Tsunami Waves Reaching Shores (Karachi)

[Alias]

​

KARACHI: Former Pakistan Muslim League-Functional (PML-F) leader, Shabbir Jokhio, along with supporters from Memon Goth in Gadap Town, has crossed over to the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI).
At least a hundred of Jokhio’s supporters gathered at the PTI Sindh Secretariat on Thursday evening to hear their leader formally announce the fact that he was joining the party. The move came after several meetings with the PTI’s leadership in Sindh. Several leaders from the PTI spoke at the event, including Aslam Rajput, Subhan Ali Sahil, Zubair Khan and the party’s Sindh president, Naeemul Haque.
Former Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) member Rasheed Abbas from Bhains Colony, which falls in the PS-129 constituency, also announced that he is joining PTI along with his supporters. The PS-129 constituency is currently held by the PPP’s Haji Muzaffar Ali Shujra. It is one of the constituencies that the PTI expects to win in the next election. Getting Abbasi and Jokhio on board gives PTI an on-the-ground presence in Karachi that it has been lacking.
PTI leader Aslam Rajput addressed Jokhio’s supporters in Sindhi and criticised Sindh’s politicians and leaders for neglecting the province. Rajput also criticised the prime minister for allegedly remodelling the kitchen at the PM House for Rs26 million, though according to a report aired by a private television channel, it is the presidency at which the work is being carried out. “This money is Sindh’s money!” said Rajput. “We curse such a prime minister.” Haque said that money was being spent on housing for parliamentarians or the military’s expenses instead of the welfare of the people. He also criticised the federal and provincial governments for not helping flood victims and claimed that Imran Khan had visited the flood hit areas and contributed Rs20 million from an ‘Imran Khan Fund’.
Haque said that they had been very impressed with Jokhio’s work in organising support for the PML-F in Memon Goth. He added that PTI would ensure jobs for unemployed people in the country.
Jokhio said he was glad to join PTI and thanked the party’s central and provincial leadership. His supporters, which included a number of teenagers, said that they would attend the December 25 rally in Karachi.

[h=1]December 25 show: PTI unveils plans for media blitz as rally venue still up in the air[/h]KARACHI: “There won’t be a single area left without a PTI banner!” At least that’s the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf’s (PTI) plan for an advertising campaign blitz to promote its December 25 rally in Karachi which the party wants to hold at a ground near Mazar-e-Quaid. The rally will begin at 1 pm on Sunday, Christmas day, with Imran Khan and Shah Mehmood Qureshi as the big-ticket numbers.
According to the PTI Sindh chief, Naeemul Haque, thousands of PTI supporters from across Pakistan are expected to amass for the rally.
But where they will be seated is contingent on the Federal ministry of national heritage and integration. The ground near the Mazar-e-Quaid is controlled by the Quaid-e-Azam Trust which the ministry overlooks. Federal minister Samina Khalid Ghurki has told PTI that the issue will be decided by Wednesday. Haque said he had also spoken with the Sindh chief secretary, who has assured him the government will provide police officers and help with security if the ministry allows the party to use the land.
The PTI has also reached out to the federal government, since December 25 is not only Christmas but also the Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah’s birth anniversary, when hundreds of people, government officials and politicians visit the mausoleum. But the PTI is not inviting any politicians to its rally – though Haque said they are welcome to attend.

Sindh Home Minister Manzoor Wassan and Sindh Information Minister Shazia Marri have both said the provincial government has no objections to the PTI rally and that both security and assistance from the provincial government will be provided.
Wassan said that the government has given PTI the option of Nishtar Park while Marri added that they had urged the party to consider another venue as the workers of other parties will be paying their respects to Mohammad Ali Jinnah at the mausoleum on the same day and that could agitate the law and order situation in the area.
The party expects it will require 1,000 to 2,000 volunteers for security and 400 to control the traffic, and the PTI’s Karachi leadership will be handling these issues. Haque said the PTI has consulted security experts, who have advised them to do physical body checks instead of arranging for electronic gates, though given the large turnout the party expects, it will be looking into different options.
The PTI also dealt blows to two political parties on Tuesday, as the head of the Bilawal Bhutto Lovers Organisation, Irshad Hussain, and Zareen Syed, a cousin of Awami National Party (ANP) leader Shahi Syed, have announced that they are joining the Imran Khan-led party.

