PTI Abbottabad Elections--Sher Bahadur Khan elected as District Organizer

 PTI Abbottabad is facing an internal rift and division for long time and despite some serious efforts by PTI center, differences continued to grow and because of this lack of unity among PTI local leadership of district Abbottabad, PTI failed to emerge as a major political force in the region and couldn't even cash properly on the issue of Soba Hazara. However, a recent development in PTI Abbottabad is quite satisfying and giving hope to the workers and well wishers of PTI. This development is--Elections held in PTI central secretariat Islamabad for PTI district Abbottabad Organizer position.

Both factions of PTI from Abbottabad contested in the elections held under the supervision of Col. (R) Aman Ullah Khan and Sardar Azhar Tariq. Malik Mohabat Khan was candidate from Asif Zubair Sheikh group while Sher Bahadur Khan was a candidate from the other group. 14 out of 15 PCOs cast their vote in the election and  Sher Bahadur Khan was announced as winner who grabbed 8 votes while Mohabat Khan got 6 votes. The good news for PTI supporters is that both the leaders pledged to work together with mutual understanding and with unity as Mohabbat Khan congratulated Sher Bahadur Khan on his victory.

It's expected that now tension between groups of PTI in Abbottabad will diffuse and they will work with full dedication and sincerity for the party and will strengthen and organize party at every level in the district.

PTI Position in Hazara Division--Abbottabad, Haripur, Mansehra

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf is getting popular in all parts of the country and in past few months, party has managed to get some notables in its circle and dozens of electables from various parties have joined PTI, showing confidence in the leadership of Imran Khan. Hazara--which is considered as a stronghold of PML-N is also not an exception but internal rift in the party local leaders have badly damaged the image of PTI in Hazara and party failed to stand as prominent as other parties are in the region.

In District Abbottabad, Sardar Mehtab Ahmad Khan is the most influential political leader belonging to PML-N who also remained Chief minister of NWFP in past. PML-N got a clear damage to it's popularity on the issue of NWFP renaming to Khyber Pakhtunkhwah and there were division wide protests against PML-N on this issue which gave a room to other parties to emerge and strengthen roots in the region. However, PTI couldn't cash the issue properly and it was PML-Q under the leadership of Aman Ullah Khan Jadoon, Sardar Yousuf and Baba Haider Zaman (who later made his own party) who cashed on this issued and got some political energy through this issue. PTI in district Abbottabad is yet to be organized, it's divided clearly in two factions-- one led by Asif Zubair Shaikh while other led by Sardar Sher Bahadur Khan. The two groups are showing utmost rivalry to each other as if they are representing some different parties with completely different  agendas. Every day, one can read their agressive statements against each others in local newspapers of Abbottabad like Daily Shamal and Daily Muhasib. Those who consider Imran Khan as the last hope and are following his footsteps are really concerned and depressed over this situation. Unfortuantely, center has failed to tackle this issue proerply and at a time when elections are just a year (or may be less) time ahead, PTI has failed to get united in district Abbottabad where they are supposed to fight against big big political giants like Sardar Mehtab Ahmad Khan, Sardar Shamoon Yar Khan, Aman Ullah Khan Jadoon, Sardar Yaqoob, Sardar Idrees, Barrister Javed Abbasi, Dr Azhar Jadoon etc. 

In Mansehra, some notable political figures like Syed Munir Shah Tirmizi and his group joined PTI which gave a hope to PTI supporters that unlike previous bi-elections where Niaz Khan Sarkheli of PTI lost badly, now PTI will become stronger, situation remains depressing due to rift between various political leaders of PTI in district Mansehra. Niaz Khan Sarkheli has been appointed district organizer of PTI but many key political personalities of PTI from district Mansehra aren't ready to accept him as Organizer. If situation remains same, it will clearly damage the image of PTI in district Mansehra and it will benefit Sardar Yousuf of PML-Q, Azam Swati and Laiq Muhammad of JUI and also to PML-N in the district. 

Unfortunately PTI is not united in district Haripur as well.  There are two groups within PTI Haripur. Farooq Shah who is leading one group is dreaming to get PTI ticket and he is working on his own while other group led by Kamal Ghaznavi is working separately and he is also looking for a ticket from PTI. Each group claims to be the genuine political force and claims to have support of center. However, workers of PTI in Haripur are also confused as to whom they should support to strengthen the hands of Imran Khan.

