Militants attack Red Cross office in Afghanistan




A suicide bomber blew himself up at the gate of the ICRC office in Jalalabad.
   JALALABAD: Suicide bombers and militants attacked a Red Cross (ICRC) office in Jalalabad city, east Afghanistan, on Wednesday, officials said, with gunfire erupting in the area after a loud explosion.
“Initial information shows that at least two gunmen have taken position inside the office of the Red Cross and gunfire is continuing, there has also been an explosion,” provincial government spokesperson Ahmad Zia Abdulzai told AFP.
Local officials said that a suicide bomber had blown himself up at the gate of the ICRC office and two more insurgents entered the building.
An International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) spokesperson in Kabul was unable to give any immediate details.
The attack came on the same day that Afghan security forces killed six militants who stormed the Panjshir provincial governor’s office in a brazen pre-dawn assault in one of the country’s most stable areas.
The Taliban launched their annual “spring offensive” last month, vowing to use suicide blasts to inflict maximum casualties and destabilise President Hamid Karzai’s Us-backed regime.
The attacks followed a major assault on Kabul on Friday, when the Taliban launched a suicide and gun strike on an international compound in the city centre and triggered a battle that lasted several hours.
All four militants, one policeman and two civilians died in that incident.
The effectiveness of Afghan security forces is crucial to the government’s ability to defeat the Taliban insurgency as 100,000 NATO-led combat troops prepare to withdraw by the end of 2014.
The police, army and special forces are being trained up by the international coalition, but there are widespread fears that they will not be able to impose security after 12 years of war.

Cisco Evolves Associate-Level Certifications, Redesigns CCNA Routing and Switching Certification to Support Next-Generation Job Roles - The Network: Cisco's Technology News Site

Cisco Evolves Associate-Level Certifications, Redesigns CCNA Routing and Switching Certification to Support Next-Generation Job Roles

Certification and Training Updates Meet Market Demand for Networking Talent Aligned With Changing Business Requirements

SAN JOSE, Calif., March 26, 2013 – Continuing its commitment to deliver job-ready training, best practices and the most up-to-date information on the latest networking solutions, Cisco today announced a redesign of the Cisco® associate-level certification programs and the evolution of the CCNA® certification to CCNA Routing and Switching certification.
While more than 99 percent of things in the physical world today are still not connected to the Internet, the phenomenon called "the Internet of Everything" will soon wake up everything imaginable. As the network evolves and changes, becoming more sophisticated, the job roles of network engineers also continue to change. The CCNA Routing and Switching refresh aligns certification and training curricula with evolving industry job roles and provides the skills that networking professionals need to successfully manage cutting-edge network solutions.
Key Facts
  • The redesign enables the associate-level concentration certifications such as CCNA Routing and Switching, CCNA Voice, CCNA Security, CCNA Wireless, CCNA SP Operations and CCDA® to better align with the industry job roles of today and the future.
  • Specifically for the CCENT® and CCNA Routing and Switching certifications, Cisco has redesigned the training curriculum for the ICND1, ICND2 and CCNAX exams and has introduced new exams for ICND1, ICND2 and CCNA Composite. The updates include comprehensive troubleshooting, technologies such as IPv6, and updated software on Cisco routers and switches.
  • With the associate-level program redesign, candidates now need to pass only two exams to achieve advanced technology certifications in an accelerated manner with the right job skills. These certifications include:
    • CCNA Routing and Switching
    • CCNA Security
    • CCNA Voice
    • CCNA Wireless
    • CCNA SP Operations
  • The following certifications currently require two exams:
    • CCNA Data Center
    • CCNA Video
    • CCNA Service Provider
    • CCNA SP Operations
  • For CCDA certification, a valid CCENT certification will be a prerequisite beginning October 1, 2013. Basic knowledge of routing and switching is becoming increasingly essential to meet the industry job role requirements of a CCDA.
Supporting Quotes
  • Jeanne Beliveau-Dunn, vice president and general manager at Learning@Cisco, said: "We are entering a new realm: the Internet of Everything, where things will gain context awareness, increased processing power and greater sensing abilities as everything is connected to the network. The network drives productivity. The network provides the services you need when you need them. As business solutions evolve, the network evolves and grows in its complexity. It has gotten to the point where basic knowledge of networking fundamentals is no longer sufficient. Now, network professionals have to understand networking systems with integrated security, wireless, voice capabilities and data center as well as business applications. At Cisco, we are committed to meeting the highest standards for learning programs and delivering the best certification programs possible. The evolution of the CCNA Routing and Switching certification will provide learners with skills and knowledge that are in demand today, adding substantial value for themselves and their employers."
  • Tobias Caldwell, lead network engineer, Gap Inc., said: "After securing my CCNA certification, I was in a position to guide Gap network engineering projects, not just support them. What I like about the Cisco certifications path is that you really learn to think about how they are relevant. It's not just ‘this is a Cisco router, and this is how you configure it.' It very much goes into ‘this is why it's done this way.' It is critical to stay up-to-date with the latest technologies in order to remain relevant in a fast moving industry. I am confident the new CCNA Routing and Switching validates the skills necessary to support today and tomorrow's advanced networks. "
Availability
  • The new exams and training will be available March 26, 2013. Candidates can register for the exams through Pearson VUE, the primary test delivery partner for Cisco. Training courses are offered by Cisco Learning Partners, the only authorized source for Cisco IT training delivered exclusively by Certified Cisco Instructors.

