And Ill Vote for Him Again
I voted for Imran Khan's Islamic republic of pakistan Tehreek-eastward-Insaf (PTI) in 2013. I voted for Imran Khan in 2018. He was the National Assembly PTI candidate in my area of residence in Lahore.
Despite a few disappointments related to PTI regime'southward functioning since September 2022 after Khan'due south swearing-in as the prime number minister of Islamic republic of pakistan, in that location has not been a unmarried occasion when I had to self-question: why did I vote for Khan?
My lifelong fascination with politics is deeply interconnected with my unchangeable belief: political leaders, through their intention, vision, sagacity and activeness have the ability to change the destiny of a land, in every way. Nonetheless the sure flaws of their character, as a Pakistani who has unabashed love for her state, and as a human beingness who observes and cares well-nigh every little thing happening in her country, I believe that if they take iii qualities, they accept my trust. And my vote.
I turned into a PTI supporter from a cautious sceptic in 2011. I didn't think PTI had a very bright future. All I focused on were 3 qualities of Imran Khan, which despite his much-discussed few imperfections fabricated him the leader I could trust Pakistan's future with:
- Imran Khan is sincere to the point of being an idealist to the wellbeing of Pakistan and Pakistanis.
- Imran Khan is financially incorruptible.
- Imran Khan's compassionate of the pain of the underprivileged, making him unique in the world of politics where self-preservation and self-advancement are ever paramount.
Equally long equally Imran Khan is these three things, he is my leader.
On April nine, Prime Minister Khan tweeted: "Today saw the launch of the biggest cash distribution past any govt in Pak's history, directly to the about vulnerable & needy citizens in our society. This is a great achievement of our govt to transfer cash to the needy in our society on such a massive scale across the land. Rs 144 billion will exist distributed amongst 12 million families over the next 2 weeks."
Cash distribution program
The biggest cash distribution programme in the history of Pakistan is the Ehsaas Emergency Greenbacks programme. Ehsaas is Khan's government'due south "biggest and boldest programme ever launched in Pakistan to uplift marginalised people."
Nether the impeccable supervision of Special Assistant to the Prime Minister of Pakistan on Poverty Alleviation and Social Protection Dr Sania Nishtar, regime of Pakistan's Rs 150 billion social protection plan will aid 12 meg families. The raison d'être of the Ehsaas Emergency Greenbacks Program, according to Dr Nishtar, is "to provide social protection to more than 12 one thousand thousand deserving families affected by economical downturn due to COVID-19."
Through regular interactions with members of the affected segments of social club, and updates via videos and tweets, Dr Nishtar'due south electric current work is focused on providing comprehensive information about the relief plan and ensuring its glitch-free implementation.
Using NADRA'southward database, identification of welfare-eligible families has been done; contact has been fabricated through SMS. In Pakistan where the majority of the people lack access or cognition of banking processes and engineering science-assisted transactions, making a system that is like shooting fish in a barrel to avail is not a simple process.
A big number of Pakistanis, already familiar with the online transaction processes of Easy Paisa and JazzCash, with adequate guidance, are and will be able to benefit from the Ehsaas relief program.
A big number of Pakistanis, already familiar with the online transaction processes of Easy Paisa and JazzCash, with adequate guidance, are and will exist able to benefit from the Ehsaas relief program.
A significant step to ensure sustainable delivery of cash for 12 meg families to "buy rations so that they don't get hungry" is the reorganisation of the district system to avoid mismanagement. Fear of overcrowded-ness at counters of 18,000 branches of banks assigned to reimburse funds is another upshot that must non be immune to become an obstacle in providing relief to people in the fourth dimension of COVID-19.
Social and physical distancing is the fundamental safeguard against coronavirus; establishing that in reality and in full is a herculean task in a developing land like Pakistan where the material status of millions of people makes distancing and remaining indoors for long periods a physical impossibility. Information technology is an agonising reality of Pakistan that Prime Government minister Khan highlighted, with pain, in ane of his coronavirus awareness and prevention speeches to the nation in March.
Dr Nishtar and her team, under the constant supervision of Prime Minister Khan, are doing their best to make Ehsaas the temporary relief millions of Pakistanis need as they lose their daily or monthly livelihoods due to the horrific reality of the ongoing pandemic.
On April 11, the total number of reported coronavirus cases in Pakistan is 4, 788. The number of recovered patients is 762. The number of those who didn't survive is 72. Information technology is painful to read these numbers. To the prime minister of Pakistan, these are not mere numbers. To him, they are Pakistanis who are suffering, who lost their lives, whose families weren't with them when they died, whose loved ones will mourn them for forever.
Prime number Minister Khan'south April 2022 Ehsaas Emergency Cash Programme in a cash-strapped Islamic republic of pakistan is simply an extension of his decades' long business organisation for the poor, the invisible of Pakistan. The Urdu "ehsaas" defies a perfect translation. In the sense that it is used as the title of Islamic republic of pakistan'due south social relief program, it could be translated into business organisation, pity, empathy. The final discussion is the fundamental of Khan's politics. Empathy of Khan for the invisible of Pakistan is why I look at him as my leader, my hero. Empathy of Khan is not a new phenomenon.
In an interview in 2004, Imran Khan, former cricketer, philanthropist and politico, said: "It was one moment. I saw her [Khan'southward mother] in pain. I was waiting for her doctor. This old man walked in with a slip in his hand; he asked the assistant if he had brought all the medicines, who answered one more was needed. I saw this human being; his confront just became sad. And he left.
"When asked, I was told that the man's brother was dying of cancer. He had brought him from a place 100 miles away; no bed in the hospital, he slept on the floor. All day he worked, returned and sabbatum with him all nighttime. And he toiled to buy him medicines. Considering of my own situation [his mother's cancer], this became a turning indicate. Here, I am privileged, no shortage of resources, and look at what I'm going through. What must this human being be going through? That was when I idea of edifice a cancer hospital. Where a poor person can walk in, and if he doesn't have coin, he shouldn't have to worry almost having a loved 1 treated free."
Lockdown
On the result of the complete lockdown of Pakistan, Imran Khan, Prime Government minister of Pakistan, on March xx, addressed the nation: "…our issue is that 25 pct of Pakistanis live under the poverty line. That means that they are unable to have two proper meals. If I do a complete lockdown today, information technology would mean that rickshaw drivers, roadside sellers, taxi drivers, small shopkeepers, daily wage earners of my country will be locked inside their homes. Would they have resource to feed their families for two weeks? Practice we have the chapters that we provide them nutrient at their homes? Right now, our capacity is not that.
"If I do a full lockdown, I'd have to think: what will happen to my Pakistanis who live under the poverty line?"
Pakistan went into a lockdown on March 22. A few days later on, the prime minister of Islamic republic of pakistan, with his deep ehsaas, his unflinching empathy for the poor, the invisible of Islamic republic of pakistan, appear his Ehsaas Emergency Cash Program.
If I'm live, I'll vote for Imran Khan in 2023. InshaAllah.
