Imran Khan’s undemocratic proclamation

By Anwar Jalal • Dec 19th, 2009 • Category: Politics • 7 Comments

Imran Khan , stated  in Mardan the  other day(13 Dec) that as Nawaz Sharief wanted to become a  civilian dictator  so overthrowing of his  government  by Pervez Musharraf  was a right step. Imran khan these remarks are  highly shocking .He always  talk about the  upholding of  democracy and  supremacy of the constitution while  on the other hand  he  holds  up the  removal of  people’s  elected government by a  dictatorial action of a military general.

The said statement of Imran Khan may  also create an impression  among some  circles that if the present elected government  is overthrown by dictatorial means he will not oppose it  A genuine democratic politician can  never prop up  a dictatorial act against democratic set up. Even  removal  of  the otherwise exceedingly ostracized  and detested  president  Zaradri  through  autocratic  act  will  never be  approved  by true democrats.

As ,in spite of all his taint  image ,he  has been elected  by  elected Parliament. His removal  through authoritarian means  will be  assault  on democracy and constitution. Upholders of such act can never be the  upholders  of democracy and supremacy of constitution.

Better  the   well-regarded Imran Khan ,be advised   that  such statements may  lead  to the inference  that upholding of democracy and constitution are not his pinnacle priorities.

  1. Fully elected and Big Majority gave Nawaz Sharif, some extra DREAM to become King Nawaz sharif,
    and he assaulted the So Called Judiciary of Pakistan, Currency debacle and fighting and NOT knowing what was happening in and around country took his Kingship away. Now if Imran Khan Handsome and good Looking Womaniser say DOES not see the light at the End of Tunnel , then he is right too.
    In last TWO years or so what Democracy has given to the nation?

  2. DEMOCRACY DEMOCRACY DEMOCRACY

    ENOUGH IS ENOUGH

  3. This is pseudo democratic phase as this was partly designed by Musharraf whose NRO like criminal offense has produced illegal political characters that came and occupied the top seats.
    Imran is extra ordinary straight forward person and say what he feels about people.So he has long way to go in diplomacy of politics in which he looks quite unfit in our hypocrite system

  4. Imran Khan should honourably retire from politics now and run his university and hospital.He is a good cricketer,administrator and social worker.People love him for his charity work

  5. First of all 1997 elections were not free and fair,so how such elections could bring democracy..

    Nawaz Sharif ’s govt is not democracy so is not Zardari’s…….

    The writer desperately need to know the basic requirements of democracy….

    When political parties don’t have democracy with in the party,so how could you call their rule as democratic?

  6. Let me ask a simple question to the confused writer
    Doesn’t Zaradri pose serious threat to Pakistan”?
    Zardari is a serious danger to Pakistan….
    Imran knows Army is not coming in power now,so mid term election should be welcome to save Pakistan from dangerous corrupt cum westernized liberals….

  7. Mr Tahir Democracy is slow process. One of problem with us istanis is that we are perfactionists and too idealists . We wish every thing in perfect form from the very begining
    Basic requirments for democracy are gained with the passage of time . No democratic country in the world started deomcracy with prior requirements .
    Better Mr Tahir update his study
