The cricket fan inside me wants to see Imran come into Power.But the realist inside me doesn't see that happening.Yes the rally in Lahore is going to be huge,but Imran's popularity is primarily based in Urban areas,where the majority of our educated class lives.Other small areas,which constitute a much larger political playground as far as the vote bank goes,are dominated by PPP and PML-N,and the political formula followed there is based on the primitive ancestral thing.These people have been supporting their respective parties for ages,and there is no way in hell that Imran will convert a significant chunk of them into PTI supporters.
Nevertheless the rally in Lahore today is going to be great.Imran has promised that atleast.I'm in Karachi for a few days but had i been in Lahore i would have definitely attended.A lot of my friends are already there.And well,if the rally goes as well as Imran intended,then things might change.
Over the last few days i've heard a lot of political analysts speak about the PML-N and PTI rallies in Lahore,and they all seem to say : "When Lahore Changes.Pakistan Changes".Apparently Bhutto's movement for change also got it's first major burst when he came Lahore via the Railway.I don't know how much of this is true,and how much it will change things,but let's hope for the best.I'm a huge Musharaf supporter and i've always been in favor of Military rule,but i might shift to Imran soon
