WHAT POLITICAL MISTAKES DID IMRAN KHAN MAKE?

Imran Khan's Political Mistakes

Introduction

Imran Khan got an excellent opportunity in 2018 to change the political and economic conditions of Pakistan but unfortunately, he couldn't capitalize on that. The people of Pakistan provided Imran Khan an excellent opportunity to change their fate once and for all but he kept on compromises and as a result IK was thrown out of the power corridors. Now the question arises here what political mistakes did Imran Khan make that cost heavily not only him but the people of Pakistan as well. Before answering the question, let's try to understand its background first.

Background

Pakistan has remained in severe crises since emerging on the map of the world in 1947. Opportunists whether politicians, bureaucrats, military generals, so-called religious scholars, and judges have always weakened the very roots of Pakistan just for their personal gains. They have been blackmailing the people of Pakistan through different slogans which they have never believed in.

Similarly, instead of strengthening and building Pakistan, they built their assets and increased wealth live a luxurious life, and have complete control of the day-to-day managing affairs of the country. They have been doing all this quite convincingly and without any kind of hindrances.

Additionally, these powerful elites have a very strong nexus when it comes to looting and grabbing the assets of the people of Pakistan. Whenever the people of Pakistan try to hold them accountable and ask some questions, they try to hide behind institutions and successfully avoid accountability.

As a result of all this, the people of Pakistan have been deprived of their fundamental rights. They don't even have the right to elect their rulers whom they held accountable that why Pakistan is still in severe crisis even after 75 years. It is the military establishment ( military generals) that has the ultimate power including a nursery of puppet politicians who safeguard their personal rights after coming into power.

Let's now come back to the actual question and try to find out a detailed answer that what political mistakes did Imran Khan make even after getting an excellent opportunity in 2018. In the end, we'll try to find out another answer that is there any chance for Imran Khan to come into power again and change the fate and future of the people of Pakistan.

What Political Mistakes did Imran Khan Make?

1. The first and foremost mistake that IK made was compromising his authority and power including playing at the hands of the military establishment, particularly in the hands of general Bajwa. He couldn't understand that the military establishment was just using him for their personal gains as Bajwa had nothing to do with the people of Pakistan.

2. The second mistake that IK made was not punishing the corrupt Sicilian mafia of Pakistan including politicians, bureaucrats, military generals, and judges. Similarly, he couldn't introduce a meritorious and justice-based system in the country. on the other hand, he compromised with some culprits and corrupt media tycoons as well who later on set the ground to topple his government and ultimately put Pakistan into severe crisis once again.

3. The third mistake which IK made was avoiding the beginning of a revolution on the night of 10th April. Imran Khan couldn't realize the opportunity that the people of Pakistan provided him by coming out of their homes to support him. Probably, IK was of the opinion that innocent citizens' blood would be shed if he leads the protesting citizens. However, he never knew that there will be a huge crisis in terms of all times record high 28% inflation in the country.

4. The fourth mistake that IK made was resigning from the National Assembly of Pakistan and providing free ground to the most corrupt political elites of Pakistan. By doing so he actually provided them another opportunity to further loot the resources of the people of Pakistan. As a result, Pakistan's reserves have fallen down from $22 billion to just $6 billion within 8 months only. Not only that but up to 50 million corruption has now become legal in Pakistan.

5. The fifth and final mistake that IK has made is canceling the long march to Islamabad. He is still unable to realize that nothing positive will happen in the interest of the people of Pakistan until and unless there is a severe reaction from the people of Pakistan. Today more than 120 million people in Pakistan live below the poverty line but nobody cares. This is a severe crisis and an alarming situation but IK is not understanding this critical situation.

Conclusion

Imran Khan needs to understand that the corrupt elite including politicians, bureaucrats, military generals, media houses, and judges have a very strong nexus to secure their illegal wealth which they have generated by looting the resources of Pakistan and its people. Therefore, they would never ever let IK come into power again rather they will try everything possible including creating havoc in the country.

On the other hand, IK needs to understand that no nay foreign country can harm Pakistan until and unless the powerful people from Pakistan offer their support. Similarly, Pakistan can't progress and come out of the crisis until and unless the most powerful but corrupt individuals including military generals, judges, politicians, and bureaucrats are held accountable and punished severely.

