Imran Khan, the infamous Cricketing Legend is on the streets these days and calling for the present elected Prime Minister of Pakistan to step down and resign unconditionally. He says that the General Elections held in 2013 were rigged on a massive scale and the present government has lost the moral grounds to retain power.
Yesterday, he asked his followers to initiate a civil disobedience movement and a deadline of 48 Hours, for the PM to resign, was also laid in the process. He says the he would not be able to stop the crowed of thousands if his demands are not met within the given time.

I would just analyse in points what actually is happening in Pakistan and around, keeping in discussion the significance of Khan's Movement and a little psychological analysis of Pakistan’s politicians.
Pakistan
1: Pakistan is 3rd Asian and 7th global atomic power having number of uranium based atomic war heads.
2: Pakistan’s defense forces have been at war for long with localized as well as foreign terrorists and extremists. The economic and social structure is shaken if not stirred as a result.
3: Extremist or militant mind set prevails all over Pakistan in several forms. However, it can be identified quite easily.
4: Pakistan has porous borders especially Pak-Afghan boundary line famous as Durand line.
5: The ideological structure, as quoted over the years, is based on the Two Nations Theory that is, Hinduism and Islam are two different religions so, the Hindus and the Muslims are two different nations. The said theory has provided basis for large scale conflicts between Pakistan and India. For some Islamic-Nationalists, the very theory has become a part of religion. For others, it is just foolish. Logic dictates that after the partition of Indian Subcontinent in 1947, the Two Nations Theory should have been left behind and forgotten for progress and prosperity of both the nations.
1(a): It is noticeable in the light of history why the Two Nations Theory was devised.
1(b): A religious thought was given as the base unit of Pakistan’s foreign policy. It is clear that a foreign policy based on religion can never bring harmony and peace to the region. It is true in Indian subcontinent as well as in the Middle East. Thoughts of than young Pakistani nation are now deep rooted in 68 years and policies can divert from Islam and go astray but cannot divert from the agenda ‘based on’ Islam.
Pakistani Politician:
Pakistani politician is a man who;
1: thinks that power requires money not the merit.
2: thinks that anybody can come to power if he has the ‘power’ to do so.
3: thinks that speaking truth that hides many lies is much better than telling a lie that unveils many truths.
4: thinks that education, especially the field of Literature, is unnecessary.
5: thinks that retaining power require the subjects to be ignorant and illiterate.
6: thinks that ordinary people do not have a right to information.
7: thinks that Tax is something to only be paid by the poor. Many times the rich is exempted. Many big fish in Pakistan do not pay taxes because the government has allowed for them not to do so. Poor pay taxes and do not get a reward. Rich do not pay and get all the rewards.
8: is a person who (in 95% of the case) does not have education in important disciplines of governance. He does not deliver because he does not know.
9: plays random not tactical in local and international politics. So, if he plays a hundred times, a hundred times he is defeated.
10: is thought to be someone who can have knowledge of anything other than politics. This thought is often proved to be true.
Pakistan Now:
This is year 2014 and Mr. Muhammad Nawaz Sharif has got back power for the 3rd time. To understand who actually Mr. Muhammad Nawaz Sharif is to understand that he is an industrialist.
The question is; can he run the country well? Well, with the urge to take his own industry forward, the answer is, NO. Than the question is; who is running Pakistan today? Well, materially more than 900 hundred great politicians and virtually, No One. Pakistan has been permitted to run at its own for decades. In Pakistan, politicians come to power by the people for their own selves.
On the other hand, there is a challenger emerged from a playground.
Who is Imran Khan?
1: Mr. Imran Khan is ethnically a Pashtun.
2: He is emotional and dictators like figure as Pashtuns are. 3: He believes on his ears more than his eyes and mind.
4: He knows nothing of politics yet he believes that he knows everything.
5: He has no regard for difference of opinion.
6: He uses slangs in his speeches too often and forgets honour of his own as well as of others’ while speaking in public.
7: He does not have a clear agenda for the people.
8: He comes with baseless accusations and goes with useless remarks.
The question is; can he rule the country well? Well, on the basis of 8 calculations stated above, the answer is NO.
Mr. Khan’s Deadline of 48 Hour:
Now, Imran Khan is waiting for the PM of Pakistan to resign before him. He has begun calling Prime Minister his own self. Too often he has used this word now. It is clear that he is desperate to become the next PM of Pakistan. The defeat in general elections 2013 is proved to be unbearable so, he cannot wait for 5 years. He is on the streets to bring the government down. The question is; with whatever he is doing can he come to power immediately? The answer is NO. Being the biggest stake holder, Military would be the biggest beneficiary. And, if the say of Mr. Khan results in a conflict, there is 99% probability that the conflict would become bloody. It would spread on a massive scale and can cost a part of the Country. The red heifer can be any part. Mr. Imran Khan is doing all this because he listens more than he thinks. It is probable that he has already calculated what is going to happen and what portion of the cake would he get. But, practically, he has done everything foolish that could have been done in a situation like he is in now. However, he knows that people of Pakistan are ignorant and mostly illiterate. They can be easily brain washed easily sacrificed. He is innocent and this innocent man that emerged from a playground is ready to offer sacrifice, may be many.
