Pakistan Tehreek-I-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan's former team mate and cricket legend Javed Miandad on Monday announced his support for the ongoing protest in Islamabad.
“Imran Khan is a man of great integrity. No one can challenge his honesty and his clear intentions. He has an impeccable record and I fully support him in his endeavor to enlighten and change Pakistan," Miandad said.
"His heart is in the right place. The current leadership is incapable of running the country and the so-called kings who have been ruling us for ages need to be replaced with loyal and capable leaders.”
Commenting on dynastic politics, Miandad pointed out that even in countries where families ruled, a proper system of governance was in place and the children taking over from their parents had to go through a strict preparatory regime.
"Take the example of the United Kingdom, Prince Charles was sent for Army training and even his sons spent time learning various skills that help prepare a ruler. If any of the family members are suspected to have indulged in corruption, they are shunned from mainstream politics".
Miandad lamented that a handful of families have been ruling the country. He insisted that Imran's endeavors are aimed at changing the system and he remains to be a hope for the citizens of the country.
