TI and his Enthusiastic Supporters

After few good and many bad attempts of public gatherings by TI they finally staged a great show in Lahore on 30th October. Lots have been said about it good and bad but I am not going to comment on any of IK's (I am not into this nonsense of saying him Kaptaan people he is a politician not a cricketer anymore and this politics not a cricket ground) policies. The best thing I will say about the rally was that people really are enthusiastic about somebody. I saw many of my friends who use to say that politics is not for them or this is a gutter happily entering the same "gutter". Many of my friends who use to laugh at the idea of vote and when I use to tell them that they should be voting as this is not there right but responsibility I found then advertising about how to get your vote registered. Many of my friends went to the said rally themselves with TI flags which I feel really refreshing. Although been a lone "Jiala" in most of my friend circles I regularly face the recruitment efforts (most of them really miserable frankly) by the new "Jialas of Khan". One more important effect 30th October have on supporters of TI is that now they atleast know the names of some of TI top echelon otherwise all the poor supporters usually fail to answer the simple question of answering any two top people in TI except for IK and usually the answer use to be "IK" and "IK". Will IK be able to cash this momentum into seats in election only future can tell.

But one thing I fear like many other is that when IK will fail to deliver (dear friends its a big possibility and its coming, you accept it or not you can give a 100 thousand arguments against it but lets face it he has the same as in your words tested crew with him) all these young people who finally are participating in the electoral process will feel betrayed. They will then again get alienated from the process and will not know the importance of it. For me the most important is not that who is in power but that the process should keep moving and more people participate in it as we accept it or not but politics is part of our life. How much dirty it is or appear to be you cannot escape it as it directly effects each and every part of our social aspects. So I only hope that all these enthusiastic youth keep voting in the future no matter whom they vote whether Imran Khan, Nawaz Sharif, Asif Ali Zardari, Altaf Hussain or Munawar Hassan but the process need to go on as only this can result in stability and improvement. If people started to think again toward dictatorship then dear I can only say that testing will not lead you anywhere. Unfortunately democracy is a process which starts up slowly but have excellent effects on the long run on the other hand dictatorship starts well but then leads you straight to a dead end. Think about it.
