Oct 6, 2021: The premiere of Salman Ahmad’s film “Spiritual Democracy” about the prime minister was held at Sindh Governor House on PM Imran’s 69th birthday.
Episode One of a new film on Prime Minister Imran Khan titled Spiritual Democracy premiered on Tuesday at the Governor House in Sindh, which was also the Prime Minister’s 69th birthday.
Salman Ahmed of the ‘Junoon’ music band, which made the film, said that the film was the result of his being covid19 positive and witnessing how close he came to death in New York in early 2020. He prayed that if he survived, he would do something positive.
The legendary sufi pop musician said, “And I was named Covid-19 ambassador for South Asia soon after. Working in that capacity, I saw how the Pakistan government fought the pandemic by helping the poor through its various programmes, it is all because of our having a leader with vision. So I asked the prime minister to grant me an interview after seeing our country’s great fightback. It turned out to be an in-depth interview that had to be broken into four parts or episodes.”
The first installement of the production takes viewers down memory lane including clips of the PM on hunting trips, playing cricket, lifting the 1992 World Cup and speaking during the 2014 Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) sit-in.
In his interview, PM Imran Khan explained the meaning of the term ‘spiritual democracy’. “Being human is spiritual. And where democracy is in the interest of the people, it is spiritual democracy. He also explained how, while building a cancer hospital, he would think of a welfare state in which the nation cares.
The film also documents the various so called “u-turns”, the film shows how before entering politics, he denied that he would ever enter the political arena and also how he was not interested in getting married.
Fast forward to more than 30 years when he is Prime Minister and married three times, he says with a smile that human beings evolve and he was no exception.
After the screening, Governor Imran Ismail recalled how he first met PM Imran Khan in 1993.