It's need of the time that all those who are sincere to the cause of Imran Khan and are serious and honest with PTI should come out of the politics of tickets and should work in a united way to come in a position to fight with political giants of the region. Hazara is not an easy battlefield and if PTI fails to exist as one unit, it will perish in the region and people of Hazara will fall again in the hands of political looters of PML-N, PML-Q and other tested figures. 

Why Should I Vote for PTI--Imran Khan?

Imran Khan's PTI is gradually becoming more and more popular among masses in parts of the country especially in Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwah and not only common people but also notables are joining PTI. PTI's dharna's (sit-in) against drone attacks and then his Jalsas and rallies as "Hakomat Hatao, Mulk Bachao" were heavily participated by the public. Imran Khan's Pakistan Tehreek e Insaf considers it as the third option in the country and claim to be a symbol of change to bring a peaceful revolution in the country. People often ask a question that why should we vote for Imran Khan? Why we should Join PTI? How PTI is different from other parties? Here are the answers from a PTI worker for all these questions:

PTI is the only untested party in the current political sitemap of Pakistan and Imran Khan is the only political leader who has no allegations of corruption and even his opponents accept his credibility and his great philanthropist work. Imran Khan is the leader who has served this nation even before coming into power and instead of hollow slogans, Imran Khan gave the gift of Shokat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital and NAMAL College to this nation. Another big reason that you should vote for PTI in coming election is the evidence from Wikileaks that Imran Khan is the only politician of Pakistan who speaks eye to eye with America and hasn't shown a dual face. One of the biggest motivation for people of Pakistan to vote for Imran Khan is his principle and consistent stand on War on Terror. What Imran Khan said about 10 years back is now accepted internationally and even the superpower power America is of the view that talks are the only way to deal with Taliban and militants. This was exactly what Imran Khan kept on saying for more than 10 years. Another big reason to vote for Imran Khan is his commitment to root out corruption and bring a just system where all people get their rights and where powerful elite has to pay taxes and this tax money has to be used for betterment of the masses. Imran Khan has categorically said that he will NAB all those political mafias who haven't declared their assets and whose assets are out of the country. If he manages to deal with the corruption, half of the problems of the country can be solved by this only.

Now the question that why should I Join PTI should be easy to understand by you given you have read all above. This is duty of every patriotic Pakistani to support Imran Khan for his noble cause of bringing a systematic change in Pakistan, to save Pakistan from looters and corrupt hypocrite politicians and to bring Pakistan a real Pakistan as per the dreams of Jinah and Iqbal. Every Pakistani should join this noble cause and should work under the brave and honest leadership of Imran Khan so that Pakistan gets a brave leadership, makes it's policies within the country and doesn't take dictation from USA and gets rid of IMF and other international loans. 

How PTI is different from other parties? First thing is that Imran Khan has declared all his assets, he earned money outside but brought it back to Pakistan and so now he is supposed to live and die with Pakistan. Secondly, PTI is not a status quo party and hasn't begged for any support from bureaucracy or military establishment and is based solely on public support. That's the biggest reason that Imran Khan denied Prime ministership offer from General Musharraf as Imran Khan wants change of system and not just a change of faces. 

So based on all arguments, it's high time for people of Pakistan to wake up and join hands with Imran khan to change Pakistan's fate and to bring a new system in Pakistan where justice prevails everywhere and no one is above the law. 

Latest News Updates of Tehreek e Soba Hazara

Tehreek-e-Sooba Hazara has lost it's momentum and now after a split in the leadership of Sooba Hazara movement after which two factions have been formed in tehreek, people of Hazara are now disappointed from the immature political moves of Tehreek-e-Soba Hazara movement and hopes of formation of new province for people of Hazara have gone very low.

After the split in Soba Hazara movement, PML-N has started criticizing PML-Q local leadership stating that they were just trying to score political points on the name of Soba Hazara movmenet and after getting ministership in the center with an alliance with PPP, now they have forgotten the cause and are enjoying the governance. Sardar Mushtaq who is PML-N leader from Haripur stated that PML-N will form Soba Hazara after coming into power:

 After joining of some key political figures from Attock, Lahore, Sheikhupura, Chitral and various other parts of the country, today some more notable people joined PTI which shows a constantly growing popularity of PTI in the country. Those who joined PTI today include a strong rival of chief minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwah Brigadier (Retired) Ismael Khan of Mardan and Ahmad Habib Khan Kundi from Dera Ismael Khan. 