Plea for help to Find Amtul Shafi Siddiqa D/O Qazi Azhar Anwar

Dear Readers,
Assalam O Alaikum
Please have a few minutes to read this very important message, it can help a mother to get her lost daughter back.
Amtul Shafi Siddiqa
My daughter, Amtul Shafi Siddiqa, is missing since the evening of 26th December, 2012. She is mentally challenged and has special needs. She is 25 years old, but from appearance looks no older than a 15 year old. Her mental age is almost 5-6 years.

On the said evening, Shafi and I were coming back home from a relative’s place. On our way back, she started asking me to buy her clothes and thus we stopped near Faqirabad fly over to go to the market underneath the bridge. It is a famous and crowded area of the city. While we were returning home from there, I went ahead to talk to a rickshaw driver and Shafi was almost seven yards behind me. This is where the misfortune began. I am also old and not very active physically as well as mentally and Shafi has problem seeing clearly in the dark, and the place was very crowded. As I was talking to the rickshaw driver, in the meanwhile she crossed me as she couldn’t see me and kept walking forward. As people around soon as I realized that I have lost her, I started running around looking for her. I did everything I could at that time, asking everyone around, went back to the market and asked people there, and when I realized that time is passing by and I don’t seem to find my daughter, I called home and informed them. My family came immediately to the spot and no delay was made in reporting the incident to police too.
When the news spread, a relative of ours reported that he saw Shafi walking underneath the said bridge that evening but had no idea that she is lost.

I must say that despite our constant visits to the police, they hardly took any interest in the matter. They did not make any inquiries, did not carry out any investigation, and did not make any effort to find my daughter. We even approached the high officials of police but nothing was of help.
We belong to middle class and do not have endless means and resources but we made every possible effort to find our daughter. Almost every house in the area where Shafi went missing was approached and asked about her. We printed more than 3000 posters with Shafi’s picture, basic information, and phone numbers of people who can be contacted to provide any information. These posters were distributed all around the city and in surrounding areas too. Despite his weak health, for more than a month my husband used to drive all around the city, announcing about the incident through a loud speaker and asking for help, and pasting posters everywhere. We also looked in all the hospitals, orphanages, shelter houses i.e  Darul Aman, and also distributed the posters in all these places. We continued the efforts not only in Peshawar but also in Mardan, several villages in and near Peshawar, and also in the district of Malakand.

We also printed the news with Shafi’s picture in 3 leading newspapers of the city: Aaj and Express News on 28th December, and In Mashriq on 29th December. Television channels were informed too and the news was broadcasted through many TV channels like Z.K. cables (covering all KPK). We also adcertised in the cable networks covering Shergarh, Butkhela, Sakhakot, Malakand, Dargai and also three cable networks covering Swat. The news was spread along with the picture through facebook too.

Initially, our perception was that Shafi is found by someone who don’t know who to approach to send her back home but it seems that we were at fault.  A vendor girl who sometimes comes to our area too and is familiar with Shafi reported that she saw her walking in Patang Chowk (which is not very far from where we live) with a man, two days after Shafi went missing. She said that when Shafi saw me she came to me, held my hand and smiled at me, as she always does. The man reached for her and told her to keep going as it was getting late. The girl was under the impression that this man was Shafi’s father so took no notice of the incident. It was almost a week after this incident that she visited our area and came to know that Shafi is missing.

