Pakhtun Hero Imran Khan Blasts US Policies

[BLS_1919v2.0]

yeah thanks. he speaks the truth and people still have the nerve to scramble around for things to criticize him with. we should at least give him credit for speaking up for the poor oppressed tribals and pakhtane. that takes a lot of courage during a time when nearly all politicians cant think for themselves and instead simply reiterate the bushist party line supporting or being passive about humanitarian crimes.

This man, despite having his maternal links to Kaniguram waziristan, has done zilch for them. I have yet to see any of his efforts in terms of getting rid of FCR, humanitarian camps, etc. If there is any kindly bring it forward. Daa kas khpl zhaba bandae na pwagee nu daa da khpl qibaelo Pashtano saraa ba tsenga kaenee...na pa kirga pohaa ao na pa pashto.

What makes him a Pakhtun? Do the same rules apply to anyone else or just him?

[qunduz92]

i think you guys are criticizing him so heavily simply because he calls out for a ceasefire and talks with the taliban

On the contrary reconciliation (properly done) is the best way out for us...however the ground realities have made many things muddled.

why si even important if he is a pukhtun afterall?
so if he cant speak pukhto it means the truth he tells is not truth?
and if he says this here which might have an effect on the listeners means he has some hidden agenda?

you people really need to understand people are dying on daily basis and if you cant say it that dont bother when someone else says it be it a punjabi.

Imran Khan is just the average Pashtun talking. No nationalism in him.

No to drone strikes, no to foreigners. Out with the current Pakistani government.

Bacha the war and destruction in Pashtun land is a culmination of problems and flawed policies that are coming to head in the region. This didn't happen with some drone yesterday or a NATO force surge. These drones, and surges are the ugly perpetuating result of these policies by the West, Pakistan and the foolish lack of insight by Pashtuns themselves.

If he is one of us, I would like him to help his people the best way possible, jirga, yawwalee, etc. I have never heard this from him or his followers. All that I hear is hot air from the guy. I can't take as a serious approach. Also everyone who has a political party including the Pashtuns have an agenda.

[parsiwaan]

Feel sorry for Pashtuns people with such heroes...from Nabeghee sharq..Taraki to Amin, Karmal, Najib, GUlbodin, Mullah Omar and now this guy...no wonder Pashtun people are suffering the most.

Imran Khan represents Punjab's interests ... One of the many right-wing Punjab-centeric want to be politicians that blasts US because it is supportig Zaradari a Sindhi and PPP not a Punjab-exclusive political party....For the last 60 years, West has been propping up Punjab's power but whenever a non-Punjabi force assumes power Punjabi chauvinism resurges in a most macabre way...Liaqat Ali Khan, Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, Benazir Bhutto, etc. fell pray to this.

Babrak Karmal was a Tajak I am sure...The rest may be called Pashtuns...

you shouldnt expect him to go pukhtunwali with you
or being one of us ,he is somone who says somehting which is fact.he doesnt have to be Pukhtun to say the truth and to be honest i havent heard many pukhtane condemning the drone attacks even many here on PF.
i understand that its due to those policies but take a look at the world the past policies shouldnt matter anymore.
just look at Egypt and tunisia that is people's power.
but the sad reality is in pakistan khalek de marg pe khob wude dey.

[parsiwaan]

yeah right and your gay goat and that rabani are such heros.
you should go and eat dust.
all the people you meantioned are far better than any of you.

but but but... Masood helped his people...Punjshir is a province, Khalili helped his people...all non-pashtuns helped their people....Non-Pashtun area has gone through a massive infrastructure build up ….Roads are built for the first time in most parts of the country. Millions of students go to school. Tens of millions of Afghans live in secure and peaceful environments as only those fooled by the Talibs suffer from American guns... so these TENS OF MILLIONS that have benefited from roads, hospitals, schools, etc...tell me what did Gulbo or Taliban did for your people?

naa..he was Pashtun..check youtube for his speach..

[Toramana]

naa..he was Pashtun..check youtube for his speach..

Could you provide the link of the youtube video? Anyhow, I will not hesitate admiting him a Pashtun if there is enough evidance to prove that...

I have met Imran Khan, and I found him to be a sincere individual. He was definitely against the Pakistani establishment, and spoke out against their Hindu feudal system.

However, he was also naive to some degree.

Gish gosh, I stopped reading there.

You met Imran Khan, not only did he decide to look at you, he engaged in a conversation with you on politics, and, of course, YOU found HIM to be naive
