THe most important part of this campaign was the one on GT road, leading to the final jalsa in Islamabad. Is that cancelled?

He have had difference with PTI but you can't doubt people's love for IK. IK is a true hero of Pakistan.

 

[The Dark Corner]

I'm sure most Pakistanis feel like that. He is an asset for us.

 

[PTI]

 

[Pak_Jazba]

I'm hearing that he might not be able to campaign further after this.

PTI can still hold rally from lahore to islamabad with IK in hospital.They have container they should put camera and screen in hospital and on container and IK can see crowd being on bed and people can see him.It will have a big impact and IK can still be on rest.
If any one of you have contacts in PTI please forward this idea to top leadership.Thanks

Did anyone see Imran Khans exclusive interview with Dunya News just 5 mins ago.

Almost had tears in my eyes, seeing him in the state he was. May ALLAH grant him health & long life Ameen.

 

[kamz]

Thanks to Altaf Hussain who Stopped addressing a jalsa when he heard this news abt IK.. #Humanity #MQM

Shareef brothers are on their way to meet IK.

ya uski ambulance traffic mein phansi howi hai, that's where they should go to meet him... (good on them none the less)...

NS cancels his campaign for tomorrow in solidarity with IK

people of pakistan should be grateful

1) that there is still humanity left, where IK's enemies are paying him respect and honor of cancelling their jalsas and wishing him well sincerely

2) IK himself still wants to go on despite being injured for the sake of Pakistan

Still some humanity left in Pakistan, Alhamdolilah

[shan]

That looked very unsafe to begin with, why IK agreed to go up there

 

[saadibaba]

What an absloute idiotic move by those people. Already 4 people on that puny lift, you see 3 more people trying to climb that lift. When IK is falling we have a total of 7 people on that lift.....That is just beyond negligence.

Great idea. I guess Insaftak can get this message across.

This idea could have an even greater impact then IK being physically present.

 

[karachiite]

Having seen his interview, he seems in no position to carry on campaigning. Needs serious rest. We need to remember that this is a 60 year old who has been running around the whole country with no rest, physically and mentally exhausted and then to have such a serious accident on top of that. He looked a broken man.

 

[GujjarSher]

That guy in black shirt is his bodyguard I think. I have seen him in other pictures as well in Lahore jalsa.

Can't really blame anyone specifically. That looked incredibly unsafe to begin with.

IK is lucky to be alive with no major injury. Very easy to land on your head and snap your neck from a fall of that height. Perhaps he fell on one of the guards thus cushioning the blow somewhat? Either way, it could have been a lot worse.

I doubt he will campaign any more though. And he really shouldn't. Body needs to rest after a fall like that.

 

[Professor]

So I think from the pictures we can conclude that the guy in the black shirt was foolish and careless but he didnt have any evil intentions.

yeah but everyone in a hospital looks like a broken man. Tomorrow things will become more clear.

 

[insaaniyat]

PTI Leaders should come out and carry his vision. Wd need a new ad. Imran is the man. No doubt in my mind. This is a blessing in disguise. Allah sab acchA karta hai. This is the first time I have seen a united Pakistan. Everyone is with IK. United we stand united Pakistan wins.

 

[asifp]

Inshallah he will be back to full health.

time for other PTI leaders to step up. Time to convey his passion to the nation.

Guards were just doing their job to give him body cover ....but that guy in black shirt made the mistake as he was himself barely finding a place to stand there and yet he tried to lift another man upwards....that was stupidity from their part...

So who should be the person behind the mic for the remaining two days now?

Javed Hashmi?

Both can not fill up the space.....perhaps Imran himself via video link

 

[waqar_ahmad]

If Imran is ok, then why was he being taken to the operation theater? Is there something we dont know?

 

[Pak_Jazba]

That is true. God forbid IK is not able to continue, we need someone to continue the campaign, it just cannot stop with two days to go.

If Imran is ok, then why was he being taken to the operation theater? Is there something we dont know?

He is in ICU, kept in observation for the next 24 hrs.

 

[waqar_ahmad]

^ But what was the operation for?

may be im being paranoid. I am not sure what's going on here.

I dont know how to read this line. Or am I over-analyzing?

 

[Pak_Jazba]

Just heard from a friend, that there were messages being forwarded from unknown sources all over rural punjab that IK is against Naats, he had denounced having naats in his jalsa. So do not vote for him.

Sad thing is people have been believing such things.

I think doctors cannot go on air and lie in official capacity. At this point I believe he's safe and out of danger, may Allah keep him safe.

What will be your stand if Allah forbids instead of Imran Khan our own father faced such an accident. Personally I would only request everyone to pray for his health not use this accident as media campaign for political gains.
If I have respect for Imran as a friend, a father and a leader I would not involve in such act.

Also that's his views and anyone can agree or disagree.

What is this media canpaign? All iv seen so far is a rallying cry to his supporters whom he might not be able tosee because of this incident. His supporters cant go in to see him so its nice for them to know his health status.

what is your take on his article on Rehman Malik? It was pure BS for me. Sure PTI has criticized PML-N more than any other party but all within parliamentary ethics. Forget violence, they havnt even used any un-civil word for their leadership. How did he, then concluded that they'll even support a drone attack on Raiwind?

Is your father IK or just another ordinary Pakistani? If later then he would only need prayers.

Ik only requested his ppl to carry on the fight... while he is down and out... nothing malicious there... had he said noora kushti or shair ka phanta I would have pointed that out as foul... if ur beef is why media went nuts over it.... well media did tjat IK didn't ask for it...

Over the years I have found him mostly well balanced ....this is what I observed,,,

I did not read this particular article.

I will need to read couple of his next articles to make my mind...

Btw,i am happy that Kamran Khan did not make Nawaz Sharif ,PM tonight...