In the last two months, we have left no stone unturned to find Shafi. Whatever resources we could exploit, we did, but we have reached a stage now where each family member is drained of energy. My children, my husband, and I, everyone is in agony. We feel ourselves lost and don’t see any ray of hope. With Shafi lost, none of the family members is physically or mentally strong. The entire family is in sheer pain and desperation. I don’t know what lies ahead and for how long we have to carry on in such anguish and misery.
 I, a miserable mother of the unfortunate girl, ask for help! Please help me find my daughter. We are going through hell and the suffering is simply unbearable. Please help us find Shafi!

Govt of KPK

PESHAWAR: Pakistan Tehrik-i-Insaf (PTI) ,  Jamaat-i-Islami (JI) and Qaumi Watan Party (QWP) finalised on Wednesday a formula over the formation of government in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, according to which JI and QWP would get three ministries each whereas, the PTI would hold the chief minister and speaker positions in the province.

The announcement ended the speculation over formation of government in KP province by the Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F).
The General Secretary of PTI Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Shaukat Youzafzai when contacted said : “Yes QWP, JI and PTI have agreed on a power sharing formula and the government formation formula would be announced today.”
The sources in PTI confirmed that the Qaumi Wattan Party would get the slot of Deputy Speaker, one senior minister and minister while the Jamaat-i-Islami would be getting two ministers and a senior minister’s slot.
The PTI would also be announcing the names of the leader of the house shortly while the speaker’s slot would also be retained by it.
“No we have not yet finalised the names of the Chief Minister and the Deputy Speaker but yes we would be retaining both the slots,” Shaukat said.
The PTI leaders Pervaiz Khattak and the Asad Qaiser are both engaged in power struggle for the coveted slot of the KPK chief minister and a decision with regards to who would head PTI’s rather inexperienced government is still awaited.
Some sources also say that one of the coalition partners of the PTI has shown reservations on the name of Pervaiz Khattak so the PTI was mulling over the name of some other candidate, probably Asad Qaiser, which would be finalised after PTI chief Imran Khan approves the name later today.
Shaukat Yousafzai also confirmed that they have a strength of 67 members now and the modalities for the government would be announced soon.

ECP decision enables KP govt to re-appropriate Rs6b funds

 
PESHAWAR: The Election Commission of Pakistan’s (ECP) notification allowing the diversion of development funds paved the way for the Khyber Pakhtun-khwa government to go with the re-appropriation of funds amounting to Rs6 billion.
The sources told The News on Friday that even before the lifting of ban by the ECP, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government had re-appropriated Rs275 million from the much-wanted Northern Bypass Road (Charsadda Road to Karkhano-Hayatabad) project to the Ring Road Project.

The ECP on January 22 issued directives to the provincial government to abstain from diversion of development funds till election as the same could be used as manipulating tools in the constituencies of some influential people in the outgoing government. However, it lifted the ban on the diversion of funds on May 16 with which the huge diversion of funds has started in the province.

While the re-appropriation of funds to development projects particularly those being funded from non-ADP portfolio or new projects was simply out of question, but the provincial government diverted funds form Northern Bypass Project to the Ring Road project.

And funds have also been re-appropriated to some closed projects under the Peshawar Development Authority (PDA), giving a fig to the directives of the ECP and the mandate of the caretakers, the sources added.

Besides this diversion, a huge re-appropriation of about Rs6 billion funds is also under way and the next government should take note of it. An official in the Communication and Works (C&W) Department on condition of anonymity said the re-appropriation was for the officers who are efficient in outreach and experts in utilizing an unimaginable amount of funds in the month of June. It is now commonly known as Junism in Finance Department and the media circles, he said and added that the C&W people could swallow Rs10 billion till June 30.

The official claimed that the commission in development projects had now touched 46 percent while the contractors would also make their bucks which would not be included in the commission mentioned above.

There is a panic-like situation in the Planning and Finance Department (P&D), and the money is being dolled-out so that the uplift funds could be “utilized” before the new government takes over in the province.

