A time in history

What a historical and memorable time our nation, Pakistan, is going through (“PTI parliamentarians officially name Imran Khan as next prime minister of Pakistan”, Gulf News, August 7). Living legend, Imran Khan, is not only a world-class cricketer, a passionate and successful philanthropist, and a true statesman, he is also honest, courageous and dedicated to help the people of the country.

He has emerged as the winner in the Pakistan general elections this year. Khan’s 22-year political struggle and his life-time innings of successes, failures, and undoubted hard work and commitment has finally reached the moment, where Pakistanis can proudly say that we have a Prime Minister who is honest and not corrupt, who talks about the people and the issues they face, as well as someone who lives up to his words and promises. Khan’s fiery and unstoppable election campaign was just the beginning to a great five-year spell this nation is waiting for. Our faith is with Khan and his words, which match the conviction of politician Mohammad Ali Jinnah, the father of the nation. All this was evident in his victory speech, delivered after 22 hours of polling. His simple attire but confident personality showed everyone around the world his true potential. The world should be ready to witness a new Pakistan. Change is coming, I can feel it.
