Imran Khan is playing in the hands of the military establishment – by Ali Aftab (Beygairat Brigade)
Lead singer of Beygairat Brigade, Ali Aftab, asks some tough questions about Imran Khan and the sinister role of Pakistani establishment behind his PTI.
And here I am thinking, can PTI clean sweep the next elections? Do they even have candidates in Sindh, Balochistan or Southern Punjab for that matter? Is it going to remain the party of unsullied eggs if the likes of Shah Mehmood Qureshi and Mushahid Hussain join it? And let’s not forget, even if they don’t make an alliance with any party at the moment, won’t they inevitably have to after the elections? Then, who will it be with? Cracking the shell in two, if PTI just ends up placing a pixie dent in PML(N)’s electorate bum, who will benefit from that? Should PPP support PTI for future dharnas in Punjab?
Even if rumour has it, I will have the facts on the rocks: the establishment always assures that there are no hurdles when they support someone in a vested cause. Keeping in mind that it’s Shahbaz Sharif’s government in Punjab, Imran Khan’s impeccably smooth jalsa in Lahore is an unmistakable indication of the above; his peaceful protest against drones in Peshawar is the other. Also, Mian Nawaz’s perpetual grudge against the army was evident in the APC when he addressed General Kayani by saying where there’s smoke there’s fire.
That can be taken as acknowledging the US point of view to some extent and the beef in the establishment’s ‘kosher’ menu card. With Sharif’s guns trained on them, maybe the powers that be are looking for other props?
Moving on, Imran Khan is very determined about keeping a check on the assets of the current political figures. But shouldn’t these good intentions begin at home? A well-known political analyst from PTI said that Imran’s annual income culminates to 2 crores from which he donates around 1 crore to Shaukat Khanum and other non-profit institutions. But one can’t but have conjectures about where the dough is coming from for all his campaigning. The lighting at Minar-i-Pakistan that day was very well. And then there was the new campaign style introduced by IK – inviting singers to jalsas and covering their boarding and lodging.
There were also the caravan of floaters (publicity vans) that roamed around the city with Imran’s posters. These ring a bell in one’s mind about the finances. Given Imran’s insistence that party members aren’t rich enough, one has to ask: where is the money coming from?
Imran Khan also announced his visit to China during his jalsa to which he went and quietly ironically (I must consider it situational irony) he came back on a private plane which seemed to be arranged by state authorities. In what capacity did he go there? A couple of days prior to the eye-opening and white-washing jalsa, China seemingly put Pakistan in a critical position (Though not embarrassing) by asking for establishing military bases in FATA, definitely to counter the rising danger of extremism in Xinxiang. Imran, perhaps would have to take a contradictory position if he agreed to the “demands” put forward by China.
Imran would be supporting the Taliban for their cause in Afghanistan and simultaneously would be discouraging Muslim separatists in Xinxiang. If he goes to Saudi Arabia or the Middle East after this, won’t it be more conclusive that he is playing in the hands of the establishment?
I was terribly disappointed with some analysts as they predicted Imran denting both right- and left-wing vote banks by offering prayers on stage and then letting the musicians play music before his speech. Is playing music all that is required to prove your ‘liberal’ ‘leftist’ credentials? These things once meant entirely something else. That it has come down to this tells us a lot.

Hahahahah..u luzer singer, i congrats u by having 2nd shot of being famouse, bcoz u r song didnt hear anybody, so u desperately needs to insult the person who is the hero of the nation since he was 20, and now he is 58. All ur article is based on suppositions and proof less. only one thing is to be sured from ur song and article that u are a jiala, if i go according to ur based less and personal argumentation article suppose army is supporting imran khan, than it means that Pakistan Army is good and want Pakistan to be freed from the high rank officers of corruption which are destroying Pakistan and u r supporting them. Keep it up buddy. u need pity. Say thanks to Establishment which allowed NRO and Anti Imran Khan came into power. U need to worship establishment if u r anti establishment.
I agreed with Ali on this – I guess Imran Khan’s rhetoric is bringing more confusion among youth then ever – in one side he is exposing corruption and bad governance of politicians but on the other side completely ignoring the fact that military establishment is the one who is running the actual show in this country since 1959 and they are responsible for most of the problems we facing now.
