Surviving democracy

Surviving democracy
Dr. Jassim Taqui


While the whole nation is paralyzed by Panama Leaks, Imran Khan’s PTI is confusing the situation. PTI is holding demonstrations, demanding the accountability of Sharif brothers and their family. 

Ostensibly, Imran khan is repeating the blunder he committed by his sit-in on 14th August, 2014 and the lost opportunity when COAS Gen. Raheel Sharif offered mediation if Khan only gave up his demand that  PM resigned. Ultimately, Imran Khan lost everything while NS emerged victorious.

Presently, Imran Khan seems to be out of focus by his new agitation campaign. The Opposition both in National Assembly and the Senate have come strongly against Nawaz Sharif (NS).

Pressure has been tremendous on NS, whose sons Hussain Nawaz and Hassan Nawaz admitted that they owned off-shore companies but denying that their business was illegal.  Hence, Imran Khan should have raised the issue of NS’ corruption in the parliament and not into the streets.

One would wonder as what does Imran Khan wish to achieve: accountability or martial law?
