Sir: Imran Khan is fast learning the nitty-gritty of politics. But he is still lacking one of its critical ingredients — patience. As one of his somewhat disillusioned supporters, I wish he had realised the importance of that earlier. At the moment, he is already a winner in the eyes of the majority of people, but he is losing his image fast due to his use of intemperate language and his crazy efforts to become prime minister. If he stops now, strengthens his gains and waits for the next election, he will be a very strong candidate to achieve his much cherished dream of becoming the prime minister of Pakistan, otherwise he will lose it.