Hundreds of supporters of the two politicians also joined PTI. Brigadier (R) Ismael Khan and Habib Khan Kundi announced to join PTI in a press conference headed by PTI chairman Imran Khan in PTI central secretariat in Islamabad. Brigadier (R) Ismael Khan belongs to PF-23 (now PKP-23) Mardan and his joining in PTI will further strengthen PTI in Mardan and will give tough time to Ameer Haider Hoti who is current chief minister of KPK and a key leader of ANP.

Ahmad Habib Khan Kundi who also joined PTI today belongs to a renowned political family of D.I.Khan and is son of Ex-Provincial Minister Habib Khan Kundi. After joining of Ahmad Habib Khan Kundi in PTI, PTI now emerges strongly on the political map of D.I.Khan as well.

Latest Updates About Soba Hazara Tehreek

After renaming of NWFP to Khyber Pakhtunkhwah, Tehreek e Soba Hazara (Hazara Province Movement) started with full swing and people in all districts of Hazara including Abbottabad, Mansehra, Haripur, Kohistan and Batgram came forward to demand a separate province with the name of Soba Hazara. This movement further intensified when police killed a few peaceful protestants in Abbottabad. Interestingly, this movement was supported and backed by all political and religious parties of Hazara except PML-N. Key leaders of Tehreek e Soba Hazara who gave a momentum to the movement were Baba Haider Zaman, Gohar Ayub Khan, Sardar Muhammad Yaqoob, Aman Ullah Khan Jadoon, Dr. Azhar Jadoon, Shahjahan Yousuf, Sardar Yousuf etc. 

With the passage of time, some differences were created among the parties which were demanding Soba Hazara as Baba Haider Zaman wanted all the forces to come under one flag and for this purpose, he registered a new political party with the name of Tehreek e Soba Hazara. This registration wasn't made by taking all the stake holders in confidence and as a result, Sardar Yousuf and his son Shahjahan Yousuf, who belong to PML-Q and come from district Mansehra, decided to separate themselves from Baba Haider Zaman and they have announced their own faction to continue this movement under the leadership of Sardar Yousuf. This split in the Tehreek e Soba Hazara leaders came in the month of Ramadan and now both groups, one headed by Baba Haider Zaman and other by Sardar Yousuf and Shahjahan Yousuf are playing their separate games of words and statements. 

Below are some latest updates about Soba Hazara Tehreek from newspapers of Abbottabad:

Dr Azhar Jadoon, who is one of the prominent leaders of Tehreek e Soba Hazara, is now in the group headed by Baba Haider Zaman and in his fresh statement in a joint press conference with Sardar Waqar Nabi said that those who are playing a game of governance by forgetting Soba Hazara cause have no future:

Imran Khan and Karachi Issue

Karachi which is industrial hub of Pakistan is under a wave of bloodshed and dozens of innocent people are dying everyday with no mention of the culprits behind this violence. Provincial and central ruling parties are just playing a blame game with no concrete measures to stop the violence in Karachi. At one day, Zulfiqar Mirza blames MQM for all terrorism in Karachi, while on the other day, we see Rehman Malik going to Nine Zero, begging a pardon for all statements issued by Zulfiqar Mirza. MQM blames ANP and Lyari Gang of PPP for this violence while some parties also blame some third force like Tehreek e Taliban Pakistan (TTP) for this terrorism.

   Imran Khan--Chairman Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has expressed his great concern over this bloodshed in Karachi and he termed it a disaster for the whole country. Imran Khan said that PPP and MQM are responsible for the killings in Karachi and he said that police in karachi is politicized where PPP and MQM workers were given high posts in police. According to Imran Khan, politicizing the police of Karachi is the biggest hurdle in enforcing the rule of law and to stop killing in Karachi. He said that when police officials belong to a party, they give protection to the criminals of their own party and in this way, it has become quite difficult to reach to the actual terrorists in Karachi and to treat them with an iron hand. In a TV program of Express News--To The Point With Shahzeb Hassan, Imran Khan said that if he is made governer of Karachi, he can bring peace in Karachi in no more than 90 days. He said solution to Karachi issue is de-weaponization of Karachi and de-politicization of Karachi Police.

