The final results of the Pakistan parliamentary elections haven’t been announced yet, but there’s no doubt who the man of the match is. Imran Khan, whose party Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) has won almost double the seats of the next largest party in the national assembly, gave his victory speech on Thursday. Unlike his speech after winning the World Cup in 1992, which was widely criticised for being largely about himself, this one was a more statesmanlike affair in which he underlined the need for improved ties between Pakistan and India and promised to respond positively to any initiative from India.
