Islamabad, Sep 18 (TIWN): Five months ago, with the tacit approval of the army, nearly all Opposition parties in Pakistan had unseated Prime Minister Imran Khan through a no-confidence motion in parliament. But many of them did not bargain for the political tsunami by the playboy - cricketer - turned politician when the country is in the grip of a natural calamity induced partly by climate change and partly by 75-years of bad governance.

The deposed prime minister is today like a man watching fire engulf his neighbourhood without thinking about the possibility of the fire reaching his own abode. There is as much a chance of Imran's resurrection as Prime Minsiter as the chances of an end to his political career.  Imran Khan has been consistently demanding early national polls which he believes can put him back in the power saddle.  Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif right now is the most unpopular leader in the country because of the tough measures he has taken to arrest the economic slide that had started under Imran.
