As Imran Khan along with “who is who” of the PTI has announced the date for the proposed Long march, I find myself grappled with many interesting question.
It is 25th of May. Need not to mention here is the fact that Pakistan is passing through an unprecedented heat wave. It will not be an easy job to gather the hundreds of thousand supporters at Islamabad and keep them there for a longer period in these hard conditions. When you call the people , you are supposed to keep in mind the condition of the weather. We still remember what happened with the Long March of the lawyer’s community for the restoration of the judges. Mr. Aitzaz Ahsan had to call it off because of the hot conditions as it was impossible for the lawyers to sit under the sun in burning summer. Now the question is whether or not Imran khan is going to repeat the history? It is quite intriguing how will the PTI workers manage to sit under the sun in an unprecedented hot May.
A long march is not that easy a job. You have to mobilize your workers throughout the country. Generally parties take months to organize such a mega event. But Imran Khan has announced Long march just 3 days before the D-day. He is not in power. Recently he is ousted from the corridors of powers. His closed comrades have left him. His coalition partners are no more with him. All his political opponents are united against him. Not only that they are united against him; they are also in the power.
So the question is: what makes Imran Khan that confident that he is on the March in the hottest season and he has issued the call just three days before the actual day? I am constantly thinking over tis question but I have no answer to it. This is literally intriguing.
Does he think he will manage to make his men sit on the road for a long period? Does he believe that it will not take that long and within no time the government will resign and fresh elections will be announced? How is he that confident?
I can’t answer this conundrum, so I request my readers to steer me out of this confusion.
