UNDOUBTEDLY, Imran Khan is a popular leader who is using an effective source to destabilise the government thorough civil disobedience. But does he ever bother to think how many people actually welcome his appeal? On the other hand, is he not going to be made fun of — in case of failure?
In 1971, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, too, had applied the same source of disobedience against the then military ruler of West Pakistan, and he had succeeded hundred cent per cent because of the full support of the East Pakistani masses, the army, and even the judiciary.
But here, with multi-national organisations and political parties having a different mindset, Mr Khan’s call for disobedience will hardly work.