Below is a news Item published in Today's Express Tribune about Imran Khan's stance on Karachi Killings:

The continued economic slide, coupled with the breakdown of law and order in Karachi, would lead to an economic collapse, a handout quoted chairman of the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaaf Imran Khan as saying on Saturday.

According to him, the national economy “is in a state of stagflation with little or no economic growth and high inflation”. The PTI chief said that electricity shortfall in Faisalabad alone resulted in massive unemployment. “If the current chaos and gang warfare is not controlled in Karachi…Pakistan faces imminent economic collapse…Loans amounting to Rs5 trillion, which were acquired over the past 60 years, have doubled to Rs10 trillion since the government came to power. How can a country with 80 per cent of the population on the fringe of extreme poverty repay the loans borrowed by our corrupt leaders through indirect taxes? There is a limit to taxing the poor through indirect taxation.”
Imran Khan said the sooner “this government is removed from power, the greater the chances of Pakistan’s recovery”.
Meanwhile, PTI’s Information Secretary Omar Sarfraz Cheema condemned the latest spate of bloodshed in Karachi.
A handout quoted Cheema as saying that the situation effectively exposed the government’s incompetence and its lack of will to deal with the Karachi situation.

Amir Liaqat Video is real or fake?

After leakage of a video of Amir Liaqat Hussain, using abusive and low standard cheap language, internet and all sort of media is full of discussion about this video as whether Amir Liaqt Hussain's video is fake or real? Most of the people who watched the video of Amir Liaqat Hussain, consider the video real while there are yet some people (quite a few in number) who think that this video is fake and some media people are spreading this conspiracy against Amir Liaqat Hussain to get their own ratings improved.

However, if we do lips reading and analyze the video in more depth, it seems that video is real and Amir Liaqat Hussain did use such slang and cheap language. Amir Liaqat Hussain claims that this video is fake and he expressed this in his program which was aired from ARY TV channel.

Amir Liaqat Hussain Reply about Video:

The most important thing is Amir Liaqat Hussain column (article) in today's Daily Express in which he wrote in an half clear manner that the video is old and today's Amir Liaqat Hussain is different than Amir Liaqat Hussain of before 2008. He has mentioned his public apology when praying to Allah on 27th Ramadan in the previous year. Howver, this is surprising that in TV program, Amir Liaqat mainly emphasized that video was edited and is totally fake but in today's column, he termed it as an Old video.

Watch leaked video of Amir Liaqat Hussain in which he is using low standard language and then share your views about the video.

Also watch the video which is Amir Liaqat Hussain's reply about this video in which he has tried to clarify his position:

 

Will Imran Khan Win Next Election?

Imran Khan--chairman of PTI (Pakistan Tehreek e Insaf) is the most dynamic, hard working and active politician of Pakistan these days, having Jalsas, rallies, protest sit-ins and all sort of political movements in different parts of Pakistan. He is also very active in media with a strong presence in some top Talks shows of Pakistani TV Channels.
PTI has got a good momentum in recent past and a lot of notables from different regions like Attock, Mardan, Lahore, Sheikhupura and other parts of the country have joined PTI. PTI has got a huge popularity in the youth and undoubtedly, PTI is the most popular party of Pakistan particularly in youth. After stunning popularity of PTI in past one year or so, now this question has become highly important and most discussed that Will Imran Khan's party, PTI will win next election? also people ask that How many seats PTI will get in next election? and Will PTI clean sweep in next election?
Looking at the current scenario where all other tested political parties have disappointed masses and looking at the way, political maturity is coming in Pakistan, it seems that future of PTI is quite bright. If next elections are free and fair under a free election commission and if Imran Khan continues his movement with same energies, PTI can win about 50 seats in National assembly, mostly from Khyber Pakhtunkhwah and Punjab. PTI is expected to win a big number of provincial assembly seats as well in KPK and Punjab. PTI will be giving a tough time to PML-N in Lahore and it's expected that PTI will get a victory in Lahore especially in the urban areas. If Jahangir Tareen's party of clean also joins PTI or goes for an alliance with PTI, things can become more in favor of PTI and it can lead to a revolution in the next election.
Imran Khan often claims for a clean sweep in next general elections but looking at the position of PTI in Sindh and Baluchistan, it seems that this claim is much exaggerated and doesn't seem possible unless some miracle done. However, things may change in coming months if some notables of Sindh or Baluchistan join PTI.