Moreover his favour for Taliban and extremists is bringing another wave of confusion on fundamental issue of growing extremism that is brining this country down faster than ever
People already have a sense of Imran Khan’s association with establishment. It depends upon the voter decision, they need an establishmental figure or democratic figure. In my opinion, voting pattern may not change significantly except in Punjab.
Ali Aftab,
Excellent to see your clear thought process and daring writing. Keep up the good work. Imran Khan is leading a pack of cards, which will have a domino effect i.e. when they all fall down
Interesting to see that mainstream media want to have poster boys like Ali Moeen Nawazish and Samad Khurram on their channels, but not people like Ali Aftab!
excellent post.the way imran khan offered the prayers in front of a large crowd amidst media coverage ,it reminded me of , mard-e-momin, gen.zia-ul-haq. he used 2 apply the same tactics 2 allure the right wing vote bank. my Q z how can we expect a ”change” 4m the future ‘amir-ul-momineen’, if all the turn coats r joining PTI folds.Will these ‘opportunists’ allow him 2 bring the much talked about ‘change’ in the current political structure. no sir, this ain’t possible.the ”new” PTI ‘polticians’ will not hesitate 2 ditch imran if he tries 2 go against their ‘interests’
. why cant imran ‘dare’ 2 give the ‘common man’ a chance 2 stand in the elections on his party ticket. why form an alliance with ”corrupt” politicians of PML-Q like- minded group, JI etc. he has already ”failed” his ”vote bank”.and in what capacity he wants other politicians 2 declare their assets. why cant he declares his own wealth and how he ‘earned’ it.not 2 forget his confession of being involved in cricket ‘satta'(gambling). he always criticises other politicians that their children r settled abroad. what about his own kids. in a recent interview he said that he z happy that his kids r ”safe” in ‘England’ with their mother. imran khan z no great politician .he z just a loud mouth confrontational type. his criticism z limited 2 polticians only. will he hold military responsible 4 all the mess it has created, the influence it has on the country’s foreign policy, and even much talked about drone strikes…
congrats 2 he establishment that they got a replacement 4 the sharif’s of punjab. GAME ON HAI…

Why r u shouting Zain? Even if he has a ghost writer, better mortals than him have used them. His political sixth sense is entirely his and he has the right to express it as he wishes. The lad is a graduate in English literature and Philosophy, which few people can boast of. Speaking English have killed many a brain in our parts and he was speaking urdu with Dutt who is a Punjabi like him otherwise he has held his own against an American anchor in Aljazeera. Can u speak english for ten minutes nonstop in the new language scene that is morphing the world over?
Zain,
All morons of PTI are like you blind followers of imran.
Your responses indicates mentality of you and your leader
You can not listen criticism and always use abusive language.Everyone has his own point of view.just creat patienence in yourself and stop abusing others.It is sing of a muanafiq what imran did on stage(offering prayers followed by musical concert.If he was so much concerned about prayres he can go to badshahi mosque 100 meters away.All this drama at stage was to getmedia attention.
foolish try to become famous.
who knows this bullshit.today Allama iqbal’s grandson joins PTI. every positive optimistic person is with imran khan.
let this garbig stand on other side, allo andday hi bechay ga ye saari umer
PTI has lots of overseas members like ~2200 who donate USD 10,20,30 monthly, it generates few million rupees every month for day to day party affairs and cost of jalsas etc..
Hi

ur whole tract does make any sense…. this seems to u that & that seems to you this …. let u ask u a question who is opposing drones in the current political scenario?only Imran & who is the perpetuator of this mayhem … US & our establishment has nodded for that …is hard earned money sin in your dictionary ?U narrated about music … it was niether indian remix songs nor western pop music …. there was a message hidden in it.Instead of conjecturing come up with ascertained facts or plzz dont squander our time
PTI & MQM are teamed-up.Both are players ov Establishment.MQM & PTI will not say anything to eachother..PTI Leader Imran used Pathatic & Uncivilized language 4 shareef Brothers as “Dengue Brother”..See tha language ov Eduacted Imran khan.Actaully Imran khan is on footstep ov Altaf Hussain.& PTI workers are Footsteps of MQM workers
junaid lahore
good post. ali keep up the good work.
