Free the people of Pakistan by land reforms...You have indeed gathered people. You put up an excellent show. Expectations are aroused. But where is the beef, where are the Structural Reforms? If you in your manifesto do not have Structural Reforms then you will find the same old faces in the parliament. You don't seem to have an idea how to change the status quo. Let me venture to guide you. Do not worry about winning or losing. If you are good in policies you will win.
Now that you have a chance consider what change can one make? That is possible with structural reforms. Where are they? No where. So first Imran Khan should make a good agenda for himself. The most important agenda is freedom that has so far not touched us - not at all.
People of India were not freed in 1947 but 1n1951/52 when land reforms were announced. These land reforms did not allow anybody to have more than 56 acres of land. The excess land was distributed among the landless poor.
The land lords, vaderas, choudhries and sardars were undone with one stroke. If Imran Khan should do something big he must do something like this. Start with land reforms, start with restricting unlimited land holdings. What is this patwari you were talking about? No that is not the right path. Bring in legislation for rural land ceiling and implement it.
You will free the people of Pakistan. Distribute the excess land among the landless poor. They want a leader who gives something to them. You be the one Imran Khan. Free them from the bondage of land lords be it in Punjab, Sindh, Baluchistan, KPK or any where.

How true. You may collect as many people as you want because people are so fed up with the way things are going. But Imran also does not have any thing of far reaching consequences to offer. Thinker is just on the dot. Hope Imran is reading.
If Imran does not have any thing substantive to offer the bubble will burst sooner than later.
Thinker, you have hit the nail on the head. Freeing the nation from the shackles of vadera shahi, malik and chaudhrys, the zamindaars and the land owners , is of the essence. Imran Khan indeed has the promise of a man of action, a doer and someone who is capable of making a difference. Has he arrived?. No not yet as Thinker has pointed out. It will be the real test of Imran if he takes on the feudal system that is at the core of Pakistan's slide.I would like to post this piece on some other blogs too if Thinker allows me, so this valuable advice has added chance of reaching Imran's heart and mind.
Well done, Thinker.

Sir you are most welcome to forward it or copy it to any one. Not only this article but any thing on this blog. And Sir thank you so much for your appreciation. Very grateful.
Atlast Imran said something good. For Kashmir he said civilian actions will be far better than any militancy which has so far led no where.
Dear thinker wish you all the best in what you are doing i.e engaging people from all walks of life to share their opinions ..because talking leads to resolving..As for Mr.Imran khan I'm not very clear about how is he going to eradicate poverty? What are his policies about educational reforms ? How is he going to replace the guns with books ? what steps he' ll take to reduce corruption ? What kind of safety he is offering for the people ? I THINK WE NEED AN AWARENESS CAMPAIGN FOR THE PEOPLE OF PAKISTAN ABOUT HOW TO CHOOSE THEIR LEADER? BECAUSE WE HAVE BEEN TAKEN FOR GRANTED ALOT IT'S ABOUT TIME WE SHOULD ASK QUESTIONS ...

Beautiful. Imran is useless if he does not think of land reforms and structural reforms as Thinker has written. Do something big man big. Don't be another politician seeking power. Remove regionalism, parochialism, nepotism and tribalism. We are all Muslims, for whom Pakistan was made and don't want to be termed as anything else. I urge Imran to remind one and all why Pakistan was created.
