Once touted as Pakistan's most eligible bachelor for his rugged Pathani good looks, Khan married thrice. On combating terrorism, it promises to take immediate steps to reform the criminal judicial system.Īs a politician, Khan's vision is to turn Pakistan into a just society, based on humane values, by creating an independent and honest judiciary that will uphold democracy, protect human rights and ensure the rule of law and, by promoting a merit based system that provides equal opportunity to all, according to Khan's profile on his party's website. The PTI has prepared a 100-day plan to meet serious economic and administrative woes faced by the country, and on the foreign policy and national defence front, the party's manifesto promises to work on a blueprint towards resolving the Kashmir issue within the parameters of the UN Security Council resolutions. He believes the "most viable" policy to ensure peace in the region was to cooperate with India, including on the Kashmir issue. Khan, who is believed to have the backing of the powerful military, has vowed to make a 'Naya Pakistan' which would be an Islamic welfare state. However, during his campaign in the 2018 elections, Imran Khan promised to crackdown on corruption, enact anti-poverty programmes, improve healthcare and education and turn his country into an Islamic welfare state. The violent protests ended after Khan and Qadiri entered into an agreement with the Sharif government to set up a judicial commission to probe the allegations of poll rigging. Within a month, he entered into an alliance with Pakistani-origin Canadian cleric Tahir-ul-Qadri with both pressing for dismissal of the Sharif government. He led a rally of his supporters from Lahore to Islamabad, in August 2014, demanding Sharif's resignation and investigation into alleged electoral fraud. In May 2014, Khan alleged that the polls were rigged in favour of the ruling Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz led by then prime minister Nawaz Sharif. His party also emerged as the second largest in Pakistan by popular vote.
Khan, 65, became a Member of Parliament in the 2002 elections, and again got elected to the National Assembly in the 2013 elections. The Oxford-educated Pasthun launched the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party in 1996, but strived hard to break the dominance of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) - the two main political parties that dominated Pakistan's political scene. He has claimed victory in the polls, but an official announcement is pending. Khan, who is dubbed as one of Pakistan's greatest cricketers for transforming his shaky, but talented, team into champions in the 1992 Cricket ODI World Cup, today proved himself as an inspiring leader in politics also by leading his party to the top spot in the general elections. As Imran Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) is emerging as the single largest party in Pakistan's National Assembly, curiosity about former cricketer-turned politician's has also increased. Who is Imran Khan? Well, he started off as a rich person studying in England and turned himself into a superstar cricketer and thereafter, a politician.
