Of course Islamabad Talks are unprecedented, but so was 10 April 2022 & 8 Feb 2024 - if you cannot accept that then it’s nothing else but intellectual dishonestly. Only the whole truth will set us free.
Main hamesha socha karta tha ke jo log election walay din security pe mamur hotay hain woh vote kab dete hain? Ab pata chala ke unki polling raat ko shuru hoti hai.
KHAN'S MOMENT OF GLORY: The most graceful way to handle the massive defeat inflicted by the people on its own rogue generals would be for the top brass to immediately:
- Release Imran Khan and withdraw all the cases against him.
- Remove all restrictions on his party to resume political activities, including holding the National Assembly session.
- Remove all restrictions on the media to report Khan and his party, the most popular man in the country.
Khan in return should:
- Send a thank you message to the people for persevering, fighting back and winning.
- Call a mammoth rally at D-Chowk, Constitution Avenue, in a few days give his Charter of Reconciliation and Co-existence, calling upon all to work together and assuring all that he would not show vengeance and go for revenge.
- If there is unnecessary resistance and arrogance showed by some top Generals, the Army must ensure that for the country to get back to a normal existence, retirement of 3-4 persons should not be a high price.
After all, the top generals won small battles against Khan, BUT HE WON THE ULTIMATE WAR. THIS MUST BE ACCEPTED.
What you are seeing on your TV screens ie the apparent landslide victory of PTI backed independent candidates over mainstream parties — THIS is the mood I saw in every district in central Punjab last week. Just Wow.