Notable Political leaders join PTI

PTI is gaining a huge popularity among masses and now when people are fed up of political parties like PML-N and PPP, Imran Khan is the best option for them as a third force. Imran Khan's Pakistan Tehreek e Insaf has played an important role in judges restoration movement and also have clear stance on issues like War on Terror, Drone Attacks, Corruption etc and this has given a big boost to popularity of PTI.
Now, after seeing a clear success of PTI in various credible international surveys like PEW polls, NEWS WEEK survey etc, a large number of politicians from different parties have started contacting Imran Khan and are joining PTI. 
The first key figure who joined PTI was Justice R Waji Ud Din Ahmed who joined PTI in 2010 and owed to work hard for a positive change in Pakistan by joining hands with Imran Khan. Noor Muhammad Bhaba who was an Ex-MNA from Mailsi also joined Pakistan Tehreek e Insaf (PTI) about two months back. Others who joined PTI in recent past include Malik Munir Afzal--a ticket holder of PML-N from Narowal, Sardar Mumtaz--a PML-N leader from Attock, Sardar Muhammad Ali--Ex MPA of PML-Q from Attock, Malik Sohail Khan Samryal--a key leader of PML-N from Attock, Qazi Khalid--Ex Tehsil Nazim of Attock, Ex MPA Ijaz Hussain Bukhari and Qazi Mushtaq from Attock. 
Today some notable political personalities of Mardan KPK will join PTI in a press conference headed by Imran Khan. Some key politicians of Mardan formed NDF (National Democratic Front) under the leadership of Khan Muhammad Hoti who won election on ANP ticket but the left ANP. Nawabzada Umar Farooq Hoti--son of Khan Muhammad Hoti will announce to join PTI on this occasion. Other who will join PTI at this occasion include overseas coordinator of PPP Mehrab Gul, Shakir Zareen Gul--Nephew of Ex-MNA of Mansehra Zargul Khan, PPP ticket holder from Chitral Shahzada Nisar Jilani and various other notables of ANP.
Another big name--Chaudhry Ashfaq Taj Joined PTI on 28th of August after meeting with Imran Khan. He is Ex-MNA of PML-N from Shakargarh and his joining in PTI will further strengthen PTI in Shakargarh and its surroundings. 
Imran Khan has also announced that various senior politicians of PML-N, PPP, PML-Q and other parties are in contact with him and  will join PTI soon. Jehangir Tareen is also forming a group of clean electable politicians and they may also join PTI or announce an alliance with PTI.

Zulfiqar Mirza Lates Speech about MQM and talking about Afaq Ahmed

Watch latest video of Zulfiqar Mirza at residence of Shahi Syed of ANP in which he uses negative language about Alftaf Hussain and calls him a Badmaash. He speaks aggressively against MQM. Zulfiqar Mirza states that Afaq Ahmad is the real leader of Muhajirs. Watch video of Zulfiqar Mirza in which he says that target killers belong to MQM.

Current Party Position in Pakistan politics

 The politics of Pakistan has got a quick momentum in last few days after MQM left government coalition and went into the opposition benches in national assembly as well as in Sindh Assembly. Unpredictable warm welcoming of PML-N to its close rival MQM in the opposition benches surprised the public and the surprise went up manifold when same party (PML-N) approached MQM to form a grand alliance. PML-N leader Mian Nawaz Sharif, had announced at APC in London a few years back that no coalition will be made ever with MQM and all parties which were there in APC, were of the view that MQM is a terrorist organization and was involved in May, 12 incident of Karachi. 
Currently, PML-N is facing political loneliness and after losing AJK election, PML-N has similar fear in Pakistan's upcoming elections too and to avoid that, such alliances are being proposed by PML-N.

