Trichromatic Posted October 30, 2011 Posted October 30, 2011 "Politics is not cricket," a leader of the opposition Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) said after the huge turnout at a rally addressed by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf chief Imran Khan who also brought up the Kashmir issue and asked New Delhi to withdraw the army. "Who really left the mark will be decided by the vote," PML-N leader Pervez Rasheed on Sunday told Geo News. He spoke after the conclusion of Imran Khan's 'Pakistan Bachao' rally that saw the massing of tens of thousands of people in Lahore. Rasheed said public meetings being held these days are reflective of people's desire for change. "Politics is not cricket where you have a winner (or loser) at the end," he was quoted as saying. Imran Khan spoke on Kashmir while addressing the massive gathering. He asked New Delhi to withdraw its army men from Kashmir and give the people their right to self-determination. He observed that no power could ever control people through an army. The former cricketer asked whether the US army had been able to control Afghans in 10 years and he then responded that only if the Indian army was more strong than the US army would it be able to control Kashmiris through force. He also said that his party would hold a civil disobedience movement if politicians failed to declare their assets. http://www.hindustantimes.com/world-news/Pakistan/India-can-t-hold-Kashmir-by-force-for-long-Imran/Article1-763052.aspx
Sarkar Posted October 30, 2011 Posted October 30, 2011 Who is Imran Khan to tell what we can and cant do on Kashmir he wants Delhi to remove the troops in kashmir so that pakistan can infiltrate terrorists into Kashmir. Imran khan yaad rakh 1971 1999 jab tera army ka band bajaya. Jai hind
Asim Posted October 30, 2011 Posted October 30, 2011 Besides what he said about Kashmir, yesterday 30 october, Imran Khan rocked Pakistani Politics when Pakistani people rejected Punjab's Lahori ruler party since 2 decades and attended Imran Khan's peech from all corners of country and made it one of the biggest political gathering ever in Pakistan...

I do not care about his gathering but who is he talk about Indian cities or India
Asim Posted October 30, 2011 Posted October 30, 2011 ^ its rather a funny argument asking "who is he" :D as if no indian ever talked about Pakistani matters. It is his opinion and he can have an opinion about any issue anywhere in the world but yes what you can do is: disagree his opinion anytime, simple...
ganeshran Posted October 30, 2011 Posted October 30, 2011 IK is now the establishment's boy in Pakistan. The army and judiciary are looking towards him as a more popular alternative to PPP and PLM-N. I wouldnt be surprised if he gets elected next election with behind the scenes support from the army. These statements are to curry more favor with the people actually in charge of important portfolios like defence and foreign policy. Politicians after Z.A Bhutto like to see themselves in charge of the policy around defence, but that is not really the case.
Asim Posted October 30, 2011 Posted October 30, 2011 ^ and btw right after the speech he left for China on an official invitation from Chinese govt, how you see it?
Blue Panther Posted October 30, 2011 Posted October 30, 2011 Does he know the same logic applies to balochistan?:winky:,
ganeshran Posted October 30, 2011 Posted October 30, 2011 ^ and btw right after the speech he left for China on an official invitation from Chinese govt' date=' how you see it?[/quote'] IMO, if China is talking to him in an official capacity, they consider him to be in the scheme of running things in Pakistan in the near future.

But again if he gets elected as PM , would he be able to control Pakistani army's interference in their foreign policy ?
Stuge Posted October 30, 2011 Posted October 30, 2011 Meh !!he should first care about his own country .
Indiafan_Hyd Posted October 30, 2011 Posted October 30, 2011 +1 If Pakistan army supports him , he surely has a good chance. But again if he gets elected as PM , would he be able to control Pakistani army's interference in their foreign policy ? He is a super supporter of sub humans like Taliban and their evil ideology.
bajrang Posted October 30, 2011 Posted October 30, 2011 in an interview barkha dutt asked why he was not vocal about salman taseer death ?? he said it is not time to be vocal about these issue in Pakistan as it can be very dangerous. Fattu sala :hysterical:

Pakistan army does not interfere in foreign policy (atleast w.r.t India, Afghanistan and US), they are the ones who run it. And I dont think Imran Khan has would be able to interfere in any major policy decisions.
Desi Cartman Posted October 30, 2011 Posted October 30, 2011 It's kinda funny that he talks that army can't control public while his country has been under military rule for most part if it's history.

achilles Posted October 31, 2011 Posted October 31, 2011 The typical Mumbai term to use in this scenario would be- "Bhikarchot"
ravishingravi Posted October 31, 2011 Posted October 31, 2011 Apart from the comments on Kashmir, which is nothing new, he is now well and truly the ISI and army's chosen man for the job. I wanted him to be something more.
Yoda-esque Posted October 31, 2011 Posted October 31, 2011 ^Ravi: Read your comments in the Politics section that you had made well in advance. Great analysis of the man :two_thumbs_up:
achilles Posted October 31, 2011 Posted October 31, 2011 But Ravi, do you seriously even entertain thoughts about him being a better politician and say, fight the ISI and army? The last time he did that, he was thrown in jail and his ex-wife was doing campaigns in UK to get him released.
