DRONE ATTACK ON PTI ...!!!

Fauzia Kasuri, a former leader of the Pakistan Tehreek e Insaf (PTI) women wing and also a prominent member of PTI declared her departure from (PTI) on Wednesday. Fauzia, being a senior and a long standing supporter of Pakistan Tehreek e Insaf and as said by her that, she was also the founding member of PTI who worked with Imran Khan in assisting him in raising funds for Shaukat KhanumMemorial Hospital for 22 years. She has worked with the party for 18 years.

Fauzia Kasuri

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 with Fauzia Kasuri

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.

Looking forward for Mr.Khattak:

Some unique instances associated with Khattak, are making the people of KP as well as in all over Pakistan to expect a bright future in his chieftainship. Such as he was once offered Rs 5 crore from a certain party but he refused to accept them and continued the consistency in his aims to never change his interests for personal gains. Pervaiz Khattak says that he is ready to reintegrate the people of KP and give requisite respect so to understand the issues of prevailing terrorism. He is of the mission to work with Nawaz Sharif and strive to eliminate terrorism from the country.

MQM - A Revival

Okay, so we hear Altaf Hussain, founder of Muttahida Qaumi Movement  (aka MQM), announce Operation Cleanup against the black sheep present in his political party.

Altaf Hussain, residing presently in London, leads MQM, a Pakistani political party, its roots being the strongest in Karachi.

After the 11th May National Elections in Pakistan, MQM was blamed for rigging and cheating by Imran Khan's  Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf's leader, Arif Alvi, in NA-250. Protests were held in this regard too by the PTI supporters in Karachi. Both MQM and PTI leaders held press conferences claiming the other side to be guilty. After that, Altaf Hussain used harsh words against PTI in a live telephonic conference from London.

After much havoc created by both sides, MQM founder Altaf Hussain warned all members of the party against serious actions to be taken against anyone found involved in illegal activities. He then dissolved the Raabta Committee, saying that it's now time to clean MQM of all corrupt entities.

Yesterday, he has announced a new Raabta Committee, in which Haider Abbas Rizvi, Aamir Khan, Nasreen Jaleel, Dr. Sagheer Ahmad, Kanwar Naveed, Waasay Jaleel, Mustafa Azizabadi, Yousuf Shahwani and some others are included. Saleem Shehzad, Raza Haroon and Asif Siddiqui, who were the members of the old Raabta Committee, are not included this time. Further, Anees Ahmad Advocate is restricted to get involved in any political activities due to serious indiscipline from his side. Memberships of some MQM'ers have also been cancelled.

Furthermore, Altaf Hussain has dissuaded all his followers to take care of their personal reputation as well as of their political party, alarming them that serious steps will be taken whenever needed against such members.

Hope that this recent revival does improve the image of MQM, who's a major stakeholder in the political grounds of Karachi.
