Does this affect PTI anti-establishment narrative or not.They have taken pro-establishment politicians like ijaz ul haq and pervez elahi into their party.

Don't believe in judging someone due to misdeeds of his parents or ancestors. We all know what sort of a person his late dad was (not calling Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto some saint or revolutionary either) . But here's something interesting that I came across earlier this year. Late Zia-ul-Haq is known to have been a rigid Salafist but Ijaz-ul-Haq doesn't seem to be that much influenced by religious or sectarian bigotry . Just to let the record straight ,I am pretty skeptical towards traditional Sufism (Mysticism) myself . Look at interesting responses as well.

IMO, your categorizing Gen. Zia as "Salfi" is posteriors and hollow in the context of Pakistan ( and India). Such labels fit only in some parts of the Arab intellectual and political landscape but generally are convenient labels assigned by the western lazy thinktanks.
Sometimes Pakistani groups also tolerate such labels for convenience or benefits or for political alignment with arab anti-imperialist groups, but pak (or non Arab) religious landscapes is ingrained in traditionalism, and then improvised by the thought of Shah wali ullah, Iqbal and Imam Shamil (naqshbandis sufis) and some others, and none of them is Salfi. taliban are not Salfi nor Jamaat Islami (while molana Modudi was a devbandi but Prof. Ghafoor was a brailvi.)
