Chairman of Pakistan Tehreek e Insaf (PTI), Imran Khan is currently in Turkey as he was invited by the Prime Minister of Turkey, Tayyip Erdogan.
Erdogan is currently one of the most popular Muslim political leaders of the world. Under his leadership, Turkey has now become a force to reckon with in the world and the lives of the ordinary citizens have improved massively since last eight years.
This is a very encouraging sign for the Muslim countries as the political leaders are sharing each other’s vision and helping each other to eradicate the problems of their countries.
It is quite interesting to note that Turkey was a secular country before Erdogan took over as the Prime Minister. However, the Justice Party has changed the face of Turkey and now Islam has a major role to play in the law-making of the country.
On the other side of the coin, Imran is rapidly becoming the most popular political figures of Pakistan. He founded PTI in mid-1990s but his party failed to make an impression on the political scene of the country for a number of years, before the situation changed drastically last year after massive public processions in Lahore and Karachi, the two major cities of Pakistan.
Ironically, just like Erdogan’s, Imran’s party also means movement for justice. The vision of both the leaders is quite similar as they are the believers of Islamic welfare system.
At the present moment of time, Pakistan is going through a number of problems. The major political parties of the country, Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) and Pakistan Muslim League (N) have headed a number of governments since last two and a half decades.
Most of the educated people in Pakistan have a consensus that the people of Pakistan must look for a change and should get rid of the tried and tested politicians. There does not seem to any other option of change at the moment apart from the cricketer turned politician.

I agree Imran Khan seems to be more educated and honest person than the rest of politicians.
But we had a very intelligent leader Mr.Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto Marhoom, who on the advise of Mullahs declared Ahmadis as non Muslim in the constitution of Pakistan. Look at what Mullahs did to him. I hope Imran Khan stays away from ” Kafir producing Mullahs ” and listens to those who want to live in peace and leave the the matters of faith to God.
