The Imran Khan’s so called myth of change is leading the youth of Pakistan in a wrong direction and it totally negates the phenomenon of change. To bring change in our country we have to change ourselves. We have to play our part as active citizens , instead of blaming others we have to work hard and try to work for the betterment of our beloved country. As Faraz said

Excellent say, indeed. If we pragmatically analyse as to where our woes actually emanates from, we would realize that much of blame lies on ourselves. We are not tired of blaming others, especially our leaders for wreaking havoc with the citizenry.There is point in it. Our leaders -be they military Generals our democratically elected ones- left no stone UN turned to push the country towards decline. But what the citizenry it self did? Do we realize our responsibility as a citizen ?
We are a society where moral values are taken least care of.How many among-st us exercise the right of vote for best interest of country? When voters of an MNA or MPA want him to do favours for them in Thana , Katchehry by appointing SHO, Tehsildar etc of their choice , can such public representative take the risk of ignoring such demands? Why corrupt people make their way to assemblies?
Our Police Station , Patwar Kahanay, Katchries are centres of corruption. Just imagine a single patwari dealing with raound one million people demand bribe fearlessly? Why people dont stand against him? If just one percent people of the area of patwari stand against him, peacefully, he will find no room anywhere. Same hold true for SHO, DSP, AC , MPA and MNA.
So the real epicenter of change is nowhere else but we ourselves. Our Arab brethren has set precedence by rendering sacrifices of thousands of innocent lives against the brutal, oppressive regimes. We need much less than them. We just need a peaceful uprising as that of Anna Hazare in India.We have a democratic govt-though corrupt , inefficient and incapable but still it cant withstand public pressure. We can turn the weakness of the rulers in to opportunity for the people.
That said, the call for change will remain delusion until we change ourselves.
