ZAB & IK

Comparing the recent sudden rise in Imran Khan’s popularity to that of ZAB’s similar performance four decades ago, a lot looks common between the two, only ZAB was more theatrical.  Both are (were) promising more than they could deliver. Imran needs to be more watchful as he might lose the popular support - particularly of the younger lot - if the old heavy weight turn coats - the very embodiment of corruption - keep coming in to the party. The very basis of his charm – elimination of corruption and return of the plundered national wealth – will be affected beyond repair.