Nawaz Sharif is and will always remain man of establishment.It is Shahbaz Shareef meeting at the midnight hours. It is the Shareef Brothers who had a secret agreement deal with the establishment.And it was only Imran Khan who at APC refused to sign the first draft so plz stop spreading propoganda against IK.
Could you plz get me the answer why Shahbaz Shareef did not resign in case of Raymond Davis if he was not part of the team with the establishment?
Extremely biased and questionable piece of writing. Bring me proof of ISI’s involvement. All you are doing is raising questions. Not giving any answers.
anything against PTI is “allegation”, this shows your fascist mind set as your leader has…PTI is getting funds from agencies because they found a new GOLD EGG laying goose…military establishment created Jmat-e-Islami to break Mujeeb Ur rehman (bangladesh) Bhutto 2 break Muslim League…he went out of hand he is hung 2 death, Nawaz Shareef created to break PPP, thanks God he escaped from his death after signing pardon letter and intervention on Saudies, now Nawaz Shareef is not in control and he learned from exile tht pakistan can only develop if we stand against military establishment…and our Khan sahib is playing in their hands..kionkay woh jantay hain kay PM baan naa hay tou boot licking tou karna paray ghee na?
i can say a lot over here (not against PTI or any other political party) but military establishment, the real enemy of Pakistan)…call me traitor now! guys open your mind!
khuda ki kasam Imran ky lahore ky jalse maay current Army Officers kyy Bachy aur Bachiyaan dance kar rhe thee…pehle 1 Anti-Estab party thi but now abb 2 anti-Estab parties hain PPP nd PML(N)..Establishment is very very afraid of thier future.Abb pakistan ki Awaam Jag gaye hai..Army Budget must be cut ,,so that Poor could not commit suicide due to Hunger.Pakistan Zindabad.Maira vote Nawaz Shareef ko jaye ga inshahAllah
kamraan afridi Peshawer
I THINK HIS POLITICAL AND SPORTS CAREER ARE SPOTLESS AND WE SHOULD BETTER TRY HIM INSTEAD OF KEEP ON CRYING ABOUT THE CORRUPTION OF THE EXISTING RULERS AND FOLLOW THEIR FOOT STEPS IN OUR SOCIAL LIFE….AAJ KA BACHCHA BACHCHA ZARDARI BAN CHUKA HAI…KHUDA K LIYE ITNE ZARDARION KA KIA KAREIN GE
ABHI BHI AGAR KOI PPP YA PML N YA MOLVION KO VOTE DE GA TO MERA FATWA HAI K US KA NIKAH TOOT JAYE GA
yaar kahana khane se phele khahane ka mazaq urana achi baat hai kia isi lye imran khan abhi government mein nai aya aur jahan tak establishment ka talluq hai agr establishment suppor ker bhi rahi hai to kia buri baat hai bhutto bhi establishment mein se he saamen aya tha.
I as a proud PTI troll as some may refer me, would love @aftab saeed: your criticism but will not take your criticism on implausible grounds and mere accusations, you have your freedom of speech but you can be legally charged for being slanderous/defamation and stereotyping a false decree which for that matter you have done so by saying, ISI is behind Imran khan’s growing popularity? ISI or PTI may entice a few individuals or street marts to attend their jalsa, promising monetary redemption in return but can not entice families/girls/or what you say BURGER KIDS with that amount of money, plus when DUNIYA news showed how PML-N enticed people for attending their JALSA, why not an article written against that? WHy not, i need an answer? you have your freedom of speech, but you are exceeding the limits of now exploiting it, which as repercussions you would have to face!
Plus ISI sponsoring PTI (Do you have a proof? NO, don’t ask me to believe in what psuedo intellectuals like NAJAM SETHI/NUSRAT JAVED have to say, as they say what is injected upon them at the behest of their superior!
