What’s happening in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa doesn’t feel like routine politics; it feels like a hinge in history.

We love to measure achievement in big, shiny milestones, such as missile ranges, hospitals, and trophies. But the real test of greatness is whether it outlives the person who sparked it. That’s why I’ve always believed Dr. Abdul Qadeer Khan’s greatest achievement wasn’t simply building nuclear capability or making our defenses formidable.

His real triumph was building an ecosystem, thousands of scientists, engineers, and technologists, able to carry the mission forward without him. He didn’t just deliver a program; he created a living engine of innovation that keeps humming when the founder steps out of the room.

Imran Khan’s legacy makes sense through that same lens. Yes, he lifted the World Cup in ’92. Yes, he built cancer hospitals that treat people for free, and launched a university so kids without privilege could still dream in high definition. Yes, he formed a party and reached the Prime Minister’s office. Those achievements matter.
