Given that the PTI spent much of the last decade railing against Musharraf, this requires either schizophrenia or amnesia. To become a viable political party that does something other than be the cool kid at college who throws awesome parties, the PTI needs the army. Here, then, is the dilemma facing the PTI.
IMRAN KHAN MUSICIAN FULL
Since the army’s full force includes its nuclear arsenal let us assume that was rhetorical overkill. The solution, explained this man who had perfected Imran Khan’s talking points, is that the army must use its ‘full force’ in favour of a supposedly beleaguered Supreme Court. One attendee at the sit-in patiently explained to me how the judiciary is being unduly timid in its cases against the government.
More than even the staunchest PPP jiyala, PTI diehards have learned the art of parroting their chosen one. But since the fun and frolicking was ostensibly political, a deeper analysis becomes sadly necessary. And with a dharna scheduled every Saturday of Ramazan, the good times will continue to roll. If this latest PTI sit-in was being covered in the entertainment section of newspapers, the report would end with an upbeat “and a good time was had by all”. Mimics took on the usual suspects – Zardari, Gilani, Nawaz. Instead, attendees had to make to do with comedy. This being Ramazan, however, Imran Khan’s latest show of strength at D-Chowk outside Parliament House in Islamabad was devoid of music. Veterans of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) dharnas know that the main reason for attending these protests-cum-parties is the musical stylings of DJ Butt.
