Imran Khan

Humanitarian, politician, cricket star, chairman of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, Imran Ahmed Khan was born on October 5, 1952 in Lahore, Pakistan. Khan is the 22nd Prime Minster, Of Pakistan. Khan believed that there needs to be a change for the citizens of Pakistan. Currently, Pakistan is facing some big problems and now it's at the hands of Khan to change the country for the better of his people.

Khan was the only son in his family having four sisters, Aleema Khan, Rani Khanum, Rubina Khanum, and Uzma Khanum. His mother Shaukat Khan who passed way of cancer on May 22nd, 2003. Khan's father, Ikramullah Khan Niazi who was a civil engineer, unfortunately, he passed away on March 12, 2008. Khan's family settled in a small town in Northwest of Punjab, called Mianwali. Khan's family belongs to a Pasthun background, yet his mother was from the southern Pasthun tribe in Jalandhar.

Khan did his education at Aitchison college, a cathedral school in Lahore, Pakistan he then moved to London to continue his education, he attended Royal Grammar School Worcester. in 1972, he enrolled to Keble College, (Oxford) where he studied Philosophy, Politics and Economics which he graduated in 1975. Khan believed that Education will take him places where he never imagined before.

Khan comes from a family that play's a lot of cricket, during his teenage players he played the game in Pakistan; Khan made his first-class debut as an all-rounder (batting and bowling). At the age of sixteen, he started playing for local teams near his town before joining the big leagues. Khan's first test match for the Pakistan cricket team was on July 3rd, 1971 in Birmingham, London, unfortunately his performance was not so good in that match. in 1974, he debuted in a One-Day-International also know as ODI, and he was selected in the national team, prior his return to Pakistan. During his spectacular performance in the mid-1976-77, against New Zealand and Australia Khan become to known as fast bowler in Pakistan.

in 1982, he was selected as the captain of the Pakistan cricket team, his performance was phenomenal as a fast bowler and as an all-rounder. Due to Khan’s success, his team had its first victory against England after 28 years. During his captaincy, Khan successfully managed Pakistan to win more matches, as matter of fact, Pakistan won 14 out of 48 matches and lost 8 out of 26 matches which resulted to a draw. Two years later, Khan suffered a stress fracture which kept him out of the game for a while.

As soon as he recovered, Khan returned and gave Pakistan the first win of a test match against India in 1987, which lead by another win by a test series in England. Imran had a brief retirement period from 1987-1988, but Pakistan’s President & Marshal Law Administrator Zia-ul-haq, requested Khan to participate in the next match against the West Indies. After the match ended, he was given a trophy called, “The Man Of The Series” due to his 23 wickets in 3 consecutive test matches. He stopped playing cricket in 1992 with the most runs. Khan was a legend in the game many players want to copy his technique, so they can follow Khan’s footstep as the best cricket player.

From the early 1990’s the death loss by cancer grew exponentially compared to other countries around the world. Doctors did not know what was happening with their patients, couldn’t find a way to treat their patients. Khan developed a charity organization called, Shaukat Khanum Memorial Trust, in recognition of his mother. The charity researched the development of cancer and similar diseases.

In 1997 Khan joined politics by setting up his own political party, called Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, also known as PTI. It was established on April 25, 1996, in Lahore, Pakistan. PTI landed the first seat during the 2002 elections, however, Khan won the National Assembly Of Mianwali. Unfortunately, PTI got shunned by 2008 due to heavy corruption.

Nawaz Sharif has money account from different countries, such as Saudi Arabia, and London, in fact, Sharif has investments in India Sharif was the former Prime Minister Of Pakistan, and he wasn’t taking care of the country properly, instead, he only cared about his wealth and fame.

Five years later, in 2013, Imran started a trend, Naya Pakistan Resolution’ which translates to, “New Pakistan Resolution PTI received nearly around 7.5 million votes, it was the second-highest votes during 2013 election season.

Khan is a man of his words; Khan has made six promises to the country, which are from PTI’s website: I will never lie to my nation, I will keep all my wealth in Pakistan, I will not be like other leaders who rule in Pakistan but keep their wealth abroad, I will not take or allow others to take unfair benefit PTI time in government, I will guard the nation's tax. It will not be spent on Governor, PM, and CM houses. The PTI government will break the walls of the Governor houses, me and my government will wage a 'Jihad' against injustice in the country, We as a nation will stand with our overseas Pakistanis.

Khan worked long hours on his campaign, some days he wouldn’t sleep due to the amount of work that needed to be completed. One day, he injured his head and back and fell to the stage, there was a live broadcast from his hospital bed to make a final decision to the voters. Unfortunately, due to his injury, he had lost the election. PTI produced most of the votes. Khan accused the election was rigged, the government did a thorough investigation. The end result the government wanted to check if Khan’s statement was true

As time progressed, the government found the Panama Paper, which is an offshore account in multiple countries, that Nawaz had. Khan found a weak spot of Nawaz and developed a protest in late 2016. Fortunately, the protest had to stop because of the Pakistani (Supreme Court) agreed to do a final investigation. A year later, in 2017, the investigation came true Nawaz Sharif was forced to resign from Office. Elections were held a year after that, Khan developed a platform and fought for poverty and corruption. Soon, Tehreek-e-Insaf won a plurality of seats in the National Assembly, allowing Khan to seek a coalition with independent members of parliament. He swore as prime minister on August 18, 2018

In conclusion, Khan is a “True Leader:”, because he is not greedy for money and attention. Imran is eager to work for the satisfaction for the people Of Pakistan and the expansion of Pakistan. He is more educated, and he has changed the charisma of other politicians of Pakistan. However, in a corrupt system, it’s not going to be easy for him and change the system; yet we hope for the best. I believe with Khan's hard work and dedication for the country he can change the outlook of the country.