What actually are your criticism
1. Imran khan didn’t stood up for Salman taseer? Why don’t you ask the same question from Nawaz sharef/zardari or anyone else? secondly, according to your clan member NASIM ZAHRA – he has CATEGORICALLY CONDEMNED ST assassination, so what do you want? shall he Kill himself to (MAKE YOU HAPPY-SUIT AMERICA)?
2. ISI sponsored – No NAJAM SETHI/NUSRAT pseudo intellects rhetoric – GIVE ME A PROOF (I’m a corporate lawyer, practiced 8 yrs in UK crown courts, at least i’d never believe in it without an evidence rather consider it as an attempt to stereotype a false decree
3.Hes a Jammati, had he been JAMATI – he would’ve never given a safe exit to USA in APC meeting, where he urged to allow US a safe exit – allow negotiations & LET AMERICA GO, WE DON’T NEED AMERICA ANY MORE! BY HOOKS OR BY CROOKS, SEND THEM AWAY, while the rest puppets half of them even walked away as 2pm till 11pm, IMRAN HELD ALL ON THEIR FEET.
4.I’ve pretty much cleared his source of income
Recent book launch, personal history yielded him million
vice chancellor of bradford uni
PTI donations like myself
Agricultural declared land – TAXED
AND YES SHAUKAT KHANUM FUNDS ARE AUDITED BY FERGUSONS UK SO THAT PRETTY MUCH ANSWERS YOUR QUESTION ON TRANSPARENCY!
AND HIS LAHORE JALSA WAS NOT FROM PUBLIC FUNDS LIKE PML-N BUT WHY DOESN’T YOUR SOCH REACH TO THESE EXTENTS? WHY NOT AN ARTICLE AGAINST NAWAZ WHO USED YOUR TAX MONEY TO ORGANIZE HIS RALLY?
SPEAK UP! ONLY BECAUSE HE’S A NICE SHAVED AMERICAN TESTICLE, WHICH PERFECTLY SUIT YOUR PURPOSE TOO?
ALL POLLS SHOW, ASK ANY ANCHOR PRIVATELY BEHIND CAMERA, WHOSE THEIR FAV POLITICIAN – FACEBOOK AND THE 500,000 PEOPLE INEVITABLY SPEAKS FOR ITSELF WHAT PEOPLE WANT – CHANGE! BUT UNDER IMRAN KHAN ONLY
BUT YOU ARE STRANGULATING DEMOCRACY BY MOCKING AND RUBBING OFF PEOPLES VOICE, WHICH THEY HAVE PERIODICALLY EXPRESS OVER N OVER, TIME N TIME AGAIN N AGAIN ON INTERNET POLLS!
THIS INCEPTION OF YELLOW JOURNALISM IN PAKSITAN IS CATASTROPHIC AND WE ARE ACTUALLY DIVIDED, EVERY BEARDED MAN IS A RADICAL MULLAH, EVERY CLEAN SHAVED IS PRO AMERICAN!
THANKS TO YOU – INSTEAD OF HELPING US FILL THIS VACUUM OF DISPARITY AMONG BEARDED-GILLETTE, YOU’VE IGNITED IT! REFUELED IT
IMRAN KHAN IS A PEACE LOVER, REMEMBER HIS SOLUTION FOR TARGET KILLING IN KARACHI WAS ENDORSED BY EVEN NUSRAT JAVED WHEN HE CATEGORICALLY SAID THAT, MILITARY IS NO SOLUTION – IMPOSE GOVERNOR RAJ, WHICH LATER WAS IMITATED BY THE PHOTOCOPY LEAGUE PML-N(NALAIK)
HE IS A PEACE LOVER, HILARY AGAINST HAQANI HAQANI – WHERE R THE HAQANIS NOW? WHY IS SHE NOW ASKING HAQANI NETWORK TO REACH PEACE DIALOGUE? WHEN IMRAN KHAN KEPT SAYING TO DO SO, COZ THEY ALL KNOW MILITARY IS NO SOLUTION!
BUT YOU KEEP PROVOKING IT BY SAYING KILL,KILL,KILL
DARE TO CATEGORICALLY DENOUNCE DRONE THE WAY YOU DENOUNCE QADRI,HAFIZ SAEED,ESTABLISHMENT,IMRAN KHAN!
