Dubai: This election has been unique and surprises keep on coming as the polling results are announced. Apart from Imran Khan’s victory, another important factor that has surfaced quite significantly is the worst ever defeat faced by the extremists and religious factions in the country.
Top religious party chiefs such as Maulana Fazalur Rehman and Sirajul Haq were summarily rejected by the voters. Similarly, candidates of Labaikh Tehreek lost miserably and none of the candidates fielded by the banned religious outfit headed by Hafiz Mohammad Saeed could secure a seat. It is a clear indication that Pakistani people are freeing themselves of the clutches of such groups.
Now the question is whether Imran Khan would be able to deliver as the Prime Minister of Pakistan. Khan’s promise of 10 million jobs and five million homes is definitely a daunting task to meet. The reality may strike once the euphoria of victory subsides as the PTI would have to deal with many serious challenges facing the country.
Election victory is the first step but the real challenge lies ahead. Some of the major issues Imran will have to deal with are: revival of the economy, fight against terrorism, effective foreign policy, healthcare, education and unemployment.
To begin with, he will have to address immediate economic issues as external debt has risen by $22 billion while Pakistan’s reserves at the moment are barely sufficient to cover two months of imports. But Imran is expected to overcome major issues as he has an excellent team of experts who have already laid out plans for the country. We have to wait and see if they will be able to implement the plan in the proper manner - because governance in Pakistan is the biggest challenge.
Thanks. This is indeed big news.
Nothing changes.
It is also in a man's heart to freely worship or not.

The biggest break India ever got was when the muzzie leadership turned coat and peeled off Pakistan into a separate polity. Thanks robowombat.
WHAT/WHO IS THEIR ‘RELIGIOUS EXTREMISTS’?
THX...dumb me
Call me when they renounce Islam.
“Pakistan election results: Voters reject religious extremists”
Is that saying much?
Actually it is!
It might mean a majority of Pakistanis want to live in a normal nation.
Jennah their national founder (who was an atheist!) gave Pakistan a secular constitution. Of course like everything in life there is an inconsistency, in Pashtun I think Pakistan means “Land of the Faithful”. So an atheist with no faith gives his country the name “Land of the Faithful”. Politics I am sure, he gets to found a country & so does Gandhi.
How long does it take to dig out 5 million caves?
