If you ask me the sole reason why I think that there is no future for Imran Khan in the Pakistani Politics until and unless he solely depends upon the establishment, then it is his imposing and dictatorial style which is his nature, and he simply cannot shed that away, though he tries sometimes.
For example, when PML-N made the blunder of loosing the Hazara area of Khyber Puktunkhwa because they didn’t do anything to prevent ANP-PPP to change the name of province which has no representation of Hazara, Imran tried to impose himself on the Baba Haider Zaman and tried to replace PML-N at his own. Baba Haider tried to contact Imran and asked him to join his movement for Hazara province, but Imran wanted all the limelight for himself and failed spectacularly.
Same happened for Imran in his sit-ins of Karachi and Islamabad and Lahore. He refused to accept the help of Jamat-e-Islami, and his dharnas were just show of misery. He staged a good show in Peshawar, but then again failed to capitalize on that success and there was no follow up and there was no party management there.
So political acumen, in the nut shell, is what Imran lacks and that is fatal for any political career. Imran is lucky that he has committed so many blunders and yet he is there, just because the others are so incompetent or perhaps others don’t ever take him seriously.
