Emergence of descendants in the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) Sindh-Circle has put PTI Chairman Imran Khan in deep trouble, it is reliably learnt.
Imran Khan, who arrived in Karachi on Wednesday on a two-day visit, has faced immense criticism from party workers over appointment of Nadir Akmal Laghari as President PTI Sindh and Hafeez-ud Din Advocate as a General Secretary Sindh without consultation with the members of PTI Sindh Council.
The workers have shown reservations over delay in dissolution of PTI Sindh for party elections ahead. PTI Chairman Imran Khan was taken aback when workers came down heavily on him during PTI Sindh workers meeting on Wednesday.
Telling inside story of PTI Sindh workers meeting with the party chairman, some workers who claimed themselves Khans’ day-first supporters and founders of PTI, told Pakistan Today that the chairman stumbled at the start of the meeting when the participants raised accusing fingers on him over appointment of Nadir Akmal Laghari as PTI Sindh President and Hafeez-ud Din Advocate as General Secretary.
They said the workers had raised objection over Nadir Akmal Laghari President PTI Sindh and claimed that a Saraiki-speaker had been appointed to represent Sindhis. They claimed that Nadir Akmal Laghari, who was appointed as PTI Sindh President on March 31, 2012, had no idea about problems of the province and expressed fear of uprising in ranks of PTI Sindh Council. They also made hue and cry over non-dissolution of PTI Sindh for free and fair party elections in the provinces despite dissolution of PTI leadership in all provinces for party elections.
They also criticized appointment of Syed Hafeez-ud Din Advocate as a General Secretary of PTI Sindh. The workers asked Imran Khan about reasons of delay in dissolution of PTI Sindh for party elections. A member of PTI Sindh Council asked a question that why Makhdoom Javed Hashmi, Makhdoom Shah Mehmood, Jahangir Tarin and Khawaja Hoti were feeling hesitation to invite the like-minded constituency winner for participation in PTI.
He alleged that those who joined PTI recently were just ‘opportunists’ and they were waiting for the right time to rejoin their ancestral political parties on their terms and condition. The workers requested PTI Chairman to ensure justice in the party before providing justice to 180 million population of the country after winning the coming general elections,” they added.
Responding to questions raised by the workers, the PTI chief requested workers to show patience. “If you think that Nadir Akmal Laghari and Syed Hafeez-ud Din Advocate appointment was unjustified then you should contest against them in the party elections,” Khan said. Describing reasons behind delay in dissolution of PTI Sindh circle, Khan said that Nadir Akmal Laghari had joined party three months before and he should be given some time to show his performance. Party elections would prove that who is suitable for which post,” Khan told workers.
