Text: There is material in the big core
Edit|Big core has material
Just a few days ago, news came from Pakistan: the elections are over, and the preliminary vote count results show that the group supporting Imran Khan has won a majority!
This undoubtedly indicates that the hot-blooded politician who had to step down or even go to prison because of political persecution will return to the political arena and take charge of the situation.
The name Imran Khan is a thunderbolt to the people of Pakistan. For civilians, he is a lifesaver, and for the powerful, he is a thorn in the flesh that they can't wait to get rid of.
For himself, from a national athlete, to a politician on the cusp of the storm, to a loss of power, and now to return, every turning point is full of crises and ambitions.
Political turmoil
Imran Khan, who is now walking on the tip of the knife in the political arena, does not seem to have the idea of politics before.
Since he was a child, he has been living the life of a "successful man": a wealthy family, excellent grades, and even one of the best in sports.
He graduated from Oxford's best undergraduate degree, was a national team cricketer and won his first World Cup title for his country in 1992.
That year, at the age of forty, he was hailed as a "national hero" by the enthusiastic people because he brought glory to the country.
At this time, Imran was also about to retire. He had already entered middle age, and decided to use his strength and wealth to do something practical for the people, so he started his philanthropic career.
Of course, this is partly because of his kindness, and on the other hand, it is also influenced by his own family. His mother died of cancer, and he founded a medical center in his mother's name that specializes in cancer.
So how did he "turn his career" from a philanthropist and retired athlete to a politician?
It was 1996, and Imran was saddened to find that his country no longer allowed himself to do charity quietly. It's not that someone is bullying him, after all, as an influential public figure, no one will be stupid enough to mess with him.
He is saddened by the unequal treatment of the people he loves: the corpses of those in power are fed, corruption is rampant, and the people are miserable and struggling.
The more he did charity for the people, the more he noticed this injustice. So he resolutely decided to establish PTI, a political party that claims to fight for fairness and justice for the people.
He is people-centered and works for the welfare of the people, and the gun is naturally aimed at the corrupt elite. Therefore, many ordinary people have a great affection for him, while the upper class hates him to the core.
In 1997, he participated in the election for the first time, and although he lost, he was not discouraged. Two years later, he managed to win a seat in the election.
Since then, his power has flourished.
In 2013, the PTI had grown to become the third largest party. In 2018, the PTI became the largest party and he became the 22nd Prime Minister.
But the road to prime minister was full of difficulties and bumps. Those years were eventful: YQ, and the economic pressures and political turmoil that YQ brings. The difficulties were all bumped into by him.
In addition, some forces in the country not only did not help him govern the country well, but instead agitated for him to be ousted from power all day long, which also made him anxious.
As the founder of the largest party, he will inevitably be targeted by other parties. What's more, Imran's ruling proposition is to overthrow the privileges of the elite and give justice to the common people, which has hit the guns of some officials.
Of course, his own approach cannot be said to be perfect. As an athlete who has no previous experience in governance, it is difficult to guarantee that the results will be as he wishes.
The combination of various factors led to the "accident" of 2022: Imran was removed from office at the National Assembly that year. There were even police attempts to arrest him and put him in jail, only to give up when stopped by his supporters.
The revenge of the elite against Imran has not stopped. In 2023, he was arrested for his involvement in a corruption case.
Of course, Imran also has a large number of supporters, and the angry crowd sees this as a political repression against Imran, holding violent demonstrations in the streets for two days and even attacking government facilities.
Although Imran has insisted that these are political revenge, he was arrested and imprisoned by the powerful elite and sentenced to three years in prison.
He was charged not only with corruption, but also with illegally selling state gifts and leaking state secrets. This charge of "leaking state secrets" is very intriguing.
What kind of state secret did Imran leak?
In March 2022, Imran released a secret cable, which was a "foreign conspiracy letter" linked to the United States, exposing the United States' attempts to meddle in Pakistan's internal affairs to remove Imran from power.
But his exposure was not only useless, but instead made him saddled with the charge of "leaking state secrets".
In the end, he was sentenced to 14 years in prison, and although there was no danger of his life, Imran was already 71 years old, and if he really gave up resistance, he would almost sit still.
The King Returns
Despite not being able to leave the prison, Imran has not stopped his rebellion. He tried several times to register for the election, but was rejected.
What is even more worrying is that his party, PTI, has also lost its original prestige due to multiple blows, and many people have been arrested or quit the party for various reasons.
The most fatal blow was the "verdict" of the court in January this year: his party was banned from participating in the general election as a political party. If the party members in it want to run, they can only run as independent candidates, and their influence is greatly reduced.
Compared with the menacing of other political parties, the PTI, which is already facing multiple blows, is undoubtedly the end of the crossbow. A lot of people have concluded that they are doomed.
In desperation, Imran had no choice but to run as an independent candidate. But Imran did not give up, but tried to increase his influence and canvass for himself through social media.
"If most of you had stepped up, we wouldn't have lost...... Don't be afraid of anyone. ”
On the 8th of this month, the new election officially began. The voting ended quickly, and then the counting work.
Interestingly, before the counting of votes was over, someone declared themselves victorious, and it was both forces that declared themselves victorious. One is Imran, and the other is Imran's "sworn enemy" Sharif.
Then the result of the vote count was beyond everyone's expectations, Imran, who was heavily shackled, really won against Sharif!
epilogue
On the 11th of this month, the results of the vote count showed that Imran had more than 100 votes, while Sharif only had more than 70 votes, which was a completely landslide victory.
This result not only means a victory for Imran, but also a victory for the supporters behind Imran, that is, the vast majority of the Pakistani people.
