What goes around, comes around in a big way. And that is exactly what has befallen PTI chief and former Prime Minister Imran Khan, who has been disqualified by the Election Commission of Pakistan for selling the Toshakana gifts which are the state's wealth and jurisdiction. 

For years, Imran Khan has been wreaking havoc with our social norms and ethics by loudly calling his political counterparts and opponents as 'thieves' and corrupt persons, using abusive language and hurling curses, calling them by bad names.  

Continuously spitting venom about his political opponents has been his main motto but what he failed to understand is that the culture of abuse and disregard and humiliation which he has introduced in the political arena will one come in a big way as this is universal truth that what goes around, comes around in a big way. 

So, Imran Khan himself is responsible for his current disqualification saga. As a matter of fact, it none other than Imran Khan who introduced and initiated politics of allegations but what about himself now that proven a thief resulting in disqualification from politics. Not only this, he is answerable and accountable before the ECP for wrongly declaring his assets from 2018 onward filled returns he submitted in ECP. 

As a matter of fact, selling gifts from Tosha Khana is something which cannot be ignored especially in case of a person who claims to be an upright man while at the same time levelling allegations of corruption against others. In fact, it is the working of 'karma' that the IK who used to call other corrupt and thieves has been declared as a liar. It is very unfortunate that former PM and PTI chief Imran Khan has also transferred his toxic and ill-mentality to his supporters as well which can be gauged from their repeated acts of heckling and sloganeering of opponents not only in Pakistan but also abroad.  

The recent incident of heckling of Govt functionaries abroad is a case in point. Yes, his partymen heckled and harassed the Federal Information Minister Maryam Aurangzeb in London coffee shop few weeks back.  

Every now and then we come across incident when the PTI hooligans are on the rampage.  Recently, they did so in UK and their target was a lone women leader Maryam Aurangzeb, at a coffee shop, where she had nothing to do with politics as she was there to relax and take a cup of coffee. There is something seriously wrong with the PTI chief and its main leadership mindset and the irony is that they are passing this poisonous and hateful mindset to the supporters as well, who go berserk on many an occasion and start behaving like hooligans, having no respect for rule of the law, ethics or any other social norm or consideration.

What happened with Maryam Aurangzeb at a coffee shop in London is deplorable by all standards in every civilized society. No sensible person can justify it by any means.   TO be very specific, no one has the right to call others by bad names, level others as thieves or harass and heckle someone in a way that PTI supporters did in London with no sense of regret at all. What the IK and his supporters fail to understand is what they are sowing today will be reap by them tomorrow. It is law of the universe that 'what goes around comes around' in a big way.  

Question crop into mind as to whether Imran Khan or his party men and women are ready to face a similar disgusting and shameful situation at the hand of political opponents at home or abroad. Surely not, then why this hateful and toxic environment being introduced and promoted by the PTI leaders among its supporters. Earlier, the entire nation was dumb found when the PTI workers were on the rampage  in Saudi Arabia last Ramazan. 

The PTI supporters did now show any sanctity for the vicinity of the holy mosque and were openly changing abusing slogans about Pakistani leaders. The purpose to say is that IK and his supporters did not spare the holy place for the purpose of dirty politics.

That the act occurred during the last Ashara of Ramazan makes it even more deplorable during the month of Ramazan, Muslims avoid each and everything that is deplorable. This deplorable act was widely condemned by our religious scholars of different schools of thoughts and the civil society at large. 

Time has come to reflect on our acts which are damaging our county's image as also our social fabrics, gnawing at the very roots of our society. Such deplorable acts are also damaging our country's image at abroad, where a large number of Pakistani are based around the world. To be very specific, the IK's mindful language has been having a negative impact on our youth, who may turn violent, taking law into their hands at will which will damage our social structure which is already crumbling to a galore of social ills. 

The way IK has loosened his brigade of polluted and sick mentality in the society show that he has no respect for the ethics, and have no sense of respect for either women or anyone who is not a part of PTI. 

This mindset will gnaw at the root of our society and will also befall the PTI leaders and supporters as well. The purpose to say is that Imran Khan himself is responsible for what has befallen to him and with the passage of time, he going to reap what has sown in real sense of the world. What you sow, so shall you reap. As simple as that.
