Sir — This refers to your editorial, “Imran’s Pakistan” (July 27). Twenty-two years after he first plunged into politics, Pakistan’s successful cricket captain Imran Khan is all set to become the Prime Minister of the troubled nation, albeit with a huge helping hand from the omniscient military .
However, there is a disappointment for Imran Khan. Hundreds of individuals linked with banned groups were contesting the election but none of them won a seat in the national or provincial assemblies. Pakistan Army’s hope, therefore, of “mainstreaming” the militants has been dashed. While it is too early to say what kind of administrator Imran Khan will turn out to be, let’s hope his promise to make a new beginning will be tested in Kashmir.
