From a green horn student of politics and economics to chancellor of Bradford University, from a world-cup winning captain of Pakistan cricket team to leading a fledgling political party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (Movement for Justice Party), the four-decade- old journey of Imran has been a saga of sacrifice, struggle and swash buckle. Yet, he remains an enigma to his political opponents.
Some call him the ‘Poppy Prince’ of General Zia-ul-Haq, others mince no words in rubbishing him as a bearer of Taleban’s anti-civilization legacy, a handsome Taliban apologist.
The hardliners, Islamist radicals in his own backyards, curse him for his adulterous, fornicating past. In stark contrast, the youth of modern Pakistan hail him as The Guevara. He doesn’t disappoint them in raging bull-like political rhetoric and firepower speeches. Imran Khan promises them ‘revolution’ never before seen on the soil of his nation. For hundreds of thousands of conscience keeper, he disappoints just as a fuddy-duddy would and they raise their fingers at his failure to keep Jemima Khan, ex-wife and mother of two sons, in matrimonial bliss. Who is Imran Khan? Beyond cricketing boundaries, is he the bringer of shining path to hapless Pakistani or a mere pretender to the throne, a philanderer who delighted in murdering poignant emotions of his lovesick flames, spread across continents?
He is still as much feared on political pitch as he had been in his cricketing heydays. Can he become the Prime Minister or President of Pakistan sometime in future?
The Untold story is a political account of Pakistan's most flamboyant figure, a proclaimed Casanova royal and the clairvoyant, pregnant with unobtrusive enquiries into hitherto unknown sides of Imran, the enigma.
