The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf might dent the vote-bank of the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) in rural Sindh and the Awami National Party (ANP)’s in Karachi.
Sources said many anti-PPP leaders of the rural parts of the province as well as Pakhtun leaders and tribal chiefs in the provincial capital, Karachi, are likely to join the PTI soon.
Political observers believe this could make things difficult for the PPP’s long-established power base in Sindh’s rural areas as well as cause a heavy loss to the ANP’s popularity among Karachi’s Pakhtuns.
According to the sources, PTI Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) President Asad Qaiser was given the responsibility to contact Pakhtun leaders and tribal chiefs in Karachi so he can convince them to join his party.
Moreover, the sources added, PTI Vice Chairman Shah Mehmood Qureshi has contacted anti-PPP leaders – including the Maher brothers of Ghotki, the Jatoi brothers of Naushehro Feroze, the Shirazis of Thatta, former Sindh minister Irfan Gul Magsi and former Sindh chief minister Liaquat Jatoi – to woo them to join the PTI at the party’s rally on December 25 in Karachi. Qureshi has also contacted Punjabi Pakhtun Ittehad (PPI) President Irfanullah Marwat.
The sources said the PTI KP president had contacted many Pakhtun leaders of Karachi, mainly active leaders and activists of the ANP, via telephone and would arrive in Karachi after Ashura to meet them personally.
Many Pakhtun leaders, including former ANP Central Committee member Shah Pervez and Mehsud tribal chief Saif Rehman Mehsud, are expected to join the PTI very soon, the sources added.
PPI President Irfanullah Marwat confirmed that he was contacted by Qureshi. “I told Qureshi to ask [PTI chief] Imran Khan to clarify his stance on the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) before I can consider joining the PTI,” he said.
“To us, the MQM is an opponent and a criminal mafia. We support former Sindh home minister Dr Zulfiqar Ali Mirza’s stance about the party. If a leader like Imran Khan changes his stand on the MQM, then how can I join him and how will I be able to convince my supporters?”
clean sweep is just a word, I think it would be more!!!!!
Great to see imran entering local politics of sind and karachi
I request the PPI president and his companions to understand that the domocracy is rule of majority and everybody should be accommodated as per their mandate. If MQM has certain majority, and if it is interested in promoting peace, we should give them a chance.
WOW ! Love you 🙂
Good luck Imran.

JUST SAYING THE PEOPLE LONG LIVE THE REVOLUTION ITS JUST WORD.IF HE IS A TRUTH PERSON AND HIS PARTY IS A POLITICAL PARTY SO WHY HE IS NOT INTRODUCING NEW FACES FROM THE MIDDLE OF US…….. SO GOD SAKE PLZ OPEN YOUR EYES BROTHERS
Only people who love him are those who hate Pakistan and want the distrcution of Pakistan. The fastest way will be to have Mr. Khan take over Pakistan then, Allah akber, Allah akber and the qurbani is done…
If a party has program for the People then it does't need for Famous faces. Are these famous joining the party for nothing?. I Think the Party should be famous instead of their members. Like MQM. the candidates of MQM do not get vote people vote to MQM not to the candidate of MQM. Who knew the Mustafa Kamal, Imran Farooq, Farooq Sattar, Raza Haroon, Faisal Sabswari.
If the old famous faces join a party then it will ramin the same as like aa ppp-p & PML . So its time to think about it. for PTI
Imran is trying old faces with their old criminal background….there isnt any power in the manifesto of imran…he cant bring a little change in the system.
establishment is behind Imran Khan and all the puppets of establishment are joining him. I don't know if peoples' vote would count this time or the decision has already been made. Agencies are in "Total Control" of Pakistan and do what ever they want to. Since they couldn't curtail MQM in 90s so they launched operation against MQM and tried to destroy it. People have to be united against the evil designs of agencies otherwise it will be too late for Pakistan.
Dear PTI members, criticism is always on great leaders like Imran khan, don,t be nervous, it will flow all the puppets and stooges of family and fudel political parties. We are the representative of 99 percent……………..Long liveImran khan
