In what appeared to be a big-blow to the Imran Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), its senior leader and one of the old guards Shireen Mazari has resigned from the party.
Mazari said that the party’s membership drive was hijacked by ‘big money’ and that compromised the party elections
“Party program has been taken over by ‘big money,” she posted on social networking site twitter.
“The think tanks were isolated from policy formulation. Party created compromised policies and changed its principles and brought in intermediaries. Not leaving PTI for any other party, purely based on political issues,” she wrote.
“I regretfully resign as people had real hopes with PTII felt it better to resign after the Rajanpur incident. There were many differences between me and the party recently PTI didn’t need political names after the Lahore Jalsa. People supported PTI due to their ideology,” she added.
“I didn’t ask for any high post, purely out of commitment to ideology.I have given in my resignation from PTI.
Earlier, Iman Hazir Mazari, the daughter of Shireen Mazari, also left the party after being insulted by her co-workers, particularly internet warriors.
In one of her blogs posted on the internet she said that she could not stand the bashing she was subjected to regarding her work, her attitude towards ex-fellow party members and a lot of other things but one thing she had put up with for the last six months was abuse and character assassination.

  6. Whatever reasons Dr Mazari gave sounds more like her personal anger over the two points she mentioned in the letter. Dr Mazari was an asset to the party but our trust and respect lies for Imran khan. Goodbye Dr Mazari, we still support Imran khan and PTI.

  8. Imran Khan is self centered person, and a person with wisdom and vision can not go long with him. He is now surrounded by feudal's political experience and untrained youth. Feudals are dragging him to convert PTI into a party flag bearer of status-quo, while his youth-force is violent , they know Imran Khan as a sacred cow and donot allow anybody to contradict him. I know Pakistani youth see hope in Imran Khan but the must also try to keep PTI on track. Mazari's resign must open eyes of blind followers.

    • Statement: I set a goal and then I make every compromise to achieve that. (IK)
      Fact: Slogan of IK was to eradicate corruption and now PTI is full of corrupt politicians
      Effect: Old faithful quit (Shere Mazari)
      If IK is alone or will be in future, It will be due to compromises

  10. Imran Khan has either made too many compromises or else his real self is being exposed. PTI is in the hands of too many opportunists with big money and this does not bode well for a party that talks of bringing about a change. All the rotten eggs of Musharraf and PPP have joinded PTI and dominate it now. Men like K Qasuri, Sarwar, Sardar Assef Ahmed, Mian Azhar, Legahi brothers etc who have a history of being B-Team of this corrupt establishment are part of PTI now.

  15. It is very sad to see Shireen Mazari go. PTI must think hard and fast it must do the thinking to keep it loyal to the ideology that moved millions.

    PTI must also work to bring Mazari back to its fold. Mazari's resignation must be take seriously and her grievances addressed in the interest of both Pakistan ans PTI>

  17. "Eliminate corruption and economy, jobs and industries will grow. Jahalat will be eliminated when we educate the masses."

    It is indeed a great loss for PTI and i hope Imran Khan and PTI supports must understand Shireen's frustration. It's too hard to clean Pakistani politics and i am hopeful that Imran Khan will do his best to bring new non corrupted people into politics. People of Pakistan are tired of PLM-N, PLM-Q, MQM and PPP corruption and these political parties have destroyed Pakistan.
    The entire political system needs a revamp….It's essential to establish new democratic parties like PTI and banned the corrupted parties and corrupted politicians.

    Here are some suggestion:
    1. Each Provincial (or "Super district") government responsible creating their government policies.
    2. Provincial Democratic Governance.
    3. Poverty Reduction (Eradicate Extreme Poverty and Hunger)
    4. Crisis Prevention and Recovery (Natural disasters, Flood,Earth quake)
    5. Energy and Environment
    6. Improve Health Care system (Reduce Child Mortality /Improve Maternal Health)
    7. Develop global partnership for Economy, Social development and Education.
    8. Smaller provinces to reduce corruption.
    9. We must save Pakistan from corrupted politicians and terrorists. New Pakistani government should make it clear to all Political/religious parties that No sectarian and Political violence will be tolerated any more. Any group/party found guilty of support violence will be banned and will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

  24. hhurrayyyyyyy! now lets bash IK as much as we can, perhaps, the only Sadiq, Ameen Politician that is left in the whole country!! Lets now vote for Zardari, Nawaz Sharif, Altaf Bhai and Railway-corruption fame Balor!! Yapeee!! Lets get ready for another 5 years of mass loot, load shedding, corruption and bad governance either under Zardari or Sharif!!

  25. Whatever reasons Dr Mazari gave sounds more like her personal anger over the two points she mentioned in the letter. Dr Mazari was an asset to the party but our trust and respect lies for Imran khan. Goodbye Dr Mazari, we still support Imran khan and PTI.

  29. The whole country is full of corrupt people, from where IK is going to bring honest people?? Every party even JUI and JI have corrupt people, so this argument is nonsense. Secondly, the leader has to be honest and loyal to the country, which IK is, so no questions there. Surrounded by feudals, old politicians and dis honest people?? Who isn’t? Lets cut the crap, bring IK to power, see his performance and then say anything. We don’t need pop and pml any more.

  30. Big loss for PTI. She was one of the pioneers of PTI and supported Imran Khan in hard times. He should have made genuine efforts to retain her. Could be start of decline of PTI

  34. First IK used to say Free judiciary is the key to every problem in this country, then is start saying only solution is early elections, then he raised slogan for end of war against terrorism, then he started shouting on corruptions of Sharifs and Zardari, then he marched towards Quetta for a rally to demonstrate his street power (obviously for no cause or reason) and now he is heading towards Waziristan ! –

    What a joke this joker is playing with this young (angry) nation – those who are educated and liberal must know that IK and Taliban are same because he IK cannot say a single word against the killers of our JAWANS and Soldiers who are defending Pakistan and its people from these mercenaries (paid killers). Hence I.K has become the Leader (without beard) of Taliban forces. Its time to re-think for the educated people of Pakistan – where this guy is leading them to. !!!
