Imran Khan's Journey from Cricketing Playboy to Politician

Imran Khan: The story of the Pakistani cricket legend's new political test in 2006.
He started out as a cricketer, but Imran Khan ultimately turned to politics, eventually becoming Pakistan's Prime Minister. This 2006 report explores the early days of Khan's pivot into the political sphere.

In a country that had been ruled by a succession of dictators, Imran Khan was an outsider championing democracy. "We want a sovereign Pakistan. We do not want a president to be a poodle of George Bush", said Khan. But critics argued his position was unoriginal. "Who isn't trying to be anti Musharraf in this country?. It isn't novel", said news editor Najam Sethi. “There’s a fear America is about to destroy our way of life”, Khan states. “There is a radicalism going on in reaction to what is happening.” Another criticism levelled against Khan in the early days of his political career was that he had autocratic leanings: 'People in his own party who worked with him and then left say he's autocratic, he doesn't listen and he has a clique of people around him who are chums and buddies', says Sethi.

"He will never be more than a celebrity outsider". That is exactly why one should never let other's opinion become your reality. Prime Minister Imran Khan!

"I changed my character that suits my mission" What a golden phrase said by Imran Khan sahab

[@rostamsunny8802]

"hell never be anything more than a celebrity outsider"... Here we are 10 years later and Khan has the largest political party in Pakistan by membership, a whole province under him and the second largest political party by vote count. And the best thing about Khans philosophy.... Its contagious! #watchout

“Imran Khan has got to learn to accept that there is a trickle down affect of corruption everywhere.. He’s got to learn to live with it’’- Najam Sethi Cut to all these years later when his hard, honest work finally payed out, he drove out every corrupt politician in the state one by one and is now the most solid Prime Minister in the history of Pakistan. So proud of what he has accomplished against all odds!

Najam Sethi is a realist so he limits his thinking and believes reality cannot change. Everyone is corrupt so we have to deal with it. Imran Khan is a rare more special breed of human. He is a visionary. He believes the world should change for the better. Politicians should not be corrupt we need to change that. Life is easy for the realist and hard for the visionary. The realist adapts to life and changes his morals to fit the world he lives in. The visionary is a lone wolf. He rather be alone and right than be popular and wrong. You have one life you can either choose to be a Najam Sethi or an Imran Khan.

Imran Khan has gone through a transformation as all of us humans do. But the difference is that his transformation is quite public and to his credit he doesn't hide it. And he doesn't shy away from showing his good or bad and accepting his mistakes.

In a political system where a democratic secular civilian administration is historically difficult. Thanks to a military that is too involved in politics with its own agenda or corrupt families leaving they only possible leaders either islamists, military generals or both.

[@AliAhmed-rt7ts]

Where is not historically difficult (democracy)? As for your second comment, I would opt for the latter being the main problem. The military is the only national institution that is currently not operating under the aegis of foreign interests. Shalom from San Francisco! Your lost cousin, Yousufzai

15:15 Najam Sethi basically saying "we have to be corrupt." What a shame, he is admitting on live tv his own corruption. "In Rome, do as the Romans do." This phrase is exactly what the status quo wants to establish, a mentality of subservience and submission to the corrupt...but Muslims do not accept corruption. You will be rejected wherever you go by true believers, Insha'Allah!
