backstory


he was born into an upper class family


school he studied at Oxford University


in England but it was his cricketing


career that made him into a superstar


foreign


only World Cup victory and then retired


from the sport it is easily the greatest


Pakistani cricketer of all time a very


glamorous cricketer too that glamor of


course brought him to the attention of


of high society in London in the early


90s he was hanging out with rock stars


and royalty and married a British


Aristocrat but he was also getting into


charity work and raised money to open a


cancer hospital in Lahore in memory of


his late mother here's a cricketer a


public icon trying to provide free


Cancer Care in a country where this was

not accessible for most people and that


then translated into


a conversation he had about the role of


corruption improving governance and as


it and then his entry into politics in

Khan’s political beginnings


1996 Imran Khan launched his own


political party Pakistan which means


movement for justice he styled himself


as an outsider on an anti-corruption


Mission but his political career didn't


really take off until 2011. that's when


he held two rallies in Lahore and


Karachi tens of thousands of people


showed up he was promising to bring a


new kind of politics to Pakistan and


seven years later that message helped


him get elected as prime minister

parties and two and two families the


Bhutto family which is linked to the PPP


and the Sharif family linked to the pmln

minister Shabazz Sharif for years the


two sides have been alternating in power


a pattern that Han was determined to


break to demolish what he called uh the


grip of dynastic politics in Pakistan

who do not see the Old Guard as being


representative of their Ambitions and


aspirations he's also popular among


middle and upper middle and Elite
