A
new political ideology being adopted predominantly by the youth of
Pakistan. Niaziism revolves around the belief of the infallibility of the
politician Imran Khan Niazi (chairperson of the political party
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf / PTI)
In essence, it is a populist cult of personality (similar to Trumpism), wherein any claim or statement
made by Imran Khan Niazi is automatically assumed to be absolutely true irrespective of any evidence to the contrary
In application, this has been shown to manifest as politically motivated witch-hunts of rival politicians, large-scale social media driven campaigns spreading fake news and smearing whomever is deemed to be an opponent of Imran Khan, including members within the PTI, the judiciary, the military, as well as other state institutions
The proponents and followers of Niazism are called youthia / youthias
Shabbir: Did you hear? Imran Khan was ousted from office
Aamir: Yaar, I know, it happened on America's orders. And America wants Imran Khan dead too! Imran Khan said so live in his jalsa!
Shabbir: Wait, so Imran Khan claimed it and you believe him?
Aamir: Of course! He's the most honest person I know. America is definitely trying to
kill him because he was against
slavery to America. And get this, our judges and generals are in on it too!
Shabbir: Yaar Aamir, I knew you were a
fan of Imran Khan, but Niaziism has really made you
crazy
