If anyone has any ambiguity about whether Imran Khan is a 'crowd puller' or a mob-drawer, then he is apparently ignorant of Pakistani politics.
Imran Khan has a huge fan club which, from winning the 1992 Cricket World Cup to waving a letter out of his pocket in 2022, is captivated by his voice, responds to his voice and understands what the captain is saying. That is the truth.
Imran Khan tells them in cricket terms that he stands firm and will play till the last ball. Because 172 runs could not be scored on the last ball, the captain dropped his wicket with his own bat and on the afternoon of April 3, he once again told his team's tired players and fans that the match was not over yet. "Don't panic now." The captain's gesture sparked interest in the match once again and the spectators left their seats and returned to their seats.
Imran Khan's story is similar to the story from the pavilion to the pitch and in the meanwhile he has rescued six of his political opponents so that they may never forget the innings played with him.
Imran Khan's entry into mainstream politics was not an accident and according to him he waited for many years and worked hard for it. When Imran Khan decided to retire from cricket after the 1987 World Cup, then President of Pakistan General Zia-ul-Haq asked him to return to cricket and a few months later Imran withdrew his decision.
Similarly, General Zia asked him to enter politics later but Imran flatly refused. Nawaz Sharif also offered him something similar, but the captain persisted in his decision not to enter politics.
But eventually Imran Khan got into politics
Imran Khan liked General Hameed Gul, the former head of the Military Intelligence ISI, because of his jihadist ideology, and when he had the opportunity, he called General Hameed Gul and Muhammad Ali Durrani's seemingly social organization 'Pasban'. Joined Hamid Gul and Durrani called it a pressure group or 'Third Force' which, according to them, Pakistan desperately needed because the politicians were looting the country for their own benefit and the people were involved in their wars. Had done
The founders of Pasban called it the first step towards social change rather than politics, which emerged many years later in the tsunami wave of Imran's transformation.
It was a very effective 'try'. Former Pakistan ISI chief Hameed Gul's planning ideas, Durrani's ability to organize from Jamaat-e-Islami and the charismatic personality of World Cup hero Imran Khan. This organization and its two leaders seem to have a lot to do with the maturity of Imran's political ideology.
Many years later, another General Musharraf also became close to Imran and Imran continued to associate with him. According to General Musharraf, PTI leaders were demanding more seats from him as a party.
