IT is unfortunate that defeated political parties have rejected fair and transparent outcome of elections. Indian sympathy is for parties which are agitating against Imran Khan.

He should act like Nelson Mandela. He should deal with Nawaz Sharif and others under law. He should force him to return $2.5 billion to Pakistan before taking any action against him.
