holes for
money laundering, funding Pakistani and Indian hostile media houses to
highlight petty issues to divert the attention from the real achievement of PTI
government and trying to incite distrust among general public against the government.
A deep insight of dirty politics by the opposition parties indicates the
strings are being pulled from across the border with purpose of weakening the
country and hurting national sentiments.
India has been applying Chanakya Doctrine in her
diplomacy which states that relations must not be smooth with the neighbors
rather the neighbors of the neighbors with aim to not let the power go in the
hands of the immediate neighbor which is technically a threat to state’s
existence. This doctrine served as the basis of all the cowardice Indian
tactics against Pakistan. The doctrine relates a powerful neighbor with menace
to stability of state and India has been investing a big deal to weaken
Pakistan.
Since Imran Khan assumed the office of Prime Minister, he
has been working tirelessly on key challenges the country is facing in the time
of grave crisis when the enemy is under immense pressure of hefty debts and
corruption. Acute water shortage, sinking exports, swelling interest rate and
inflation and dying foreign exchange reserves were benefactions previous
government left for PTI. Imran Khan’s and so far the biggest achievement is the
harmonization of military, government institutions and judiciary. This alone
serves as key attraction to the trust of the outside world due to aligned
institutions and opportunities for progress, which became evident from Khan’s
successful foreign visits.
PM khan made 8 visits to 6 countries in less than 5
months certainly defining a success of diplomacy. These visits ensured a
financial support worth 10 billion USD from Saudi Arabia and Abu Dhabi with
direct foreign investment in various industries. Foreign investors are showing
interest, which predict a flourishing economy and close end to financial crisis
the country is battling. One major setback to the government was the
overshooting dollar’s price, which according to leading economists is
suppressed artificially by the previous government through an input of around 7
billion USD into the national exchequer just for the stated reasons. This money
was obtained partially from foreign exchange reserves and partly from loans,
which indicated a disaster to the economy and the implications is being reaped
obviously by the Khan’s government.
Sitting government’s remarkable foreign policy can be
gauged by the letter of reconciliation from US President Trump in response to
Khan’s retaliation on the remarks Trump made about Pakistan in the previous
tweets accusing Pakistan for supporting insurgents and not doing a damn thing
in US-led war in Afghanistan. The letter with a request to Imran Khan to
facilitate the negotiations with Taliban and to help US make a respectable exit
from the region was a proof of Khan’s government stature in the western world.
Premier Khan has taken the initiatives of repairing of
damaged roots of the nation with a long sight on issues of core importance. He
along with his cabinet has been determined to uproot corruption from the
country since day one of their government. His government is taking measures to
raise awareness on issues of national importance including resource planning,
industrial development, poverty eradication and nationalism. The government
realizing the shortage of water and risks it could post in years to come has
taken initiative for building new dams and water reservoirs. Government
institutions, which were drowning in debt, are starting to heal with effective
and meticulous steps giving positive indications.
These indications created unrest and disturbance across
the border and they resorted to chicken play. Visible signs appeared in Indian
confrontation to the initiative of Kartarpur corridor, a goodwill gesture of
Pakistan’s higher command for Indian Sikh community. Indian PM Modi realizing
the irrefutable proposition of border corridor tried to play along as a
face-saving move following multiple defiant attempts. Concluding, Pakistan is
progressing in the very right direction and India must quit ratting, rather
should digest the reality as early as possible. Bharat must keep their own
house in order than to continue bluffing against Pakistan. India must live and
let live.
