Whoa whoa whoa, I really have to admire the way my respected senior Fahd Hussain has written to the Imran Khan. And frankly, I really do agree with what Fahd has written in his article. I am no Imran Khan supporter and my limited audience knows how much I criticize Khan for his political ideas.

I do not need to budge much on this as everything is crystal clear in front of us. Whether you go to social media or the tv gossip-shows (talk-shows), you find small minds all the way.
I have to admit that I am also a figure among those small minds. My recent writings have been constantly directed towards Imran Khan. Though, I have always criticized his policies and stance, but in between I have also gotten personal. My pretext of keeping Khan under a constant barrage of criticism was and is a sole one.
