IMRAN Khan Khan has recently unveiled his first 100-day plan to bring about good governance and reforms that are so acutely needed.

I went through the editorials of most English newspapers all of which praised it, claiming it a very well-thought-out plan. Unfortunately, the two other major parties did nothing of the sort.

Mr Khan has always done those herculean tasks which seemed impossible in the beginning but to dream so high and to be so adventurous is his distinction. However, the plan was rejected abruptly by the ruling party labelling it to be unrealistic, though later it was said that it had plagiarised the 2025 vision of the PML-N.

Pakistan needs a crusader like Mr Khan to turn the dream of a prosperous, peaceful and promising Pakistan into a reality.