According to the PTI’s Ashraf Qureshi, “Irshad Hussain wanted to work for the late Benazir Bhutto’s mission and for Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari but once he saw that the Pakistan Peoples Party was not following Benazir’s mission he decided to join the PTI. Qureshi said that Ahmed Sohail of Pasban and the Sindh Democratic Alliance’s general secretary Shabbir have also joined the party.
While Zareen Syed is not an official member of the ANP, Qureshi said that a large number of ANP supporters have joined the PTI and they will accept any “clean” leaders from the party into its ranks as well. Qureshi said they are currently in talks with a considerable number of political leaders and one should expect similar announcements soon.
The numbers Haque threw out at a press conference on Tuesday evening provide a glimpse into how much groundwork is being done for the rally. Haque said 2,000 to 3,000 banners have already been put up in Karachi and another 8,000 will festoon its streets soon. Eighty billboards at major locations bear PTI advertisements and the party will advertise on 125 more. Two hundred thousand handbills have been distributed in the city.

The party also plans to arrange buses for 60,000 supporters. It will be placing 40,000 chairs at the venue, with separate seating for women and the media, and there will be floor mats for another 60,000 people. PTI volunteers will be giving out 50,000 flags. In the week prior to the rally, the PTI will be setting up 30 to 50 camps in the city and have mobile units out to promote the event.
In response to a question, Haque said that the rally was being funded by donations collected by the PTI in Pakistan and its chapters in the UK, US, UAE and Saudi Arabia.

PTI office shake-up looks certain


LAHORE – Major changes are likely in the party offices of the PTI with the joining of more political heavyweights this month, The Nation has learnt.
Insiders in PTI privy to the developments regarding the new party plans told this correspondent on Thursday that two major party offices of central secretary general and president Punjab could get new bosses with the expected inclusion of PML-Q (Like-Minded Group) leader Khursheed Mehmood Kasuri, Jehangir Tareen group including Ishaq Khakwani and Sikander Bosan this month.
They revealed that Khursheed Kasuri was most likely to join Imran Khan on December 20 in a public meeting in his constituency in Kasur, while the Tareen group expected to become part of the PTI on December 19 during a meeting with party chief in Islamabad.
They claimed that Legharis of Dera Ghazi Khan belong to the family of late president Sardar Farooq Leghari would also join the PTI with Jehangir Tareen during the mentioned meeting.
However, close circles of Legharis maintained that they haven’t decided yet to join Imran Khan but the top leadership of PTI has contacted them several times.
When asked whether the changes in party offices would be made immediately after the inclusion of the mentioned political figures, they informed that the changes might not take place very after the inclusion.
As the party leaders, they added were vying for bringing PML-Q central secretary general, Mushahid Hussain Syed into the PTI, the changes might not be made very after the joining of Kasuri and Tareen group, however in case of vague response from Mushahid the changes could be made quickly.
To another query about naming the likely candidates for the central secretary general and provincial president of Punjab, they said that no name has been narrowed down for these positions, however, quoting the close aides of party chief as saying that changes on the mentioned positions would be made keeping in view the political expertise and influence of the candidates for the positions at the national as well as provincial level.
Informing about further details for conferring party offices to political bigwigs joining the PTI, they revealed that more party offices could be created to accommodate the heavyweights, as this was a necessity of the practical politics.
Asked about why the mentioned party offices would need a change, they claimed that the current party leaders holding these offices were not up to the mark against the growing challenges for the party after the mammoth gathering at Lahore on October 30.
About the status of contacts with dissident PML-Q member, Marvi Memon, they claimed that party leadership would welcome her in the party without any condition. PTI insiders also informed that there were strong possibilities that Khawajas of Dera Ghazi Khan would join the PTI early next year.
They maintained that Omar Sarfaraz Cheema, who has been removed from the office of central secretary information this week, would soon be given a task at party’s central office.
Ijaz Chaudhary, PTI’s central leader when contacted neither denying nor confirming the information of this scribe said that changes in the party offices was a routine matter in every political party. He added that several important political figures have already joined the PTI and many more would be coming very soon.

So if establishment supports MQM, its because they are honest. If Estb. supports any one else they are chamchas?
Great logic.

Any democtratic leader only believes in the power of the people. The day Imran Khan says something like this I will dump him like a bad habbit but I know he would never. He had the chance to become the PM of Pakistan and he refused, he refused elections under Musharaf, he is still refusing to be a part of a "technocratic Govt."

Imran is becoming a democratic champion. Instead for asking for support like Bhai jaan from London, he said Kiyani and Pasha will work under me.

See the difference in vision. His only source of power is people that is why he will only work for people of Pakistan.

PTI is the only party where you get an instant party position as soon as you join. Even PPP and PML-N dont have it this bad.

Sharam to magar ati nahi PTI kay supporters ko.