YOUR FORTUNATE, DRONE HASN’T DROPPED DOWN IN YOUR ROOF YET, BUT BE VERY CAREFUL, IT MIGHT AND THEN I’LL ASK YOU – TO WRITE ANOTHER SONG DRONE GANDAY DANDAY!
@ HAROON: FOR THOSE WHO SAYING ESTABLISHMENT CREATED JAMATI – PPPP ETC WHY WOULD ESTABLISHMENT CREATE A PARTY 16 YRS AGO? TO BREAK WHOM? PPPP WELL FOR THAT MATTER, THEY WERE ALREADY SETTING THE STAGE UP FOR PML-N, SO WHY WOULD THEY ACTUALLY HAVE THE NEED OF MAKING ANOTHER PARTY? WOULDN’T THEY BE SANE ENOUGH TO MERGE PTI (HAD IT BEEN FORMED FOR THAT PURPOSE) WITH PML-N TO AMPUTATE PEOPLES PARTY? USE COMMON SENSE AND LOGIC
@kamraan afridi: So you are qasameing ka PTI ka jalsa par generals ki betiyan naach rai thein? YOU WOULD ONLY KNOW AND SPEAK ABOUT IT, HAD YOU ATTENDED THE JALSA, but now you’re saying you’ll vote for SHAREEF – Hypocrisy!
plus why would a dancing girl ever tell YOU, that she’s the daughter of a GENERAL? AND WHY WOULD A 3 STAR GENERAL SEND HIS/HER KIDS to a jalsa bigger than Benazirs keeping in mind the security!
so please keep away your stupidity1
@Zain
Haroon Rasheed wrote in his article in Jang that Gen Hamid Gul sent him to Imran to persuade him to enter into politics. He is an agent of the mullah military alliance. With people like Shirin Mazari, Hamid Gul and Haroon Rasheed, ISI is written all over it.
Party leaders of PTI participated in rallies which called for release of Mumtaz Qadri, the murderer. Imran is a hypocrite; he says different things for different people.
Imran never speaks against the army or ISI which are the main beneficiaries of US alliance whether its SEATO CENTO, Afghan jihad or war on terror. He is silent over policy of strategic depth. He never feels pain when children from poor families are recruited by ISI and jihadi groups and dumped in Afghanistan and Kashmir.
Osama’s 14 kids and 3 wives are in custody of Pak army, the same institution which is being accused of protecting him to extract dollars. Come out of the state of denial. Use some common sense!
What do you mean by liberal clan. I am not a murderer like ISI sponsored terrorist groups and its apologists. I am a liberal, I thank God I am not a part of Zia’s lost generation.
Wait for few months. The lotas of other parties are going to take ovet PTI. And once they join PTI, you will hail them as revolutionaries.
You are enjoying life abroad and asking us to live in the Taliban hell. US doesn’t live in Afghanistan. Their 800 schools are not being blown up by Taliban. 120,000 American female students haven’t been forced out of school. 1000 American maliks haven’t been assassinated by Taliban. Taliban-LEJ nexus killed thousands in mazaars and Imam bargahs, not Churches in US. Taliban are sectarian terrorists of Deobandi madrassas. There is not a single barelwi or Shia Taliban; they are not pushtoon nationalists.
Good Try Dude. Nice to see that you have started writing on poltics and a lot of friends felt like you are getting involved into Politics already. But i would like to suggest please read history of all the politicians and that you are making a mistake to show support in your discussions on National TV channels.
For example, you talked about Nawaz showing concern at APC, which shows that he is Anti Establishment. I think its not enough proof when he and his brother are playing double game with Public. In a recent interview Ch. Nisar of PMLN has accepted that Gen.Kiyani is a good friend of Ch. Nisar and Shehbaz and they have met 6 times in recent months. while Nawaz Keep us showing that PMLN is anti establishment party. Actually Nawaz has personal issues after Musharraf incident and he has a habit of not forgiving behaviour at all times in his politics, starting from his conflicts with Mr Jonejo, Mr, Ishaq Khan, Mr Laghari, Mr Sajjad Hassan Shah, Mr Abdul Waheed Kakar, Mr Asif Nawaz Janjua, Mr Jehangir karamat and then Mr Musharraf. I am not saying Nawaz was always wrong, but he has this habbit.Its not the way to run the country, its a way to ruin the country. This is what he had done partly.