Referring to the Finance Department (also posted on the official website of the department), the official said that the utilization of development funds is not more than 45 percent over the last ten and half months and the government department are striving to consume the remaining 55 to 60 percent funds in one month time which is absolutely impossible.

He said that it was an open secret now that billions of rupees are drawn in advance in June and no one in the government either questions it or offers any remedy for the same because everyone gets benefited form it one way or the other.

Another officer in the Planning Department, who also requested not to be named, said that it was also the failure of the P&D Department that was doing everything, but except planning. He added that due to the low capacity and ill-planning 50 percent re-appropriation of original budget takes place in the last month of every fiscal year.

He did not rule out the possibility of manipulation in the re-appropriation process and termed the same a big challenge for the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf coalition in the province.The official said the new government should also launch some kind reforms to fight the menace of the underutilization of funds that lead to re-appropriation and ultimately becomes a source of mega corruption.

Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah the founder of Pakistan adopts education in N-W.F.P:

The British kept putting off the request of raising Islamia College to a university. The University had to wait till Independence in 1947. The great Quaid visited the College for the first time in 1928 and so fell in love with it that he would refer to it as ‘My College’ and adopted it as one of the three heirs to his rich fortune, along with Aligarh University and Sindh Madrassa (his own school) in 1939 University Map

University came as a trophy from Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah to the students of the province, in recognition of the part played by them in the making of Pakistan. At Islamia College on 12th April 1948, he said: “On this occasion the thing uppermost in my mind is the help that came to the movement and achievement of Pakistan from the students community, particularly from this Province. May I say that you played your part magnificently” and “Let me tell you that nothing is dearer to my heart than to have a university in the North-West Frontier Province from where the rays of learning and culture will spread through-out the Middle East and Central Asia. I, therefore, fully sympathise with your aspirations in this behalf and, provided you go the right way about it, you will get your university sooner than you can imagine”

Report: PTI's landslide in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa by Zia Ur Rehman

Despite Taliban threats, voter turnout in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in the May 11 elections was exceptionally high. And the results were surprising.

Imran Khan-led Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaaf (PTI) emerged as the largest party in the province, winning 34 seats in the provincial assembly, and 17 seats from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in the National Assembly, according to unofficial results.

PTI swept Peshawar and Nowshera, and also won in Swat, Malakand, Mardan, Kohat, Charsadda, Hangu, Swabi, Abottabad and Haripur. A majority of the party's provincial legislators are inexperienced, having never been elected to the parliament before. "The people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa recognized PTI's efforts in drawing international attention to the US drone strikes," said Abdul Quayyum Kundi, a party leader in the southern districts of the province.

A number of veteran political leaders lost to younger, lesser known candidates of the increasingly popular Tehrik-e-Insaaf, including Ghulam Ahmed Bilour, Arbab Alamgir, Amir Muqam and Sardar Mehtab Abbasi - prominent leaders of their parties. Syed Zahir Shah, Mian Iftikhar Hussain, Aqil Shah, Kiramatullah Chagarmati, and Pir Sabir Shah also lost. The Bilour family backed by the Awami National Party (ANP) and the Arbabs of Peshawar who belong to the Pakistan People's Party (PPP) and the ANP, were also ousted by the PTI.

A number of veteran politicians lost to younger, lesser known candidates of the increasingly popular Tehrik-e-Insaaf


Political analysts say the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa have elected a new party in every election in the last 20 years - the PPP in 1993, the Pakistan Muslim Leagie-Nawaz (PML-N) in 1997, the MMA in 2002, the ANP in 2008, and the PTI in 2013. "Some would say the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa are vibrant," said Imtiaz Ali, a Washington-based analyst who monitors the province's politics. "If they are not satisfied with a party's performance, they do not vote for it the second time." For Abdul Quayyum Kundi, that means the PTI will have to ensure impeccable service delivery to satisfy its voters if it wants to get elected again.

The use of mainstream and social media helped the Tehrik-e-Insaaf's popularity, analysts say. Political observers also say the ANP and the PPP leadership were cut off from the people because they could not hold public meetings due to security fears. That sent the voters away to the PTI, which campaigned freely in the absence of threats by the Taliban.

