PTI….League
of Extraordinary Men!
What is PTI? A
political party or a pressure group?
Is it really a political party that has emerged as a third option in a
political scenario? Or is it something else which we are unable to see or
figure out in our desperation of trying something new?
Taking same people and forming a new party, is this change
we require or we all are looking for? I was wondering what Mr. khan was doing in the past 15 years, as he was unable to bring forth not even a single person
from his party as a vice chairman. And how easily he trashed Omer Serfraz
Cheema and replaced him with Shafaqt Mehmood.
He has claimed several
times that the PTI will be a party of new and fresh people, but today even Imran have
to rely on same people. Then what is new in PTI and what change will it bring.
Who are the real party members? Majority of them are ex-PPP, PML (Q), PML (N), APML
and all are tried and tested in their respected parties. How PTI will challenge
“status quo” with people who are by and large are responsible for it?
What is new?
Nonetheless the techniques used for party campaign was new
and fresh without a doubt; choreographed jalsa was a new thing, never done
before. Using social media as an effective tool for the party election campaign
was also an innovative idea.
But are all these things sufficient to overcome the problems
and to resolve the issues? I failed to understand what change this “new political party” of leftovers will
bring, and why people are ready to support all the tested people in a new party,
under the umbrella of change. Strange, people are ready to give a chance to the
same people but in a new party. Are we playing party game or any one among us
have serious concerns about Pakistan? I believe now the parties from where the
entire stampede is coming, will definitely left with clean and competent members. As PTI
is sucking all the opportunists into its “league
of extraordinary men.”
