Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf (PTI) Punjab President Ahsan Rashid has said that the PTI would complete its election preparation in the next two months and would grab over a 100 of the Punjab’s 148 seats in the National Assembly and will also be majority in the Provincial Assembly. He was talking to Pakistan Today in an exclusive interview. He said early polls were the only solution for the current political situation of the country and Senate polls and the continuation of the present government were not the answers to the country’s problems. He said justice, merit, rule of law, reforms in health sector, education and agriculture emergency in the country, police reforms and transparent system of paying taxes would be the main features of PTI’s elections manifesto.
He said politicians had brought the country on the verge of destruction and alleged that current parliament was the worst in the country’s history, adding that the PTI would change the fortunes of the country after winning the next elections.
He said Pakistan was facing a number of issues, as the Railways, PIA and Steel Mills had been destroyed, but the PTI was committed to streamline the whole system of the country.
Ahsan said the PTI was gaining popularity across Punjab, and the youth and others wanted a change in the country. He said they would also encourage women in participating in elections by giving them an opportunity through the party.
He said everyone had a right to join party and the current parliamentarians were joining the PTI, but they would acknowledge only honest peoples to come forward. “Our party is holdings meetings to set criteria to judge honest and well-reputed people and our preliminary board will give a decision on the subject after investigating the profiles of the candidates.”
He said the preliminary board would also see whether the ticket holders were involved in any criminal cases, as it was the vision of PTI Chairman Imran Khan that only neat and clean people should contest the elections. He said that the allegations that the PTI was the party of establishment were totally false since PTI wanted a revolution, which was something all the Pakistanis wanted. He said after coming into power, the PTI government would bring special programmes for the youth as they were sufferings due to the unemployment after getting education. Ahsan said 70 percent population of the country comprised of youth who were not satisfied with the political leaders and they supported the PTI.
He said they would spend five percent of GDP on education, as only educated youth could change the fortune of county, adding that India was allocating spending around 7 percent of GDP on education.
He said they would also focus on a uniform education curriculum and technical education in the country. He said the elite were not paying taxes, resulting in overburdening the poor, but they would bring a transparent system of tax collection, adding that the agricultural sector would also among the top priorities.
He said there would be no big change in the party and added that former information secretary Umer Cheema himself wished to be replaced and he would be given very important responsibility in near future.

  7. Nothing is stopping Khan’s tsunami now. Zardari has already whimpered away to Dubai again, the Sharif brothers are copying every single move that PTI makes. They are scared out of their and cannot comprehend where this massive third force has come from – no establishment can bring people out in Prados and chapals to lahore, Peshawar and Karachi jalsas. Imran IA is our next PM. It is absolutely happening.

  10. How ? 0 % presence in Sindh and Balochistan so far . 15 % seats expected in Punjab at best . 25 % in KPK at best . 2 months is very short period to dream Clean Sweep .Reason, not emotions , must prevail . .

  26. INSHALLAH, Whole PAKISTAN is right now ready for making IMRAN KHAN prime minnister. LONG LIVE PAKISTAN.

  27. Ahsan Rashid, a gentleman to the core. His father Mr Rashid served Pakistan in the superior services and his uncle Late Professor Aziz was a professor at King Edward Medical College (now University) Lahore. Ahsan Rashid served SAUDI ARAMCO for many years and gained business and management experience, working at key position. As far as I know, he is a very honest man.

    It is reassuring to know that Pakistan Tehreek –e- Insaf has an agenda for Pakistan. They also need to clarify their vision of Insaf, which I must say is rather constrained at he present time. The judicial system can not be made effective without the concurrent development of services which build a case, the prosecution services. The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) does a sterling job in the UK.

    UK’s health budget is 5-6 times the budget of Pakistan, defence budget including. There is a great understanding of a colossal waste in the system. I am of the opinion the better services can be provided in Pakistan a fraction of the cost of what we have in the UK.

    Likewise, education in Pakistan can delivered at a fraction of the cost of what the UK Government does in the UK.

    The opportunities for Pakistan are endless.

  29. Insha-Allah, it will happen with the help of Allah swt.

    @Farhan & Afzal: yes, at the least we are dreaming, while other's have to take sleeping pills ..:)

    @Jahanzeb: I am not sure how u came up with these numbers, becuase all international polls, the last two jalsas and even the comments on this forum are telling us a different story. Re your comment 'Reason, not emotion', pls enlighten us with 'reasoning' to support other parties that you have been supporting for the last 3-4 decades.

  30. hahaha what a funny statement sir! tell the khan sahib dont be over confident because baray jaslay tu sheikh rashid nay bi kiay thay lol

  33. Imran Khan has not come in to politics for any personal interest or gain but since its a mission for him and the founder members of PTI who have gone through thick and thin but stood to gather since 15 long years.PTI is the only party which has not come in to power but has shown its honesty through its leader and self example,the rest of the parties especially the status-qua have time and again FAILED the nation of PAKISTAN,while Imran Khan in contrast has been doing his bid all along for the betterment of Pakistan and for the Pakistanis.Today he stands tall as a true Patriotic Pakistani whose deeds speak larger than words while his compatriots are busy looting and plundering our dear country,their deeds are before the nation[which is at the brink of disaster]in contrast to what Imran Khan has done………….

  35. INSHALLHA…….!
    God help those who help themselves.
    & we r all with you all who want to change the gund mund shund….
