Now, that the popular international cricketer and Pakistan Tehrike Insaf Party chief Imram Khan is going to be the prime minister of the neighbouring country, his long cherished dream, after 22 years of incessant struggle to grab power in Pakistan it remains to be seen as to how would he view the Indo Pakistan relations in the near future.

While every one know that Imran Khan who had the Army backing all along and had been extremely critical of India, its anti Pakistan stance and the Kashmir issue on which he catagorically said about the human rights violations thus accusing India straightaway despite the very fact that he is well aware about Pakistan’s repeated cease fire violations (of the peace pact)  on the Indo Pak border, the Hafeez Sayeed and ISI sponsered Mumbai attack claiming 162 lives and hundreds of mis adventures by the Pak Army, ISI and its openly aided and abetted terror outfits in Jammu and  Kashmir and ther parts of India.

It’s an open secret and an unabiguous fact that keeping the vexed Kashmir issue alive, creating disturbances and executing unabated killings in Kashmir and other parts of India to destabilise its economy and tranquilty through the Pak sponsored terrorism and arbitrarily raising the Kashmir issue and repeating the  stereotype of fabricated human rights violation suits every leader, political party and the ruling establishment of this notorious nation to divert the attention of its already exploited and suffering people from the core issues of employment, inflation, education and health. Today Pakistan’s economy is in doldrums and total disarray.

There is literary no rule of law, the socio economic conditions of women, youth, peasents and the middle class and those at the lowest ebb of the society is extremely worrisome as terrorism, religious fundamentalism and anti India stance has dominated the entire scenerio. People are being kept involved in religiously fundamental practicises so that they are  not able to think of raising the voice of revolt in the country aga8nst the ruling establishment. The anti India bogey keeps the people intact in various myths.

There is a wide gap between the haves and have nots. Those highly educated and connected with elite classes or the ultra rich are controlling the political system with unacounted properties abroad, infinite wealth and are literally fooling the electorates, eighty percent of whom are illiterate and uneducated.

Take for instance the case of Asif Ali Zardari, former president of Pakistan, Nawaz Sharif, the former PM, now jailed, his brother Shahbad Sharif, Bilawal Bhutto, the young president of Peoples’ Party of Pakistan and late PM Benazir Bhutto’s son, the current would be PM of Pakistan and Tehrike Insaf Chief Imran Khan, all of them are educated in foreign land and born with a silver spoon in their mouths, all of them have properties and mansions in England, US and Saudi Arabia as well as in Dubai, all of them are multi millionaires rather billionares.

Not only this but have amassed excessive and huge wealth while being prime ministers of Pakistan by being involved in corrupt practices. The previous prime minister Nawaz Sharief is in Jail alingwith her daughter Mariyam and son in law on huge corruption charges in the disproportionate assets case and for owning four highly expensive mansions in the United Kingdom.

The former president Zardari who is Bilawal Bhutto’s father had been charged for huge corruption who’d fled to UAE where he had tremendous business interests.

While all the above prime ministers have been tested by thepeopleof Pakistan,  the Tehrike Insaf Party chief Imran Khan is still an untested politician and it was because of this very factor that  the people of Pakistan gave him and his party a chance to rule the country which is today in shatters economically as well as from the point of view of the deteriorating law and order situation as well as having an ugly international reputation for being a country with the hugest debt from World bank, Asian bank and countries like United States of America and China.

It is in no position to pay these heavy debts as the economy of Pakistan is already running in heavy fiscal deficit worth billions of dollars.

Now, Imran Khan promises to change the present Pakistan into a NAYA Pakistan by doing something revolutionery for its people in terms of jobs, development, controlling the sky rocketting inflation and improving relations with its immediate neighbour India, the US, UAE, Iran but considering China as its most trusted friend and a God father Ally.

He will have to bank on China by all means as Pakistan has no other way out as its relations with its one time traditional friend and a super power US  are in doldrums due to Pakistan being a country openly supporting and abetting the hard core terrorists and the terror sanctuaries creating incessant dusturbances, deaths and distruction in India, US, Afghanistan and also destroying the US missions abroad through bombings.

And in this hour of crisis when this Islamic country has been completely isolated in the global scenerio its only the expansionist China that is coming to its rescue through the economic and military support.

The point is , for Imran Khan, the way ahead as the prime minister of Pakistan is a thorny path and not so easy as he must be thinking.

Khan is an unexperienced political entity literally having no experience of an able administrator to govern a complex country like Pakistan, particularly in view of the fact that he had never been either a minister or a bureaucrat with  sufficient experience behind, except becoming a prime minister after 22 years of relentless struggle as a celebrity after lifting the world cup for Pakistan in 1992.

Now, despite his several anti India poisionous speeches during the last few months especially during the election campaigning, Imran Khan has lent a hand of friendship towards India saying that the initiative should be from the Indian side first. He further says : if India takes a one step forward Pakistan will take two steps ahead in a bid to strengthen friendly relations with us.

Imran accuses the Indian media for making him a villain against India whereas he is all for the good and healthy relationship with India.

But despite all this, the notorious Pakistan Army and the ISI who had been immensely instrumental in ensuring the resounding victory of Imran Khan and his Tehrike Insaf Party by various foul plays, as having been accused by the PML (N) AND THE PPP,  would never let the new incumbent PM do so.

Moreover Imran’s stand on the core Kashmir issue is the same as was of his political predecessors and above all he will under no circumstances even think of going against his primary God fathers, the Pak army and the ISI.