Oh so making fun of Zohair Toru for burger eating mummy daddy is okay but Twink brigade is homophobic?
I just wanted to invite him to visit Peshawar and asked these twinks to duck tape there derriere incase someone attacks it!!!
I don’t think that establishment is behind Imran. But i want to know. Is Zardari is man of establishment? If yes, then why should establishment support Imran Khan. Establishment can continue to support Zardari because they can do every thing what they want in presence of Zardari. And if Zardari is not part of establishment and he is on the way to destroy Pakistan, than should our establishment just watch it silently? Should they allow Zardari to destroy the country. Being Pakistani why establishment cannot try to bring a suitable person for the betterment of Pakistan.
@Mudassar, Yeah “sada haq” is a Pakistani song! and why did Shehzad Roy’s song “Laga reh” which had the lines “Naik woh hay jissay moqaa nahee mila” not played?
@Zain, you are one committed supporter of Imran Khan. Hopefully, the GBP 25,000 that you have donated to PTI and SKMT yield results and help PTI get some votes. Then, that money will be well spent. Another point zain, how can there be “proofs” of ISI supporting Imran Khan? Will there be receipts or signed agreements between Imran Khan and ISI or will Imran Khan have signed a contract with them? Such things are fluid and based on mutual understanding. Bradford University pays him? Wasnt he a Chancellor, which is an honorary position? He is not a Vice Chancellor, a position which makes you work, teach and lead the administration of a university. I just got a chance to read the Audited Financial Statements of University of Brandford (http://www.bradford.ac.uk/finance/media/Finance/Documents/FINAL_ACCOUNTS_09-10.pdf), The Chancellor and Members of Board of Trustees are not remunerated.
As far as drones are concerned, why should I denounce them? They are yielding results, which even the Pakistan Army (on whose side Imran Khan is) demands to keep on going!!!
They are yielding results, which even the Pakistan Army (on whose side Imran Khan is) demands to keep on going!!!
——————————
Put your foot in your mouth again Iqbalabadi, eh?
Imran is against drones and military supports them, isn’t that evidence that GHQ and Imran are not on incahoots unlike Zardari who is hands in glove with GHQ?
Why do you not talk about how Zardari is completely surrendered himself and PPP to GHQ, infact Late Benazir signed the NRO with the establishment. So there you go, that is the written proof of deals with establishment, similarly how Nawaz Sharif signed a 10 year deal and a “maafi Nama” is proof of his deals.
No one has any proof of PTI collaborating with GHQ, instead it’s all just propoganda against PTI by opponents which includes LUBP and PMLN media cell.
Is MQM a political party or a terrorist organization? Are they not supported by the establishment? Is PPP not in a coalition government with them?
Pehlay apnay gareban mein jhahankoo!!
Did this really happen that Imran Khan went and spoke at Lal Masjid? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cjTVivQcHQs
Any other refutable proof that he is hand in hand with ISI?
very logical piece pf writting..there is no doubt in it that imran is launched and supported by establishment,Imran Khan(talib Khan) is a confused politician. Being a pukhtoon and resident of wazeeristan let me ask him some questions.
Dear Talib Khan,
1)why you are opposoing Drone attacks in Wazeeristan which are cleaning the mess like Baitullah Mehsood, Nek mohmad wazeer,Tahir Yaldesh, Abu hamza, Alyamni, Atia abdurrehman, Ilyas Kashmiri, Qari Hussain, Molvir Umar, Bin yameen and many many more bastards like them which have made the local people hostages and have killed more than 1000 local tribal elders??
2)are you not listening that more than 2000 school are being destroyed in Khyber Pukhtoonkhwa by your friends taliban. why you are not protesting against the destruction of schools?
