THOSE having great expectations from Imran Khan were dismayed by a series of his actions in line with the establishment’s mindset.

His outburst against eminent lawyer and human rights activist Asma Jahangir, proposing the name of a police chief as a caretaker prime minister, shaking hands with Ziaul Haq’s B team, and last but not least his soft corner for terrorists at war with the country speak volumes for the dangerous course he has set for himself and his followers.

A particular media group is there to support him in following his anti-people agenda, as it worked overtime to malign Asma during her contest in the Supreme Court Bar elections. It is time he retraced his steps and struggled in line with the Quaid’s vision and not those of spymasters.