"The PTI had easier access to people in the run-up to the elections because of their softer views on Taliban," said Sardar Ahmed Yousafzai, a Swat-based political analyst. "Imran Khan organized large rallies across the province while the ANP and the PPP leaders were confined to their homes because of Taliban attacks."

PTI's first and foremost challenge will be militancy


Some analysts see the success of the PTI in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa as reminiscent of the victory of Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal (MMA) in the province in the 2002 elections. The situation in Afghanistan played a key role on both occasions, they say. During the party's electoral campaign and before it, Imran Khan was accused of exploiting religious sentiments of people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, promised to stop drone attacks in the tribal areas, and stop supporting the US in the war in Afghanistan.

Others see a conspiracy by the establishment. One ANP leader said it "engineered" the elections, and the attacks on his party were a deliberate attempt to keep them out of the parliament. Imtiaz Ali said there had been "endless discussions" on such theories.

Sardar Ahmed Yousafzai said the ANP had no strategy to counter the growing influence of the PTI in the province, especially among the youth. "They were depending on older and more traditional politicians, and did not adopt new tools of politics, especially the television and the social media." Analysts say both the ANP and the PPP have the capacity to rise again, because they do have roots in the masses.

Fazlur Rehman's faction of Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI-F) is the second biggest winner, after it was able to counter the PTI's increasing influence in its southern strongholds. "Out votes increased by 150 percent," claimed Jan Muhammad Achakzai, a spokesman of the party, adding that it was the ANP, the PPP and the PML-N that had suffered because of PTI's rise. He claimed a "clean sweep" from Lakki Marwat to Dera Ismail Khan, while also accusing the administration of supporting the Saifullahs and the Kundis of the PPP. "We won seats from areas like Buner, Charsadda, Battagram, Swat and Chitral." He also said the elections had been engineered by "the boys" who had favored the ANP in 2008, and that his party demanded re-polling in 10 constituencies.

Qaumi Watan Party (QWP), led by Aftab Sherpao, secured one national and seven provincial seats from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and Jamaat-e-Islami won three national and seven provincial seats. The PML-N was able to protect some of its strongholds in Hazara division and Shangla district.

Set to form a government in the province, Imran Khan has named Pervaiz Khattak as the party's parliamentary leader, which means he will be a candidate for chief minister. The PTI is talking to Jamaat-e-Islami and the QWP to form a coalition.

In the 99-member Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly, the PTI has 34 seats, the JUI-F has 16, the PML-N 12, the ANP has five, the JI and the QWP have seven each, and the PPP has two. Thirteen members of the provincial assembly are independent.

Although a number of leaders of the PML-N have announced they will allow the PTI to form a government in the province, the JUI-F is busy trying to cobble an alliance of its own. Its leader Fazlur Rehman also called PML-N leader Nawaz Sharif with a proposal to form a coalition government, according to news reports.

The new PTI government in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa will have a number of challenges to face right at the outset. "These challenges include ensuring peace, the return of internally displaced people to their homes, economic problems, local governments, the development of the southern districts, and law and order," said Abdul Quayyum Kundi.

But analysts say that the first and the foremost challenge would be militancy. "The PTI has a very simplistic view of the militancy in the tribal regions," said Imtiaz Ali in Washington. "The problem is very complex and it can't be resolved only by negotiations as they say."

Imran Khan falls off stage at Lahore rally; sustains serious injuries

TV footage showed him tumbling down along with three or four personal body guards on a pick up truck. The PTI chief was seen bleeding when he was taken away by his party supporters to the city’s Liberty Hospital. 
The 60-year-old, who has undertaken a punishing schedule of daily rallies but who is known for his physical fitness, tumbled from a riser along with several of his staff, seemingly after one of them lost their balance.
Witness Raza Zaidi told AFP that Khan was being lifted on a crane with five people but lost his balance and fell when a sixth one tried to climb up. Khan hit the lifter before falling on the ground.
Khan sustained injuries on his head and back, said the hospital sources. They also said that Khan had to have as many as 16 stitches due to the injuries he sustained at back of his head.
The rally was held near Ghalib Market in Lahore’s Gulberg neighbourhood.
PTI spokeswoman Shirin Mazari told AFP Khan was injured on his forehead after falling from a height of more than seven feet (over two metres), but was conscious.
Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) chief Nawaz Sharif and his daughter Maryam Nawaz issued sympathetic statements to their competitor in Punjab. They prayed for swift recovery of Khan.
Sharif, in rare goodwill gesture, has asked his party workers to immediately halt the media advertisements against Imran Khan.
Chief Election Commissioner Justice (retd) Fakhruddin G. Ibrahim, Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) chief Altaf Hussain and Allama Tahirul Qadri also showed sympathy towards the PTI chief and prayed for his well being.
Famous singer and PTI leader Abrarul Haq has said the party chief is out of danger and stable now at the hospital. Another party leader Asad Umar, talking to Dawn.com, also confirmed that Khan is now conscious and well.
People at the rally venue, where thousands had gathered, expressed sadness.
“Passion and love for Imran Khan brought all these people here. We are still here, all we can do is pray now,” said Sobia Khan, a PTI supporter.  Dawn.Com

