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.

On the other hand, China has supported Imran and is ready to work with the new government in Pakistan. Imran should too act like a statesman and make statements that inspire young people.

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.
