Imran Khan saw the cracks in the system long before most people even started questioning it. His criticism of the 18th Amendment wasn’t about opposing provincial rights, it was about what those rights turned into in practice.
On paper, the 18th Amendment was meant to strengthen democracy by devolving power from the center to the provinces, and further down to local governments. The idea was simple: bring governance closer to the people so resources, decision-making, and accountability actually reach the ground.
But reality played out differently.
Instead of empowering local bodies, power got trapped at the provincial level. In provinces like Sindh, that meant one dominant party and in many cases, a single political family holding disproportionate control over resources, administration, and decision-making. Wealth didn’t trickle down. Authority didn’t decentralize. It just shifted hands from Islamabad to provincial capitals without reaching the ordinary citizen.
This is where Imran Khan’s opposition came from. He believed real democracy isn’t just about shifting power, it’s about distributing it. Without strong, empowered local governments, the system remains top-heavy. The people at the grassroots, the ones the amendment was supposed to uplift stay locked out.
For him, governance wasn’t a game of musical chairs between elites. It was about building a system where institutions outlast individuals, and where access to resources isn’t determined by political loyalty.
Zooming out, his worldview stayed consistent beyond just internal politics. He pushed for peace in the region because he understood a deeper truth: endless conflict between countries like Pakistan, India, and Afghanistan doesn’t weaken states, it drains societies. Wars don’t just redraw borders; they hollow out futures. The real cost is always paid by ordinary people.
You can dominate a region through force for a time but resentment doesn’t disappear. It waits. It builds. And eventually, it answers back.
That’s why dialogue, however slow and frustrating, remains the only sustainable path forward.
Imran Khan’s stance whether one agrees with it or not was rooted in this idea: a strong country isn’t built through centralized control or perpetual conflict. It’s built by investing in its people, empowering them at the lowest levels, and choosing stability over short-term power. And that’s the part of the conversation that still echoes today.
I believe it is essential for all Pakistanis to come together for the betterment of Pakistan. What has happened in the past is history. Our focus should now be on planning for the future, where every voice holds significance. It is unjust to place blame solely on individuals for their past decisions. I value friends who are honest enough to tell me when I am wrong rather than those who steer me in wrong direction. I prefer people who acknowledge their limitations and understand that change within the system takes time, rather than those who only talk about fight and use me as means to their own ends.
The PTI movement stands for every Pakistani and the country's future. It is easy for opponents like Nawaz Sharif and Zardari to weaken institutions and criticize Pakistan when they are out of power. However, PTI’s approach should always be different. The party aims to protect Pakistan’s stability, recognizing the delicate fault lines and the risks of escalation. The key distinction is that PTI should genuinely fight for Pakistan’s progress like Khan envisioned, when others seem more focused on maintaining their hold on power, even at the expense of the nation stability.
We need to get that Imran Khan national feeling back where every time Khan would come to speak he would talk only about Pakistan and not one province or one people. PTI is the only national party left and it's your job to preserve it. It's the charo subo ki zanjeer now.
And to those wondering why I’m only expecting this from PTI, I’d say it’s because I’ve placed my trust in Imran Khan. I truly believe PTI represents Pakistan and its people, and I think Imran Khan genuinely cares about the country. Time we stop criticizing eachother and reconcile and start a new chapter. Pakistan needs us.

The current state of our healthcare system presents a significant challenge. While it is understandable to invest in areas that appear beautiful and hold importance but a more cost-effective approach can be taken, it is crucial to consider the long-term benefits of investing in our nation’s health. A healthy nation fosters a population of well-informed and capable individuals who can contribute to the nation’s prosperity and well-being. @elonmusk
Trying to make sense of this mess and hoping we can just sit and talk rather then fight which will only cause chaos and confusion and benefit our enemies. Reconciliation is the only way for Pakistan otherwise we will all loose. No more rajnikant politics. Politics needs to be practical not emotional now. Pakistan needs everyone to forget and forgive.
Things will change if we all sit and talk. The moment we as a nation realize that Pakistan issues can’t be solved by one individual or institution we will get on the right track. We need to stop hiding behind individuals and institutions and hold them all accountable and bring more young people into politics. the entire world needs babas to retire and new faces in politics.
There was a time when Imran Khan’s biggest strength wasn’t just his politics it was his tolerance for criticism. People could question him, challenge him, even disagree to his face and that space existed. That’s what made him different.
But somewhere along the way after his illegal incarceration , that culture flipped.
Today, say one thing against PTI or question a policy, and it feels like a pack gets unleashed. Not debate. Not discussion. Just noise, labels, and personal attacks. And the irony? This behavior is pushing more people away than it’s pulling in.
You can’t build a democratic mindset with a “with us or against us” mentality. That’s not change that’s just a recycled version of the same political culture PTI once stood against. Whether it’s jiyala, patwari, or now this new digital aggression, it all starts to look the same when criticism isn’t tolerated
Real leadership isn’t about silencing dissent. It’s about absorbing it, refining through it, and growing stronger because of it. When supporters become gatekeepers of who can speak and who can’t, the movement stops evolving. And when a movement stops evolving, people stop believing. Respect disagreement. That’s where real strength lives.

@OfficialShehr جب آپ جاہل لوگوں کو روز یہ لیکچر دیں گے کہ اپنا حق چھین لو، تو وہ یہی کریں گے۔ ہر آدمی نے خود کو ریاست سے بڑا سمجھ لیا ہے۔ پہلے فوج اور خاندانوں نے عوام کو جاہل بنایا، اور ماشاءاللہ باقی کسر سوشل میڈیا نے پوری کر دی۔ وقت آنے پر سب کو یہ تھپڑ بہت زور سے پڑے گا۔

Agreed. Free and fair election and then instead of revenge politics finally we get someone who works for the people with the right to implement thier policies fairly and if not then instead of offering extensions they should resign right there and not wait to be kicked out and then identify the problems in the systems. Khan should have left the goverment right at the start when he was forced to change his cabinet and was influenced by some good internal folks to appoint buzdar as cm. He was under too much pressure and didn’t had a clear majority to do anything and his mistake was to accept the PM post.
Absolutely! Every team deserves to have the home advantage. The idea of having fast wickets in subcontinent to make the game look fair is just silly. Do Australia or South Africa even make pitches that suit our players? We should use our home series to ensure we dominate anyone who comes to the subcontinent, and they should have the same advantage.
مجھے اُن لوگوں پر حیرانی ہوتی ہے جو سندھ اور کراچی کا حال دیکھنے کے باوجود گلگت بلتستان میں پیپلز پارٹی کو ووٹ دیں گے۔ اس سے کہیں بہتر ہے کہ ووٹ ہی نہ دیں، اور اگر عمران خان سے اتنی ہی الرجی ہے تو انتخابات کا رخ نواز شریف کے حق میں موڑ دیں۔ #Gilgit_Kaptaan_Ka#gilgit