10 reasons why PTI has my vote

10 reasons why PTI has my vote

Pakistanis from all walks of life reveal a genuine fervour for voting for PTI. PHOTO: AFP/FILE


I have never voted for anything in my life, yet on May 11, 2013, I will cast my vote for the first time in the upcoming general elections of Pakistan and that too for Imran Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) political party.
In my home city of Karachi, conversations with Pakistani citizens from all walks of life, such as rickshaw and taxi drivers, store vendors, bakers, mechanics, teachers, doctors, artists, and bankers, all reveal a genuine fervour for voting for PTI.
Most of these people have even talked about plans of rounding up friends and family members on Election Day, so that they can make a festive event out of voting.
Even the ‘burger bachaas’ I know have sworn to take time out of their extremely taxing and ‘baked’ sessions of World of War Craft, to vote for PTI. As one acquaintance expressed through his ‘tutti frutti’ language skills,
“I am ready to chalo chalo with Imran, yo!”
It is true that some have been left shaken by the recent bombings at the political hotspots in the city, but it seems that for many, the acts of terrorism have actually strengthened the resolve to vote for change.
Here are 10 reasons why you should vote for PTI:
1. A chance to break a vicious pattern:
With political dynasties and military dictators taking turns at playing ‘pin the tail on the donkey’ with Pakistan, it seems that many Pakistanis abstained from voting in past elections, simply because choosing between candidates was like deciding between The Joker or Lex Luthor.
Although Imran Khan has been in politics for many years, the former cricketer’s political net run rate has been below par in previous campaigns. Now, for the first time in his career, Khan is running in with the momentum of a fast bowler on a green top pitch. Voting for him now is the best chance we have ever had to change the status quo.
2. A chance to elect someone who cares:  
Imran Khan has a great record as a humanitarian, he created the ‘Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital & Research Centre’ in Lahore, to which he is the single largest donor. In order to construct the hospital, Khan put his pride aside, as he took on this herculean task through many challenging years of fundraising, which to an average person would have been a nightmare.
By comparison, what have our other political leaders created, aside from vast quantities of wealth stored away in foreign nations, and mismanagement of taxpayer’s money?
The Lahore Metro Bus for example, has been funded by billions of rupees, and seems like an unnecessary luxury in a city that faces a lack of health care, education, and electricity.
Is there any point in buying ketchup, when you don’t have a hotdog?
3. Pakistan needs a leader who is fearless:  
We knew Imran Khan was a brave man when he faced down frighteningly fast bowlers from Australia and the West Indies in cricket, and lead from the front when he won us the World Cup in 1992. Further cementing his reputation as a bold individual was his decision to marry a woman from a Jewish background, even though he himself came from a growingly right-wing Muslim nation.
Later, during his political career, he travelled to the extremely hostile South Waziristan, to protest against drone attacks, in a move that could have ended his life. Even now, he conducts most of his political rallies without the aid of a bulletproof glass, standing in plain sight to engage his people.
This attitude contrasts sharply with other political hopefuls in Pakistan.
A recent video of Bilawal Bhutto’s speech, explaining why he is unable to return to Pakistan due to threats on his life, has gone viral on social media websites such as Facebook, that has left users unimpressed by Bilawal’s reasoning for not leading from the front.
4. We don’t want our nation’s heads to humiliate us overseas: 
The horribly cringe-worthy moment left us grinding our teeth, when the president of our nation told Sarah Palin she was ‘gorgeous’, upon meeting her for the first time at a public event.
Any woman (yes, even Palin), who has made her mark in politics deserves to be recognised for her craft, rather than her looks. It was sexist, because President Zardari did not go on to pay similar compliments to Barack Obama.
Meanwhile, Imran Khan is a highly polished person who has qualifications in politics and economics from the University of Oxford, and when he speaks, he draws you in with his eloquence.
5. Imran Khan’s record is clean:
