When Shah Rukh Khan’s global block-buster Pathan was released, the entire BJP, RSS and Modi government machinery went ahead to force the people of India to boycott his mega film/ But things went opposite, and it broke all records of popularity and revenue in the history of Indian cinema. The entire hinduvata machinery failed to get even 1 percent of their boycott results. When public likes someone or something, no brutal machinery can do anything to make the people stop their appreciation. Same is the case with Imran Khan. The world knows it, we know it, but the nut heads do know it, but would not accept it.
As support for Imran Khan surged ahead of the general election, the former prime minister reiterated that his only desire was for free and fair elections, saying he would like to talk to someone but there was no way to take power. . He said he didn’t need a “stick,” a reference to the country’s strong military establishment.
A Gallup poll released this week showed Khan’s approval rating rose from 36 percent in January to 61 percent in February. Khan also clarified that he never invited the army chief or Shahbaz Sharif to talk about the elections.
He clarified that his party has the support of the people of Pakistan and does not need military assistance and support.
According to Khan, the Supreme Court has ordered the government to hold elections within 90 days. The president also announced the election date. But when the Tehreek-e-Insaf announced an election rally long ago, the police suppressed the workers and violent incidents occurred. Many people were arrested and cars were destroyed.
Khan argued that the caretaker government’s primary responsibility was to hold elections. So it is difficult for his party to figure out how to avoid holding rallies and campaigning as they are an integral part of the election process.
The former prime minister said the government was afraid to face the voters. Tehreek-e-Insaf party has won 37 by-elections in a few months and the government’s reputation is very bad.
Khan said the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) fixed the election date as per the Supreme Court order. But it seems that the government does not care about the elections.
When asked about his strategy if the elections are not held on time, Khan said it was unconstitutional and an insult to the court as the Supreme Court had ordered it.
He added that if the elections are not held, the constitution and the law will be weakened.
Khan accused the People’s Democratic Party of trying to disqualify or imprison him to win the election.
