Education Excerpt from a convocation speech

I side with no party in Pakistan because I believe no one is actually working in the interests of Pakistan including the forces. Giving this disclaimer here because some may be curious to know what line do I toe. Anyway, this is one more example of how desperately we need educated and cultured people to lead our country. It is unfortunate that the university invited him of all people to give an “inspiring” speech as graduates head out into the practical world. No doubt he shared some realities but the speaker should be someone that students can aspire to.

The day Pti will start scrutinising ali amin gandupur and co the sameway they scrutinise NS & Zardari,is the day I will become a PTI supporter. Until that happens, nothing will change even if u make Ik prime minister again

No they are not. If they were, they would be marching to KPK cm house first before marching to Isl.

No, priorities matter. Gandapur might be a poor choice but atleast hes not killing protesters / stripping the juciary / imprisoning and torturing his opponents.

PTM and TLP were both on the receiving end of state violence,mass arrest and incareceration by PTI the time they were in power in the central government

it's not that Gandapur isn't a rank authoritarian who would love to do the same gundagardi again it's that at that moment given his lack of resources he's currently incapable of doing any proper gungagardi at that scale

normal folks who used to be pro PTI either due to compulsion or perhaps genuine misguided belief are

PTI has essentially changed their core voter base over the year originally people used to listen to Imran Khan because of his cricket star factor then mostly a few middle to upper middle class folks who were tired of the certified shit show that was the Nawaz + Zardari fake opposition tap dance started actually agreeing with Khan on some of his policies and saw him as a credible alternative

unfortunately for the former the moment PTI went mainstream there has been a persistent effort on their part to Turn PTI into another p-------ri generator party and most of it's current support if from ex jiyala or p-------ris who despite voting PTI still have the same jackass political tendencies that can be expected from p----------is i.e. Cult behaviour, no capability for self criticism, zero critcism of their own party's politicans, "Khata hai tou lagata bhi tou hai" mentality, persistent whataboutery etc.
