Political tempest or impolitic

Published Updated

"I have always felt that a politician is to be judged by the animosities he excites among his opponents" -Sir Winston Churchill. But with the declaration of political tempest (tsunami) the Chairman PTI, has gone past the intellectual appraisal (above) of the victor of WW-II. In my opinion, his recent rhetorics have been laced with patriotic braggadocio, panegyric and panache (...two wickets in one delivery...)
It is, therefore, imperative for him to shed his adoration of the orations in Rajniti (film) and focus on the core issues of rampant corruption, crime and the recovery of 100 billion USD hidden in the offshore coffers of Pak crooks. This is the only way forward to succeed and match the aspirations of the nation and be idolised as idealist. Otherwise, PTI will end up in the cul-de-sac of impolitic.
