This is the leadership , it's a feudal dynasty everything else is just propaganda to retain their throne. Reason they were banned constitutionaly because they wouldn't compromise on what prophethood means , which means either the constitution of Pakistan gives them the helm or kicks them out , you can't have a state within a state. Everything is political. If they had retracted their prophethood claim, they could retain land and continue like so many other dynasties. It's nothing to do with religion it's old school land politics of the sub continent. To this end they are willing to bow to British imperial interests as well as garner israeli support.

[@MalikaRose2000]

In my family of 5, 3 are IK supporters. One is Neutral lol and I’m against PTI for all the same reasons as the speakers on this Podcast. Imran Khan has a huge brainwashed, fanatical following among uk Pakistanis. There is absolutely no reasoning with them. He’s beyond reproach and everything is an amreeki saazish against him, and even the break up of his marriage with Jamima Goldsmith is blamed on Nawaz Sharif, because heaven forbid any woman in her right mind would never think of leaving mr golden balls unless there was a nefarious agency behind the scenes pulling the strings and making her divorce him. My septuagenarian youthia parents will not be reasoned out of their immovable belief that IK is not the messiah, he’s a very naughty boy.

Even these days, behind the scene are those forces which have been at the helm of affairs all the time, in political history of Pakistan. You are doing a good job of reminding people of military nurtured fascist political parties, because public memory is too short. The present day politics is just a repetation of history. We are where we were 40 years ago.

[@f.50]

The one reason I can give you for doing this regularly even if you keep talking about the same things is the same reason why IK does it, it sticks with people. His dodgy narrative needs a rebuttal and consistently so looking forward to another podcast with the great Muzammil.

Thank you for this analysis. I am really trying to learn more about the Pakistani political system and listening to you both is really helpful in this regard. Your notions of strong, beautiful and English speaking men inspiring respect from the middle classes in Pakistan rings true. Everyone in Pakistan hates the Brits and Americans but they still want to be able to talk to them! Imran Khan is massively revered by Pakistanis of my parent's age, so people in their 70s, they have brainwashed their children (my mother used to say, yeh app kay mamoon hain when we were children) that generation has bought up the young people running about after PTI now. Never elect Cricketers, footballers, actors or reality tv businessmen! Their egos will for sure be bigger than their zahaanat. You are right, Imran Khan is a brand and knows how to manipulate an already susceptible public. This is how the Brexit debate was won, appealing to emotions, rule Britania, national pride, we can go it alone Bakwaas. Europe sub evil ka baais hai! It was like the turkeys voting for Christmas because those who will suffer the most from Brexit are the ones who voted for it. The most offensive thing I have heard from PTI supporters is the notion of Imran Khan being at the level of naboota! Astakhfirulla!! Yeh human tou is age kay human's me bhi elevated nahi socha ja sak ta. Aap iss bunday ko oon hustion kay saath compare karein hain jin ki lives Allah kay peghaaim per based theein appey promotion aur khudparusti pe nahi!! Stay away from politics, no good will come of it. You are both doing more good doing what you are doing. I appreciate your bravery and talents. Keep going! You have support from outside and inside Pakistan!