Founded in 1996, the past 17 years have been very difficult for PTI, yet the political party has mostly stuck to its principles, and avoided some of the well documented chances to take shortcuts to power. A lesser leader, who did not empathise with his people, would have surely given in to temptation.
Furthermore, if you look at Imran Khan’s cricketing career, there was never any allegation of match-fixing, yet within a few years of his retirement, the team quickly involved itself in wrongdoings. And at this moment in time, unlike other major politicians, Imran Khan has kept all his monetary resources within the country.
6. PTI respects overseas Pakistanis:
Although the foreign remittance helps, it is a loss for Pakistan to have so many of her skilled professionals working overseas rather than serving at home. Many of these educated citizens are making ends meet by driving taxis, yet find this hard life more acceptable than meeting the challenges of living in Pakistan.
It is a fact that most Pakistanis would love to return to their nation if things were better at home, and it seems that PTI is the only political party which realises this, often expressing a desire to create an atmosphere where international Pakistanis find their own country as an attractive option to return with their accumulated wealth.
On the other hand, former Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani, when asked by CNN reporter Becky Anderson to share his thoughts on Pakistanis wanting to leave the country, responded with careless sentiments such as,
“Why don’t they just leave then”,
and
Who’s stopping them?
This left Ms Anderson, an experienced journalist, quite speechless.
It should also be noted that PTI has made it a priority to treat its overseas Pakistanis with dignity and respect, terming such citizens as ‘assets’, and providing them with more rights and resources than they currently have.
7. PTI’s democracy began from within:
PTI’s decision to conduct proper intra-party elections, regardless of the consequences, showed that, to the party, a proper democratic structure was more important than the results, as evidenced by the many disgruntled senior party members who did not make the cut.
On numerous occasions, Imran Khan has promised that once in power, his party will conduct elections in various social services in Pakistan, including the police force. By leading with example through the intra-party elections, Imran Khan has made it apparent that this will not turn out to be a hollow promise.
8. PTI’s goals are practical:
As its party’s manifesto reveals, PTI has designs on fighting major issues such as literacy, poverty, power, and corruption. These ambitions are realistically presented however, and not exaggerated to win favour with voters.
This level of transparency is refreshing in a country where politicians disingenuously suck up to voters like they are on the other end of a 1-900 number.
If only Pakistani politicians put as much energy into ending load shedding, as they do lying about when they will end it.
9. The Kashmir issue:
Years back, the Kashmir issue was the main subject of contention for Pakistanis, and Pakistani politicians used the emotional subject to milk as much endorsement as possible for themselves.
Since then, they have clearly found other emotional issues to manipulate, such as terrorism, inflation, and the lack of electricity, leaving the Kashmiri people mostly forgotten.
It seems that PTI is the only political party which is still serious about reaching a sensible resolution to the Kashmir dispute.
10. PTI cares about the environment:
Pakistan is a beautiful country which has the potential to become one of the greatest tourist attractions in the world. Unfortunately, our skies and lakes are becoming polluted, our wildlife isn’t safe, and very recently, thanks to the timber mafia and former prime minister Raja Pervez Ashraf, a key forest in the Gilgit-Baltistan region lost what protection it had.
Ignoring a policy established since the early 90s designed to protect the forest and its surrounding environment, Ashraf signed away timber worth Rs8 billion, conveniently enough, 24 hours before the end of his government’s term. This was to the horror of the community in that region, who termed it a conspiracy, and stated that the timber mafia had suddenly begun the deforestation process before ‘issuance of the notification’ from up top.
In light of such events, it is reassuring to see that not only does PTI have a detailed environmental policy, but that Imran Khan truly cares about Mother Nature,
“Just like we might have to announce an education emergency because the state of our public education, we will also have to take severe measures to save the environment.”
I am glad that Imran is giving significance to every aspect of Pakistan, including her land.
