The Lahore jalsa on October 30 was a huge success for the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf. A crowd of nearly 100,000 gathered to hear Imran Khan and since then the party has enjoyed both growing momentum and growing membership (new members include Shah Mehmood Qureshi, formerly of PPP, and Javed Hashmi, formerly of PML-N). After years of being the underdog, PTI is now finally in the limelight.

But on the eve of the Karachi jalsa, the question on everyone’s minds is will Imran Khan once again stir crowds the way he did in Lahore? Will the people of Karachi greet PTI with open arms? One thing for certain though is that both PTI and Imran Khan have come a long way since 1996 when the party was first founded. For retrospection,  Newsline has assembled a photo gallery of Imran Khan from its exclusive archives along with recent quotes by him which reveal his thoughts on Pakistan’s political landscape and the country’s future.
