100 days of Imran Khan: A Prime Minister who feels the pain of the poor
We look at 100 days of Khan in power in Pakistan
On November 6, 2018, a photograph appeared on the Twitter timelines of Pakistan. It was the image of a tired-looking man and his three little children, huddled under an old blanket, sleeping on a road, their backs resting against a yellow and black road divider. There was a red-haired, raggedy doll lying at the edge of the sheet on which all of them slept, tightly curled into one another. Around them was the merchandise of the man, probably a street hawker: baskets made of wicker and a few colourful plastic bicycles. The picture was taken by some concerned citizen as the family of four slept on the side of a road in one of the most affluent areas of Lahore. Twitter in Pakistan erupted into a wave of sympathy and compassion.
Three days later, another set of photos appeared in which a kind restaurant-owner had taken the family for shopping and food; he is also said to have enrolled the three children in a school. I thought it was one of the most beautiful things I had seen in ages.
And as I believe there is no power like that of positivity of humanity in a world marked with cruelty and apathy, there appeared another tweet on November 10, 2018 in which the photo of the man and his three children and his meager wares was re-posted. This time the tweet was from the Prime Minister of Pakistan, Imran Khan: “Today I laid the foundation for 1st of 5 shelters for the homeless in Lahore & one in Pindi to be followed by shelters in other cities. We are committed to building a social net for our poor citizens so everyone has a shelter over his/her head & access to health & education.”
