Revolution is of course such a thing that every member of the society gets effected and everything is comes under the demerits of revolution. Revolution doesn't come so easy what Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and Imran Khan says about. This is a political change. People struggle vote for PTI to give them a chance to govern Pakistan to see that "Can they give the real freedom and education to the nation?"
A revolution means "a turn around". It is a fundamental change in power or organizational structures that takes place in a relatively short period of time. Revolution is caused major change in culture, economy and social political institutions. Aristotle described two types of political revolution: "Complete change from one constitution to another OR Modification of an existing constitution."
Jeff Goodwin say defining revolution, "Any and all instances in which a state or a political regime is overthrown and thereby transformed by a popular movement in an irregular, extra-constitutional and/or violent fashion" which is what called a "broad revolution". And "Revolutions entail not only mass mobilization and regime change, but also more or less rapid and fundamental social, economic and/or cultural change, during or soon after the struggle for state power." which is what called a "narrow revolution".
Jack Goldstone defines as "An effort to transform the political institutions and the justifications for political authority in society, accompanied by formal or informal mass mobilization and non-institutionalized actions that undermine authorities."

We know, as mentioned in the above definitions by experts, ''revolution'' means ''change in constitution''. It also means modification of existing constitution. But it is not the real and exact revolution what today Imran Khan and its party call it. They have to do a lot of things more and go on the many ways to reach the goal what they want to reach. Still they did only 10% of their mission, ''A new Pakistan". But truly it a political change made possible only by Imran Khan.
According to the concept of "The Right of Revolution" or "The duty of revolution" it is the right or duty, variously stated throughout history, of the people of a nation to overthrow a government that acts against their common interests. Of course PPP government and our institutions today act against the all interests of Pakistani people. That is why Imran Khan and his followers are getting unexpected attention and support from everywhere as well as rest of the world.
Today we see that not only politicians and common people join Imran Khan's mission but government employees from different institutions also support and join the mission and ideology of a "New Pakistan". That is all what in a revolution we know. But in fact this is just a political change as same as Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto (Shaheed) had brought through public support and vote.