3)our social society in khyber pukhtoonkhwa has been converted to natural society having no order by your friends (taliban) by balsting homes, hujras, funerals, mosques, shrines, markets etc, are you blind?? you are not seeing it, ot you are seeing it by the eyes of establishment and in context of Strategic Depth??
4) you are saying that we should initiate peace talks with taliban. my dear “Important” Khan, talks with whom, with those people for whom clean shaved people, people who have their painchas not above the level of ankles, girls education, polio vaccination is Kufar??
Here is the proof of Talib Khan’s links with establishment,watch what abdusattar edhi says
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOyLrVyZHJY
The same Edhi who was calling Muhib Watan jurnails to take over the country few weeks ago??
That’s really credible.
My dear Janjua, Imran Khan is just a pawn in the game that our Pakistan Army and ISI will use to achieve their ends. Trust me, the day Imran loses his shine, he will be out in no time. Army and ISI will use Imran to drumbeat about Nato Oil Supplies and Drone attacks while in the background deal for themselves. Dont you remember 6 months ago on the Raymond Davis issue? PTI and JI were used to talk up ghairat and then sell our ghairat for Rs. 200 million by Imran’s handlers!
A CHEAP publicity by this CHEAP guy.
@Iqbalabadi,
Imran doesn’t play in GHQ’s hands and you know it. He went up against drones because it was a matter of humanity. Him being a passionate human being, couldn’t come to terms with the collateral damage of drone attacks. I am not against drone attacks BTW, because I think they are bitter pill that we have to swallow.
Now, Army also is okay with them and that is an open secret. They don’t mind when drones kill TTP and they safegaurd their assets like Illyas Kashmiri.
Establishment would have to come down on it’s knees oneday and I truly believe Imran is the only one in the current political lot who can do that.
Politicians need to clean their own house before they can take on the establishment because corruption and incompetence is the biggest reason that overwhelming majority of Pakistanis still buy GHQ’s ghairat filled propoganda. If we root out corruption, we will root out establishment’s tool to blackmail politicians hence weakening the establishement.
Establishment needs to be defeated systematically, they won’t budge just by empty slogans like the ones Nawaz Sharif is hollering out nowadays.
Here is a question for all you PPP supporters, why aren’t you supporting Nawaz Sharif in the next elections since he is claiming to rid this country of establishment? Why are you still with PPP who proved to be the biggest pawn of establishment after Later Benazir’s death.
BTW, I am an ex-PPP voter, now I will be voting for Imran Khan along with my whole family who have voted for PPP since Bhutto days.
@janiya, mr.edhi has a right 2 express his political views as much as u guys(thats another question whether we agree with him or not).dont forget, mr.edhi has just commented in context 2 the present political situation in the country. infact, it was ur”hero/saviour” imran khan, who not only supported gen.musharraf but also voted 4 him in the parliament 2 elect him as the president ,thus prolonging his rule under which drones strikes and military operation in balochistan started. infact,what mr.edhi has said in his interview has exposed the real face of imran khan.
Satirical Video Attacks the Military-Religious Complex in Pakistan
Posted by ISHAAN THAROOR
Tuesday, November 8, 2011 at 3:03 pm
The video above, posted by a band of 20-something Pakistani musicians in the country’s cultural capital Lahore, has become a viral hit in South Asia. “Aalu Anday” or “Potato and Eggs” starts innocently enough but soon launches into a tongue-in-cheek attack on the country’s political establishment and its conservative, religious underpinnings. The group is named the “Beygairat” Brigade, meaning “without honor,” a jab at the Ghairat brigade, a term invoked in the Pakistani media grouping together some of the country’s most vocal nationalists and supporters of political Islam — the community very much at the receiving end of the musicians’ Punjabi satire. The song has not only made waves in Pakistan, but across the border in India, where the plight of Pakistan’s beleaguered liberals has won a lot of sympathy.
You can read more elaborate analysis of who and what gets ridiculed here and here, but in brief, the song, which has garnered more than 350,000 hits in less than a month, calls out:
Gen. Ashfaq Kayani, chief of the all powerful Pakistani army, for extending his tenure
well-known conservative and Islamist-friendly politicians such as former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif
