vote 4 pti

IMRAN Khan enjoys the benefit of doubt because he has never been in power. However, test of political leadership lies solely in their performance during a national crisis or a tragedy.The present crisis has arisen because decisions of the Supreme Court have been mocked at in violation of the constitution, thereby shaking the very foundations of our democratic republic.
The constitution is what the Supreme Court interprets it to be, not what the executive or majority members of parliament or the bureaucracy may construe it to be.
In a democracy there is no room for the concept that the ‘king does no wrong’, because all men are supposed to be equal in the eyes of law. In fact, those who occupy high public office and whose decisions impact destiny of 180 million people must be judged on strict higher scale for morality, ethics and submission before the judiciary or the rule of law as compared to ordinary citizens. This is why private lives of those who offer themselves for public service are open to scrutiny.
In a democracy if a peon’s family is accused of drug peddling, it can be ignored, but not when the prime minister’s family is accused of the same.
Imran Khan has been quite soft on the Ephedrine scam, a chemical used in preparation of Ecstasy, an addictive and dangerous drug that has killed thousands of youths over the world.
His recent silence on the CAA’s irresponsible behaviour that led to Bhoja Air crash is shockingly unacceptable. Does he realise that the public in Pakistan does not have access to private jetsand that a vast majority, nearly 90 per cent, rely on public air, rail and road transport.

He has disappointed his admirers by not visiting the site of Siachen tragedy where over 135 sons of this country have perished, and not visiting the unfortunate families whose kith and kin have been missing for years.
The Supreme Court was openly rebuked and ridiculed by activists of a political party(PPP), yet Imran Khan refuses to realise the importance of overcoming his ego and make common cause with all political forces that have expressed their support for implementing Supreme Court decisions. Time and tide waits for no man. Imran Khan must walk his talk.
