Still critical of the PML-N, PTI softens its stance a little towards MQM

[karachi]

KARACHI: The central president of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, Javed Hashmi, claims that it was on his persuasion that the party chief, Imran Khan, softened his approach towards the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM).
Imran Khan, who is a fierce opponent of the MQM, has repeatedly ruled out any possibility of even negotiating with the party. But Hashmi said, “I told him that if they are democratically elected they cannot be shunned. If the party wants, they can win voters in the city by delivering.”
Hashmi said that while the PTI had its differences with the MQM over policies, he himself had cordial relations with the party. Members of the PTI say that Hashmi is the cool-headed adviser for its emotional party chief on the party’s internal matters and its policies.
Hashmi’s visit is actually a materialisation of the PTI’s plans for entering into the fray of Sindh’s politics, where it still does not enjoy the popularity like in Punjab and Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa. His itinerary includes meetings with party members and lawyers, and small rallies in Malir and Hyderabad. Throughout the press conference, Hashmi’s kept throwing jibes at Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N), but surprisingly used a less hostile tone for Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) and the MQM. He was also vague about revealing who might PTI make a political alliance with.
Hashmi said that even though the PTI was criticised for having a peripheral policy but ending corruption was just how the economy can be improved. “Our party is democratic within its own structure which no other party has done before.” Talking about new provinces, he declared that PTI was in favour of establishing new provinces. But he said that there was no law in the country’s constitution for making them and the assurances being given to the people are baseless. About his party’s opposition to the Mohajir Suba, however, he said that the country can only be divided on administrative lines and not ethnic.
Mir Mazhar Ali Magsi, the former additional secretary and vice president of the Sindh chapter of PML-N, and Nawabzada Mir Atiqulaah Talpur also officially joined PTI on Tuesday. While Atiqulaah Talpur, the son of Mir Lutfullah Talpur is making his debut in politics, Magsi has been in the field for a good 20 years

Joker is well-know for his cutting jokes so I do not take him at his words.
Javed Hashmi is a great politician of Punjab and rather the whole Pakistan.
In Sindh,PTI is number 2 party; it is a great success for PTI. PTI will make
more strides in Sindh with the passage of time.Geo Imran Khan!

Its called munafiqat. Well done munfiq khan.
Where are your claims, your hatred towards MQM, your cases?
If PML N is munafiq you are head of the munafiqs.

Offcourse Hashmi would be more Anti PMLN , Just like SMQ is more Anti-PPPP , When Imran gives a statement that we are ready to have an alliance with MQM then come you have a right to criticize.

Every one knows the real battle is Punjab both against PPPP in South-Punjab and PMLN on GT Road, PTI has already shown they have a reasonable following in Karachi Jalsa so if they do seat adjustment with JI they can give tough time to MQM in this election as well, but once again repeating the real battle is punjab who ever wins punjab wins the race

Understanding (Punjabi) atiitudes towards MQM

Brother I think you have got the attitudes and policy towards MQM wrong. PTI has done many about faces and policy changes towards all Mohajirs and Pervez Musharraf but Javed Hashmi's current press conference is not one of them. You see Javed Hashmi is from Multan which is a relatively less prejudiced and more humane place in Punjab. But the PTI (and PML-N) leadership is from north Punjab and have a heinous record of war-crimes and discrimination against Mohajirs. A few examples are Imran Khan's victimization of players from Karachi in the cricket team and Nawaz Sharif's repeated operations from 1992 until Pervez Musharraf kicked him out in 1999. Even when PTI Punjabis like 'barca' and 'mohsan' post here on this page they keep drooling at the prospect of another 'operation' against us tax-paying Karachiites. This shows how prejudiced they are against Mohajirs. And compared to that kind of racism, a few soft words from a principled politician from Multan about MQM are no big deal...I hope you follow.

Imran Khan has nothing to say anything about MQM. MQM has not invlove in any corruption in 27 years. MQM has proved in Karachi , No can politically defeat MQM. Imran Khan knows it very wele.

Imran Khan is better than all the corrupt leaders in Pakistan.Imran Khan is the only
leader who has no charges of corruption.Why? Because he had never been the part of
any govt.Corruption has only been done by the ruling parties.PPP and PML(N) are the
biggest corrupt parties and hence they have greater share in the corruption done in
Pakistan.Geo Imran Khan! Geo Pakistan! Geo PTI!
