Why the story is not yet over for PTI
2015-07-25
[DAWN] After the PTI failed to score a landslide victory in the 2013 polls, it somehow got into its leadership's head that it was robbed of its rightful mandate. No amount of explaining would allay the PTI's reservations, and when words were not enough, a protest movement was launched to dislodge the current political setup.

The movement, too, did not yield a favourable result, but Imran Khan
... aka Taliban Khan, who ain't the sharpest bulb on the national tree...
just would not let go of the issue. His party was adamant that they had documentary evidence to support his allegations. The PTI was also insistent that the evidence would only be presented to a judicial commission, since it could trust no other state institution with such sensitive information.

But now, as the realisation from the verdict sets in, it will become painfully apparent to PTI's supporters, young and old, that there wasn't any truth to most of the allegations thrown around at the sit-in.

Javed Hashmi is right in that the verdict has cast dark clouds over Imran Khan's political future, but in some ways, this verdict might just be the best thing that has happened to PTI since 2013.
