"Tsunami is coming" quoted many times by PTI chairman , Imran Khan, in his speeches and media appearances.Many of us are thinking that he is turning out to be an other messiah for this poor country.Major section of the "media intellectuals",share close genetic make-up with him, believe him a sin qua non of change.According to evolutionary biologist selfish gene had contributed significantly in shaping their thoughts enabling them to trust Imran Khan as another emancipator for this very nation.
Apparently there are two main factors has contributed to this phenomena.Initially, the very well anticipated performance of the present governments, central and provincial, had a great impact on the public sentiments.Secondly, many politicians, who are or were the part of ruling elite, are being baptised on the hand of PTI after 30th October phenomena. Public sentiments and large influx of "born again politicians" are not the unique phenomena in the short 64 years history of Pakistan.We have been through these periods of sanguineness quiet a few times in our turbulent political history.General Ayob,Zulfiqar ali Bhutto, Zia-ul-haq and Musharraf including Benazir and Nawaz.No one can deny that how many times the local press has published the pictures of people eating sweets very next day when any of the previous mentioned rulers took power or bit the dust.Similar optimism we are experiencing now.
Pakistan Tehrek-e-Insaf chairman has also experienced this feeling in the past.Most significantly in 1999 after Musharraf's quo and trusted him a new messiah as usual along with Pakistani nation. Notably Imran khan had two option either PTI or Musharraf but he preferred to aligned with army man to find a cure for this ailing nation.Sadly Imran and his unfortunate nation had gotten wrong. Eight years of this new messiah rule followed by Nawaz-o-zaradaricracy simply aggravated the miseries and fuelled the fire of lawlessness and corruption.
Once again search for new emancipator was on soon after 2008 elections.Due to judiciary army is unable to take this role. PTI,JI and MQM were only available options in political arena.JI and MQM are not popular voices due to extreme religious and political stance respectively.By default Imran's PTI is the only choice for new version of messiah we are left with.Like predecessors messiahs, this time destiny hasn't left any other option except PTI. In this limited choice If we and Imran khan have gotten it wrong then history will be repeating its messianic cycle in a few years time leaving this country more tormented.
