Ms Fauzia has given her resignation on the basis of the
differences that she had over the National Assembly seats. According to her,
Pakistan Tehreek e Insaf has not done justice (Insaf) with
her and it’s not the party who gave equal rights. She added that some mafia and
crooked politicians inside the party have caused internal disagreements,
though Mr. Khan’s courage and hope to work for a change in country. Fauzia with
heavy heart announced the decision of quitting her party in front of the media
representatives while addressing a press conference. She says that it’s not
simply becoming an MNA that has disgruntled everything but the absence of
sincerity among the party members that matters. To become eligible for the seat
of National Assembly, she also sacrificed her US nationality. But her sacrifice
went in vain when the party gave priority to other women namely Dr.Shireen Mazari,
Munaza Hasan etc. Ms Fauzia has further criticised the party’s election
commissioner Hamid Khan for not allowing her to contest the party elections.
All the allegations that Ms Fauzia directed towards PTI have
recently been addressed and here comes a new update from Pakistan Tehreek i
Insaf; “the factual Clarification”.
The spokesman of PTI yesterday clarified some points, saying
that
·
Ms Kasuri was first of all
criticised on playing double with another party while at the same time being at
work with PTI.
·
It was cleared that she was
not the founding member of PTI in fact other senior members like Naeemul Haque,
Hafeez Khan were.
·
She was disqualified from
party elections on the basis of her late give up of the US nationality at the
time of elections.
·
According to the party
spokesman, she was at number 4 in National Assembly seats, which she accepted
as well, so her saying of unfair reservation of seats in NA becomes a question
mark.

Imran Khan as
well as his sister Aleema Khan persuaded her to stay in the party but it was
then revealed that Ms Fauzia Kasuri had already started meetings with the women
of Sharif Family because Ms Kulsoom Nawaz Sharif had earlier made this offer to
join PML-N.
Amid all this, a historic move
was also taken by the youngest MNA Ayesha, to sacrifice her seat for Ms.Kasuri,
to stop her from leaving the party.
Now, it was merely a dispute on a seat or a serious
allegation that was being directed at the party’s authorities or vice versa,
remains a question that will eventually be truthfully answered by time shortly.
