"Hope" is the stimulus for any movement to be a revolution . Any movement needs hope in hearts of every member who is part of that movement and if by any means this stimulus is disturbed then whole movement can lose its momentum and die before causing the change for which it was started , Its being the rule and it will remain the rule . The movement i want to talk about today is , " Movement of justice " by Imran Khan that was started in 1996 but it got attention of everyone in 2011 when Imran Khan held a series of processions across the country and mobilized people of Pakistan specially youth by filling their hearts with "Hope" . Hope to see a change , Hope to end enormous corruption in Pakistan , Hope to bring rule of law hence Hope to build a " Naya Pakistan ".
Imran Khan had been saying such things since 1996 , and he had same charisma in his personalty
even at that time too plus he had huge fan following . But the "Hope" factor never grew in those 16 year of his struggle untill people of pakistan saw simultaneus failure of both PPP and PMLN govts. After watching their choices , PPP and PMLN, fail yet again the commoner got attracted towards 3rd option automatically. The slogan of "Change" was raised and people followed it madly there was hype in every street and every town about IK and Change . Hope was evident in all people who saw or heard the Tsunami jalsa of pti. People put their all hopes on IK as the last option . Then started a huge inflow of strong candidates from all over Pakistan who started joining PTI at rapid rate . And in 3 months after 30th Oct jalsa , PTI had got hundreds of candidates bringing enormous criticism and media trial with them for PTI as gift.
On one side it looked good that PTI had got so many candidates
while on the other hand two very harmful factors came into being . First , there was criticism from all media and other political parties who wished to malign the name of PTI to damage hope created by IK . second, internal fights of old and new started in every city and party leadership started to feel pressure from old guard and newcomers both . The good thing Khan had done was he never promised ticket to anyone and all people joining PTI joined it unconditionally. But still party was totally disorganized by the infighting and immature behavior by old PTI workers who had very less knowledge of politics . To solve this ugly scenario party took the bravest step in history of Pakistan politics , to hold party elections from UC to Chairman , a thing that never happened before in Pakistan or any country of south Asia . Khan valued his followers and old party workers and transferred all power to them to elect their own leaders themselves, all the local organizations were dissolved .
Party membership was done and elections were announced which kept on
delaying because the members party got after membership was 3 times greater than what party had expected. This was the time when PTI totally went into a shell and instead of doing work in different areas and constituencies , they started organizing their party and to organize 10 million members can never be an easy task we can judge that. After delays the elections in party started from Islamabad and finished in November there , then KPK elections are still going on after several delays . Punjab , Sindh , Baluchistan are yet to happen and 40 days remain in desolation of assemblies at maximum. Where these elections gave very good messages to workers it also started damaging the hope of Pakistanis . All political parties worked hard in field to gain ground this year and PTI was lost in a shell , being busy in hectic party elections. Politics of Pakistan saw many things where PTI should have been out with people of Pakistan but the leadership is in no situation to take such decisions because no local body of PTI exists so far anywhere except Islamabad
The hope that everyone talked about an year ago started to fade away as many Pakistanis saw other political parties gaining grounds , bringing in electables and making alliances and PTI remained silent all this time. A common man who has put his bet on IK started to get confused and started saying IK came with a bang but he has slowed down too much , he is seen nowhere now and we don't think he can win now as other parties have prepared themselves while PTI is still waiting for its own elections which are scheduled to end in March . On the other hand IK is still standing by his statement that PTI will sweep elections . One thing is clear and IK knows it too , he has to finish this party election thing as quickly as possible now and prepare for the real elections and real battle .
IK has point of view that PTI will sweep elections because they need just 60 days
to create a wave of tsunami all over Pakistan . After which the party ticket will get the votes , the votes of "Change" and the votes of "Hope" on which IK is relying now. Asad Umar is being made the head of election campaign for PTI and he will do it on marketing basis in which he is an expert undoubtedly . The campaign will be named "Naya Pakistan " and will be run by volunteers . It is said to start in end of feb or start of March . On thing is clear Khan is not relying on big names , nor is he running after candidates he just want to prove in public that his party PTI is the party of "Change" and 80% Pakistanis are willing for change now . If IK succeeds in proving this point in public and if he succeeds in bringing that voter of change to pooling booths then there is no stopping , but if trend remains the same as it had been in past elections where families and educated people don't bother to vote on election day then PTI got no chance against the veterans of politics . That "Hope" for "Change" is to be kept alive in hearts of Pakistanis if PTI really wants to sweep elections , its fading , its dying but still in some corner of hearts of everyone there is a ray of hope . Khan has to just reach their hearts once again to bring that hiding ray out . Being Muslims our hopes should never die and we should hope for good and pray for good from Allah. As far as PTI and its campaign is concerned ,
Its either 120 seats for PTI or just 20 .
What happens is yet to be seen and many things are
yet to be unfold in coming days and election positions will be decided when care taker setup is formed and PTI comes out with full fledged campaign. But there remains a question which everyone asks to oneself daily ,
" Will Imran Khan be able to create a wave and "Hope" before elections or not???? "
