For sure, there is a twist in the tale. While the suspense that is building up may not be Hitchcockian in its impact, some exciting developments are emerging on the horizon. There is this sense of Pakistan’s politics moving into the realm of high drama where two leading characters are engaged in a contest of almost mythical proportions.
Yes, I do feel particularly attracted by the human aspect of what is more or less a crisis within the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI). Essentially, it is Imran Khan versus Jahangir Khan Tareen. And the story of how two close friends who worked together to win the struggle for power can become adversaries has classical dimensions.
