India watching developments in Pakistan... but in no hurry
The turn of events in Pakistan has naturally led to a lot of concern and interest in the region and beyond.
In his good old cricketing days, Imran Khan was always a fighter whether with the bat or the ball; but politics is different even for the very seasoned and quite a different cup of tea for new entrants or rookies. At a recent major rally the former Prime Minister of Pakistan stressed “… I’ve never been against any country. I’m not anti-India, anti-Europe or anti-US. I’m with the humanity of the world. I’m not against any nation. I want friendship with everyone but slavery with no one.” Nice sounding rhetoric for a political meeting but lacking in depth when stacked against four year realities. For a person who was screaming about foreign conspiracy in the last days of his tenure, the tone has changed to one of domestic “match fixing” when out of office.