Current Party Position in Pakistan is as follows:
According to PEW polls and also according to the survey of NEWS WEEK, PTI (Pakistan Tehreek e Insaf ) is the most popular party in Pakistan at the moment due to clear stance and bold politics of Imran Khan. However, PTI lacks good electables from most of the constituencies and to turn this popularity into the assembly seats, PTI will have to look for clean and well positioned candidates in upcoming elections. However, there are chances that many notable politicians may join PTI before upcoming elections.
PML-N is the second most popular party according to current party position in Pakistan. However, Imran Khan's factor may badly damage PML-N and rightist votes may divide resulting in a benefit to parties like PPP and PML-Q.
PPP, despite its poor performance in last three years of governance, yet enjoys a good popularity in Sindh and many parts of Punjab, KPK and Baluchistan. PPP has already won with a big margin in recent Elections of Azad Kashmir while its also having a majority government in Gilgit Baltistan. However, separation of people like Shah Mehmood Qureshi, Safdar Abbasi and Naheed Khan may damage the vote bank of PPP to some extent.
PML-Q isn't a popular party at all in terms of its ideology but it contains some big names and those names do have their own vote bank which gives PML-Q  a prominent place in the political setup of Pakistan. Recent alliance of PPP and PML-Q is supposed to be long lasting and will result in seat adjustment in next elections which may give a good edge to both parties over their rivals like PML-N, PTI etc.
MQM is the most popular party in Karachi, Hyderabad and some other parts of the Sindh but has failed to get approved by the people of other parts of the country. MQM couldn't win any seat in recent AJK elections. MQM has also start organizing itself in Punjab and other parts of the country as well but isn't yet in any strong position in these areas.
Jamat e Islami (JI) is one of the ideological parties of Pakistan with its own specific but limited vote bank. JI may not win large number of seats in next election but it's sure that any party which will go in an alliance with JI, will get a good number of JI votes. JI has a good vote bank in Khyber Pakhtunkhwah, Lahore, Karachi and different other parts of the country. It seems that JI isn't going to join grand opposition alliance with PML-N and MQM due to its reservation over MQM politics.
Parties like ANP and JUI-F also hold a strong position in Khyber Pakhtunkwah and are expected to get few seats in next election. Currerntly ANP is enjoying governance in KPK due to boycott of JI and PTI but it's expected that it won't be able to get this number of seats in next elections due to Imran Khan factor and JI.

PML-N expected grand alliance

PML-N after having a clear defeat in AJK elections despite an alliance/seat adjustment with Jamat-e-Islami (JI) has now become fully alert of the future of its politics in Pakistan as well and now looks highly depressed because of political loneliness. Due to arrogance of Nawaz Sharif, PML-Q faction has gone in the hands of PPP and is now enjoying the governance while some other parties like PTI and other members of APDM are already angry with dual policies of Nawaz Sharif who betrayed them on the boycott issue of 2008 general elections. The trust level of Nawaz Sharif has gone very low now among these parties and convincing these parties to form an alliance with PML-N is really an uphill task.
The most surprising part of the story is newly building relationships between two rivals--PML-N and MQM. The two parties had fierce political fights a few months back in which the leaders of two parties even used low standard cheap words against each other, reaching to the family matters!! PML-N always had a stance that MQM is a terrorist party and a mafia while MQM also had a strong aggressive point of view about the origin of PML-N and most importantly about 1992 operation in Karachi under the government of Nawaz Sharif. Watch the videos below to have a glimpse of how the leaders of the two parties spoke about each other just a few months back:
Here is the video in which MQM leaders Haider Abbas Rizvi and Waseem Akhtar are speaking aggressively against PML-N:




Now watch the video below in which PML-N leader Chaudhry Nisar talks cheaply about MQM leader Altaf Hussain:


PML-N also agreed with all parties in APDM that no party will become a part of any alliance with MQM but now it seems that PML-N has changed its stance and all that it was claiming for so long was just a drama and in reality, they can go to any extreme for their political benefits.
Now question rises that what's position of PTI in this grand alliance? Imran Khan has categorically stated that he will never go with an alliance with any such party whose leaders have undeclared assets and hence any alliance with PML-N isn't acceptable at all by Imran Khan and it seems that he will remain away from any such new game by PML-N.
After making an alliance with PML-N in AJK election, now it's very important that what move is taken by JI regarding this alliance. However, so far JI hasn't decided to become a part of any such alliance.
