correct
the only reason he has massive support across sectors of society is because he isnt bending down the to criminal mafia running the state.
some people say so what?
the difference is now every one know what Pakistan's real problem... or the problem maker is... from the hordes of Afghans to non stop terrorism there was only institution behind all of this.

Our military setup, directly or indirectly, has never let any hero to rise. Every hero is either corrupt or traitor or of loose character.
Our scientists, economists, philanthropists, politicians, bureaucrats, businessmen, etc., are all corrupt, and heroes are only military men.

Let's continue here.
Essentially, it is the outcome of his mandate acceptance, even after some seats were taken from PTI to form an absolute majority. Khawaja Asif himself said how he got his seat.
IK didn't want to appoint between Aleem Khan (Bajwa's choice) and Jahangeer (he has some MPAs in his pocket). So, he appointed Buzdar to directly control Punjab. His opposition blamed that to his wife.
On one hand, he is the PM. He can do whatever he wants under the constitution, even revealing the cypher.
On the other hand, he should have taken the GHQ recommendations on some international issue.
BTW I forgot, IK didn't meet the CIA chief also due to GHQ recommendation. That was one of his biggest mistakes.

He has the draw and power no human today exerts over the crowd ….. absolutely every single person I met was giving lanat to Asim Munir and Mian saanp ….

This would be partially true.
If you do not disagree with them or exceed their "worth" then you are a celebrated hero.
Edhi is celebrated.
Dr Salam is
Dr Ruth is
and so on.
Anything crossing those two boundaries is what makes your statement true which you generalized and oddly self satisfied your cultism by creating the absolute enemy.
Which at the end wont ever solve the problem because you are Pakistani and therefore suffer the same flaws out of uniform and might engage in the same.
The only difference is that you might be held accountable, they are very rarely held accountable. If you only answer to that is "all military bad" then you are basically proving a mirror image of your own accusation against the military.

I would have bargained and taken more and given part to charity , maybe a school or hospital.... but I suppose that 2 million is better because good old biradari in action?
Mera sardar, meri zaat, mera Imran Khan..
not invested in an idea but a man.. this is why EVERY movement fails because this good old centuries old devotion to the person and not the idea..
meanwhile the man who supposedly talks to Riyasat e Medina has followers who think of status acts... I am the most devoted. My honor and identity is tied to this man.
This is precisely how Pakistan has reset to zero after every "movement" in its history. Bhuttoism died with Bhutto. Ayub's "decade of development" died with Ayub. The idea was never bigger than the person because the person was always the idea.
Every hour spent valorizing a signed bat is an hour not spent asking:
why did the movement fail structurally?
What institutions were built?
What changed in the land ownership laws, the braderi courts and mentality, the madrassa curriculum?
Was even a single corrupt individual prosected? Did the military get in line?
The answer to all of those is: nothing.
Because the movement was always about the man, not the mechanism.
The messiah fantasy is dangerous not because the messiah is always corrupt or wrong but it teaches an entire society to wait rather than build.
And a society that has been waiting for a savior since 1947 has, by now, developed waiting into a civilization-level habit.... PROVE ME WRONG.
Also, bet you the bat that your immediate response is whataboutism on the military, implying either I support their actions or the existing system or some form of blanket statements that helps you calm your nerves and be able to use some existing script or "US vs them" Narrative.
Keep the bat.
But understand what it actually is: a very expensive mirror showing you exactly why the system cannot change.

Thanks for your thoughtful response but you clearly assumed too much and missed the whole point of my post.
IK as a person means nothing to me but his struggle, honesty and work is what matters to me. Tomorrow if I find someone more honest, corruption free and a more sensible politician I will be happy to vote for the new saviour. But for now, there is no one else in the political system to lead and exemplify a movement and stature like IK does.
FYI, I bought the bat at the Namal auction many years back and since there are no more items in the market with IK signatures many have chosen to donate previously purchased items and sell them again to raise funds. I can assure you NAMAL is well taken care of financially without my bat and I know many who donate up to $50,000 every fundraiser.
You missed the point because having his bat has nothing to do with " Mera sardar, meri zaat, mera Imran Khan" . Perhaps if you care to search you will notice that people vote outside the zaat and baradaris when it comes to vote for IK. There is a reason why overwhelming educated and young people vote for Ik because they don’t believe in this zaat and baradari nonsense.
You are somewhat right when you say that " meanwhile the man who supposedly talks to Riyasat e Medina has followers who think of status acts... I am the most devoted. My honor and identity is tied to this man."
I dedicate much of my ethical and moral standing today because of my "following" to this man as a teacher. Allah has blessed me with more than what I deserved or ever dreamt of. In my profession where the insurance and billing are at my discretion and where the treatment provided is hardly ever questioned and I don’t really have to explain the work I perform; I have learned to be honest and never ever charge a dollar more than what is allowed to or do any work which is not required or fair.
I learned a lot listening and following IK and I am not ashamed to admit that.
As for your man vs idea comments, Bhutto is still very much alive and his corrupt life and unmatched destruction of our industry and institutes is practiced everywhere in Sindh. Infact his name will never die because his very name personifies corruption and his followers practice and glorify haram.
Ik is the exact opposite. And I do hope more people will follow his life style and principles to rid themselves of corruption and nepotism.
Your criticism of IK government is somewhat valid but I will blame much on inexperience, lack of political maturity, mostly Bajwa the snake being trusted and yes incompetence of ministers etc. The list is too long. However, three years is hardly a long enough time to grow a tree but you expected that tree to mature and fruits to be abundantly available. As if the generals were not conspiring to fail him, he also had COVID to deal with as well.
In short, I look at the bat and I thank it for making may be not the system but me a better , more ethical and caring person, someone who relates and feels pain of the poor and someone who despises corruption……you know why because that bat has a picture of IK on it!
