[[Imran Khan was so confident about altaf case but now he is silent .I think he was just a jazbati guy ]]
Can't agree more!
You know even if we give him a benefit of doubt for supporting a dual/confused ideology, one just can't ignore the fact that even as a political leader he seriously lacks intuition, hunch, shrewdness etc, the kind of traits that are "must haves" for any successful political leader
i mean just look how...
-He did the blunder of supporting Musharraf in his early days something that he regrets to this day
-Then he committed the mistake of not taking part in the last elections since according to him they were going to be rigged big time under musharraf( but later the history proved that much to his surprise the last elections were regarded as one of the most neutral elections in the history of pakistan )
Lets hope that he would start regretting even this mistake after 2 or 3 years;)
-He made Chauhadhry his "dream girl" only to know that when the real time came to score his points on this issue all the credit was taken by the wily Nawaz and he wasn't even considered when they were calling off the long march (the look at his face when he came to terms with what actually had happened was priceless!)
it was a typical case of " yay bichara shaddi main kursiyan hi lagata reh gaya aur doli koi aur le gaya"
3-He was so over confident about winning his law-suit(s) against Altaf in the beginning and now he is as quite on this issue as he is on iftikhar's issue (because lets admit it every major thing in pakistan is the way it was before despite cj's restatement)
4-Finally, Just when he was trying to turn the unfortunate incident of his "restriction on entering karachi" into an opportunity of showing his strength (by announcing an "insaaf aman" rally ) he was allowed to enter in karachi as if it was just a mischief of bigger parties to measure his level of patience , so the moment he tried to use this whole thing in his favor, they actually kicked him out of the lime light as if he never really existed!
So in short: a leader just doesn't need to be an honest person (the only thing that his supporters could hype about him) He should also be wily, cunning, shrewd, genius enough to play the dirty games of politics, after all, whether we like it or not but "real politick" is no gentleman's (or rather) "gentle" game like cricket! ;)
So lastly, my humble advice to Mr. "Naive" Khan : Take your politics out of the drawing rooms of these talk shows, concentrate more on the rural population of pakistan ( as that's where the real votes are) rather than on teenagers who are just impressed by your sheer charisma and good looks and could only support you on good for nothing internet based forums and who knows you may get somewhere in a decade or so!
