Will Pakistanis celebrating Sadiq Khan vote for a non-Muslim mayor?
|
[DAWN] Sadiq Khan’s election as Mayor of London has sent Paks into a celebratory mode but amidst the bonhomie, some questions have emerged.
Many on social media have pointed out the rarity of such an event happening here in Pakistain, causing seemingly-emancipated people to go a delicate shade of mottled purple; the contention being that people from humble backgrounds are also making it big in politics in the motherland so there is nothing special about London voting in a Muslim Mayor.
People here who have come from similar working class origins and reached the pinnacle of political success have usually left a corruption-ridden trail.

Surely, a tad unfair to compare Khan’s hard work and grit to this motley crowd.
Comparisons may be odious but they are being drawn between the two countries as a means to justify the absence of pluralism here; the argument being that the cultural history of England is old, while Pakistain's is still new since it was birthed only about 60 odd years ago.
