IMRAN KHAN ALL SET TO WIN IN PAKISTAN, POLLING UNDERWAY TODAY

Pakistan is in an election mode today. Voting has already started at 8 in the morning to be concluded at 6 in the evening where about 106 million voters are going to cast their votes with the 3 lakh 60 thousand military personels manning the elections having their dominant say than the electoral officers.

As per the news pouring in from various sources including media reports this time’s election sounds to be more hectic and pro Imran Khan and his Tehrike Insaaf Party as the Pakistan Army seems to be fully backing Imran’s party come to power. Pakistan has witnessed many fatalities in this election in bombing sequences in several public meetings killing hundreds of innocents for no fault of theirs.

The Islamist nation though under the democratic system has so far seen two parties coming to power in Pakistan simultaneously, the Pakistan Peoples’ Party led by Benazir Bhutto and later on by Zardari n now by her son Bilawal Bhutto and  other being that of the former Pakistan PM Nawaz Sharief.

Both the parties have been accused of seamless and huge corruption with Bilawal Bhutto’s father, the former president accused with serious corruption charges and Nawaz Sharief, his daughter Marium and son in law already going to Jail thus offering an open and unambiguous opportunity to the former cricket star of Pakistan Imran Khan acknowledge power this time with the unstinted Pakistan Army’s full support.

The major advantage with Imran Khan and his Tehrike Insaf Party is that he has not been tested by the people of Pakistan and as such is a politician with clean and immaculate image as compared to the severe corruption charges levelled against the previous PM’s and regimes during PPP n PML(N) governments.

Moreover the Pakistan Army and good number of hard core terrorist outfits are also supporting him directly or  indirectly.

Imran Khan says that though he would like to maintain friendly ties with India but not at the cost of Kashmir which unambiguously speaks of the fact that Imran with the Pakistan Army’s support, if comes to power, would be even more dangerous for India.

The fact of the matter is, the eighty percent politics of Pakistan takes a favourable tilt in favour of those politician and parties who are deadly against India and its policies and who labeled it as anti Pakistan and this has been going for years since 1947 after Pakistan got separated from India.

The strict anti India stance is considered as the most important element and pivotal tool of the Pakistan’s foreign policy and this had been the core factor leading to political victories of the parties that rule Pakistan.

Then how can Imran Khan and his Tehrike Insaf Party violate the tradition. While Imran has so far been clear of corrption tag that is helping him tremendously to gain power in Pakistan for which voting is in progress today,  his reputation as a womaniser is eroding his image but in this election his immense popularity has actially overshadowed this womaniser charge.

It may be recalled that Imran has married for the fifth time in Pakistan with a woman half of his age, may be even less younger to him but the people of the country hardly took it in the negative perhaps because its religiously applicable in Islam n because of his being a celebrity of eminence, globally.

Though the voting in various parts of the country is in full swing and chances of Imran becoming the prime minister of the country seem to be bright, several countries of the globe such as US, China, India, UK eyc are keeping their serious watch on the outcome of the results as there are reports that the army is also helping Imran’s party in the supposed rigging of elections.

This time one more factor may bother the future government of Pakistan in case some hard core terrorists win the elections and enter the Pak parliament as good number of hard core terrorists are contesting the polls in Pakistan. What’s your take friends?
