One Thousand Days
Published on June 21st, 2021

We Pakistanis are watching with concern.
The most honest, out standing and charismatic leader to have become Prime Minister has been tied up so tightly that he has not been able to achieve anything in Pakistan.
Imran Khan has been PM for a thousand days - a lifetime In political terms, it is an era.
For him to promise a brighter future after five years is ridiculous.
The people are angry they want the promises made to them kept tomorrow.


Three years is unacceptable. The people who elected you want action now, tomorrow is too late and five years is out of the question.
Worse still Imran Khan is losing his most valuable asset - success. Earlier his every step was a success.
The last thing on Imran Khan’s mind should be failure. He should act now.


Dissolve the assemblies, jail Zardari and his henchmen in Sind, a province so riddled with corruption that Zardari and his sister were making money during the COVID pandemic. When a lockdown was ordered she allowed factories to open for a huge two Khokha (crore). This was more than immoral. Yet the brother and sister are still completely in charge of Sind.
The people hold Imran Khan responsible as he is the PM.
The past three years have seen a string of failures and yet somebody’s orders are being carried out.
A case in point is Dr Shahid Masood on television with handcuffs and Imran Khan as Prime Minister shown on TV commenting, this is very bad, the handcuffs should be removed.
The very next day the nation watched in shock when Dr Shahid Masood was shown with handcuffs on both hands.


My “maalshiyaa” who was with me on both days remarked “See someone has countermanded the orders of Prime Minister of Pakistan and he’s obviously more powerful then the PM. We should have voted for him as he is the most powerful.”
I was stunned at this uneducated man accurately describing the hollowness of Imran’s powers and the search for the real power which was not in the hands of Imran, which lay somewhere else.
He went on to add, we should search for that power and vote for him.

It appears that there is some being more powerful than Imran Khan who could countermand the orders of the Prime Minister of Pakistan. This is the issue that needs to be addressed. Who is the person whose orders were obeyed and the second handcuff was put on ?
Is Imran Khan deliberately being weakened ?
