Justice Katju defends his critique of Imran Khan, despite backlash from supporters. Initially praising Khan for challenging Pakistan’s military establishment, Katju points out Khan’s compromises with corrupt politicians, religious extremists, and the army for political gain. He criticizes Khan’s dictatorial tendencies, economic mismanagement, and regressive social views, like endorsing gender discrimination and cultural excuses for crime. Katju argues that Khan, while personally honest, lacks solutions for Pakistan’s core issues: poverty, unemployment, healthcare, and education. He likens the public’s adoration for Khan to children following the Pied Piper, suggesting a blind following without critical evaluation.

Why I prefer Imran Khan to Nawaz Sharif
In reply, I would like to say that Imran Khan has not criticised India but its Prime Minister Modi, whose politics consists of inciting and spreading hatred against Indian Muslims, a policy which has resulted in lynching of Indian Muslims, beating them brutally for not saying Jai Shri Ram, bulldozing their houses, and arresting and jailing scores of innocent Muslims for long periods ( e.g. Umar Khalid ). What is wrong in such criticism ? All right minded persons in India and Pakistan should do the same.
Imran Khan is the bravest leader of the Indian subcontinent
I do not know Imran Khan and have never met him. I am not his friend, relative, or belonging to his caste or creed, and I do not expect anything from him.
Yet I have been supporting him as I regard him as basically honest, and I support all honest persons, whether Indian, Pakistani, British, American or of any country.
