Imran Khan 3 years in solitary confinement

[Watandar]

Look, your circle is so small it’s basically a tight echo chamber, and that’s why your thinking feels boxed in. What I said isn’t just my personal take, majority of Pakhtoons in the Pakistani army feel the same way. They don’t see innocent Afghan civilians as enemies; only the ones actually involved in terrorism.

honestly, after reading you respose, it really does come off as contradictory. Pakistan names its missiles after legendary Afghan rulers, yet somehow there’s hostility toward everyday Afghans. That’s a pretty strange mix.

In my opinion, a more thoughtful response would have been to acknowledge that regions up to Kabul share deep historical ties with Pakistan, and that if any Afghan province ever chose to join Pakistan willingly, we would welcome them.

If you still didn’t understand, let me know. I will give you lots historical and current examples.

I have many friends from Bangladesh and funny enough, they love Imran Khan. They always ask me about him.

Bengalis are united even though, they have different accents and dialects. Why we failed to United? Because our establishment wanted to keep us divided.

Good point. Ethnic , sectarian and class lines are deliberately stroked by the Establishment in Pakistan to keep the people divided. The highway from not only Peshawar but Lahore too has been blocked by Establishment goons to foil the PTI march. Now why would they block access from Lahore if PTI is just a party of KP ?

Irony is that our establishment still acts like no one is watching. They behave as if the world is blind, as if they can say one thing to your face and do the exact opposite behind your back, and you’re supposed to pretend you didn’t notice. They think silence from abroad means approval or worse, ignorance.

But just because no other country is openly confronting our establishment doesn’t mean they aren’t discussing Pakistan’s situation. Power doesn’t get a free pass; it just gets talked about quietly. The Chinese are talking. Bangladeshis are talking. I’m sure others are too, governments, analysts, ordinary people because Pakistan’s crisis isn’t happening in a vacuum.

Meanwhile, they’ve turned the country into a mockery of itself. What should have been a functioning democracy feels more like a modern-day plantation, where the powerful act like landlords feeding off the very people they claim to represent. It’s a system that drains you slowly, politely, like a vampire that smiles while it takes your blood.

Some days it feels like we’re living inside a glitching Matrix, stuck in a loop where truth is edited, justice is delayed, and the same cycle repeats no matter how loudly people demand change. And the saddest part? They genuinely believe they can keep doing this forever that no one is watching, no one is talking, and no one will ever call them out.

All this topi drama about creating more provinces won’t fix anything. It’s a distraction, a cosmetic change. Without deep structural reforms, nothing meaningful will happen and everyone knows those reforms would threaten the very power structure that benefits from the status quo. That’s why they avoid them. It would be political suicide for the people who currently hold all the cards.

And this isn’t a hate speech, it’s the lived reality for everyday Pakistanis. The evidence is already out there, visible in institutions, governance, and public experience. Some people may try to rewrite or sanitize the history, but that doesn’t erase what people have seen and felt.

And all this topi drama about more provinces will not buy anything unless they implement deep structural reforms which they will never do. It will be death to their power.

Majority of Pakistanis are brain dead buddy. They can barely read and write. They don't know what to do with a vote.

It cannot be managed like a civilized Scandinavian country. A "functioning democracy" is a byproduct of enlightenment.

There are many steps a society needs to take in its sociological development before it can make informed decisions on how to govern itself.

Lets look at Punjab. In the 90s Punjab was a lawless and corrupt mess of a province just like the rest of the country and that reflected in its leadership who were incompetent with criminal neglect of its people. As Punjabi society has evolved so has its expectations and leadership. This is evolution. The rest of Pakistan has stayed the same, some regions have worsened.

First we need to establish a baseline, a working system, 80%+ literacy rate, before thinking about the virtues of democracy.
