The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) gained political strength on Wednesday when former Punjab governor and Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q) president Mian Azhar joined the party with a pledge to combat corruption with party chief Imran Khan’s visionary approach.
Imran termed the former kingmaker’s entry into the party “a great victory in the fight for Lahore” and said that now President Asif Ali Zardari will have to consider the PTI as a threat for his rule alongside other opposition parties. Azhar said that the country needed leaders such as Imran and warned those people who considered Lahore as their citadel that the PTI would soon conquer it. Urging the masses to come out on roads, he said it was the only option left to tackle issues of skyrocketing prices, unemployment as well as removing the clouds of uncertainty and disappointment shrouding the country.
He declared that it would be decided soon that who held power in Lahore and now the future of the province and the country would be decided from here. The PTI chief lauded Azhar’s son Hammad for convincing his father to join the PTI and urged the younger generation to inform their elders that change for a better future was all the more imminent and the country could not survive without it. Hammad recalled that his father had taken a stand even during the regime of the worst civilian dictator, referring to Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President Nawaz Sharif, in whose regime Azhar had announced a war on corruption in 1999. He said that those who remained part of the “corrupt” government were now weeping for the masses.
The first drop of rain in this drought…
I am sensing SPIES from all parties who join PTI
I think Imran needs to be careful when accept people in PTI but I am sure he will be victorious in the next general elections.
imran is the our man now
Well done skipper
there is much diffrence between cricket and politics , pakistan politics is not county cricket
This trump card which imran is so proud of cud not even win his own seat. He cannot even deliver a speech on his own n he will win Imran … Lahore!!!! Give me a break
Who care. Imran will still win.
Now mian azahar will speak like a parrot he is in hands of imran khan who is a born leader
thats poor choice at best…………….what change the Khan is offering then ?
Imran khan knows well how to lead the team even ppl like mian azhar will perform well inshallah
Imran, jamat e islami n q league will only damage nawaz sharif’s vote.
Imran khan has very rare chance of winning if any.
^Finally someone whos realistic
Imran khan is the great and inshallah he will show his ability after wining next general election
PTI needs all the prominent political figures from who have a decent record in managing the affairs responsibily and successfully in the past. All the political figures in the country were able to get involve one time or the other with the government in the last 64 years. So, it is a good start to rope in Mian Azhar,though it is not a great deal will of affect in Lahore and Punjab in the presence of the Sharif's and PPP.I hope people like Shah Mehmood,Raza Rabbani,Zafar Jamali,Aftab Sherpoa,Khaliquzzaman,and others join PTI to offer people of the country a better and improved living.If PTI sweeps coming election it will be a challenge.
Imran did not deliver the true spirit of cricket. Not only did he practise but surprisingly supported ball tampering. He embarrased Pakistanis all over the world because he is self centered. I think he has his own standards of right and wrong and I am afraid that he may create more problems for Pakistan in the International community. He is good material for "opposition" No doubt. To lead the country he has to grow up. Being a captain of the cricket world cup winning team does not make him a good prospect for Pakistan's Leadership. What about jehangir Khan ,Jansher Khan,………..
IZHAR SAHAB, KHAYAL SA YA HAAT JAMIAMA KHAN SA BHI MILAY THAY. YOU SHAKE HAND WITH IMRAN KHAN WHO SHAKE HAND WITH JAMIAMA KHAN AND LEAVE HER ALONE.
SEE KAB TAK MIAN SAHAB IMRAN KHAN KA SAATH CHALTAY HAAN?????????//
It seems Mian Ajji had joined PTI to quit. He joined Mian Sahiban and was governor Punjab. He joined Chaudhrys and was founder of Q League and was abandoned by clever Chaudhrys and was left with nothing but regrets only. Good luck to Mian Ajji. By joining PTI, no significant dent is seen in the present political scence of Lahore. It will be amazing to watch Mian Ajji saying Wazeer-e-Azam Imran Khan.
