Imran Khan could swing the red cherry either way. At will, often devastatingly. But swinging the Pakistani electorate to his worldview hasn't been easy—his Tehrik-e-Insaf came a cropper in the last general election. Famed for his ability to overcome insurmountable odds on the cricket field, Imran Khan has been lately demonstrating some of his indefatigable sprit in the political field. He endorsed Gen Musharraf's referendum, sparking speculations that he was dreaming to become prime minister. Imran Khan talks to Mariana Baabar about his dreams, and his love for Musharraf.
What made you support Musharraf in the referendum?
What do you think about allegations of large-scale irregularities in the referendum?
Don't you think your support to Musharraf is tantamount to working against democracy? Or, is it that you feel Pakistan needs a kind of 'guided' democracy?
You have been eagerly backing Musharraf from the time he came to power. Some say this is because you can't politically achieve anything substantial on your own.