Single National Curriculum (SNC): Its Pros & Cons

Single National Curriculum 2020 Background Pakistan is a multi-lingual, multi-cultural, and multi-ethnic country where around 74 different languages are spoken. Out of these 74 different languages, 66 languages are indigenous while the remaining 8 are non-indigenous. Urdu is the national language while English is the official language of Pakistan. Similarly, Pakistan is the thick and second-largest Muslim-populated country in the world. Approximately 96.5% (≈210 million) people are Muslims, out of which around 85-90% are Sunni and the remaining are the Shia sect Muslims. These two major sects are further subdivided into different groups on the basis of their particular schools of the so-called Islam ic law. On the other hand Pakistani nation is divided on the basis of political parties, ethnicity, sectarianism, culture, customs, traditions, rituals, socio-economics, and educational differences. The current government has therefore developed and devised Single N...

Definition and Scope of Statistics (Quantitative Reasoning Course)

Quantitative Reasoning Course for BS Honours Level Students Definition and Scope of Statistics Statistics is the branch of mathematics that deals with the collection, analysis, interpretation, presentation, and organisation of data. It provides tools and methods to make sense of numerical information, identify patterns, draw inferences, and make informed decisions under uncertainty. The scope of statistics is broad and interdisciplinary: Descriptive Statistics : Summarises and describes the features of a dataset, such as calculating means, medians, or creating charts to visualise data. Inferential Statistics : Uses sample data to make generalisations or predictions about a larger population, often involving hypothesis testing, confidence intervals, and regression analysis. Applied Fields : Extends to economics (e.g., forecasting trends), biology (e.g., clinical trials), social sciences (e.g., surveys), engineering (e.g., quality control), and data science (e.g., machine learning m...

Quantitative Reasoning Statistical Basics

Measures of Central Tendency Measures of central tendency are the specific statistical values which describe the typical values or central position of a dataset. The three most common single statistical values include Mean, Median and Mode. Arithmetic Mean : Average of all values (sum divided by count). Geometric Mean : nth root of the product of values (used for growth rates). Harmonic Mean : The Reciprocal of the average of reciprocals (used for rates like speed). Median : Middle value when data is ordered. Quartiles : Values dividing data into four equal parts (Q1=25th, Q2=50th=median, Q3=75th percentile). Mode : Most frequent value. Measures of Dispersion Range : Difference between maximum and minimum values. Quartile Deviation : Half the interquartile range (Q3 - Q1)/2. Mean Deviation : Average absolute deviation from the mean. Variance : Average squared deviation from the mean. Standard Deviation : Square root of variance (spread in original units). Coefficient of Varia...

Dilema of Democracy & Political Leadership Crisis in Pakistan

Dilemma of Democracy & Political Leadership Crisis in Pakistan Overview Since mid 20th century, Democracy is being considered the most accomplished process and a form of government where only people’s representatives have the right and authority to run the affairs of the state including forming certain constitutional rules and regulations. Through democracy, people choose their representatives following a well-defined system of voting. The elected representatives then govern the affairs of the state on behalf of their people for a certain period of time (usually 4 to 5 years). These representatives actually ensure the authority and rule of law for their people in the larger interests of any nation, state, or country. On the other hand, they are also held accountable and responsible for their actions and exercising of the powers within certain limitations as defined in the constitution or legislated through parliament. Although Pakistan is a pure democratic...

Sampling Techniques

Sampling Techniques: Quantitative Reasoning Course for BS Honours Level Students Sampling technique involves selecting a subset of a population to study, enabling researchers to draw quantitative, qualitative and mixed conclusions about the larger group without studying everyone. In Linguistics and Education or in any other field of study, sampling is crucial because populations (e.g., language speakers, students, teachers, customers, users, and viewers etc.) are often large and diverse, making it impractical to study every individual. The choice of sampling technique impacts the study’s validity, generalisability, and feasibility. Types of Sampling Techniques Basically, there are two main types of sampling techniques that are further subdivided. Both of these types including subtypes are explained below with examples. 1. Probability Sampling (Random-based, ensures every unit has a known chance of selection) Simple Random Sampling : Every individual in the popul...

AFGHANISTAN CRISES: WHERE DOES PAKISTAN STAND?

Afghanistan Crises and Pakistan Background According to history, Afghanistan has remained a war zone and a plan to invade central and south Asia for a long time. All of the invaders' troops entered South Asia through Afghanistan, from the Aryans to the Mughals. Afghanistan was the target of two major invasions in recent history. The former Soviet Union (USSR) launched its first invasion in December 1979, which lasted until 1989 and culminated in the dissolution of the Soviet Union into a number of distinct states. However, a significant portion of the formal USSR's territory, now known as the Russian Federation, is still there. As a result of the so-called September 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center in New York, the United States of America (USA) and its NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) allies, including Great Britain, launched the second invasion in 2001. Al-Qaeda's leader, Usama Bin Ladin, was allegedly blamed for the 9/11 attacks and claims that Al-Qa...
