Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan said on Wednesday that he would field 1,000 candidates across the country in the next general elections.
Imran was speaking at a press conference called to announce Dr Allama Iqbal’s grandson Waleed Iqbal’s decision to join the PTI, nine days after Imran held a rousing public meeting at Minar-e-Pakistan. The press conference was held at Justice Javed Iqbal’s residence to mark the induction of Waleed into the PTI. Allama Iqbal and his son Justice Javed Iqbal had been a part of the Pakistan Muslim League (PML) but Waleed Iqbal joined the PTI, saying that PML has broken into many parts and lost its utility. Announcing the decision, Waleed said it was the first time that he has joined any political party. Waleed’s mother Justice Nasira Iqbal told Pakistan Today that she hoped Waleed’s decision proves better for him and the entire nation. “Youth is inclined towards PTI due to its strong message for change. Imran is a hero of the nation, who had brought good name by winning the cricket world cup,” she added. “PML which launched the Pakistan Movement is now divided into many parts. These parts are working with different names and now youth is fed up all of them. PTI is talking about change and the youth wants to be a stakeholder in this wave of change,” she added. Imran Khan hailed Waleed’s decision and hoped to see new faces joining his party, who were sincere and hardworking. He said that time would prove Waleed’s decision right, adding that he would field 1,000 candidates in the next general elections, and they would be political heavyweights. Imran said that every person has to disclose all of his assets before joining PTI, adding that Pakistan Muslim League – Nawaz (PML-N) President Nawaz Sharif and President Asif Ali Zardari would never disclose their assets.

Qureshi will announce his decision during a rally in Kashmore on November 27.

  1. Imran Khan needs to heed constructive and honest criticism. His economic affairs team, strategic affairs team and foreign affairs team should take the following analysis by a very level headed, selfless senior journalist on board and produce a meaningful response. A forward looking response based on research will be welcomed. It will also define the sobriety and seriousness of purpose that and average person in Pakistan would like to see.

    The following excerpt is from an article by Arif Nizami published on 4th November 2011 in Pakistan Today.

    "Imran’s speech also lacked the specifics and the vision needed to extricate Pakistan from its present quagmire. Pakistan’s economic malaise needs bold decisions based on imaginative solutions rather than quick fix solutions to lure the voters.

    His speech betrayed a certain sense of naiveté on his part. He created the impression that power shortages can be fixed by building dams and the economic mess can be fixed merely by eradicating corruption. Easier said than done."

  2. inshaAllah absolutely he will!
    we Believe IN you Imran Khan!
    The Only True Leader of our time!
    Pakistan Zindabad!
    Imran Khan Zindabad!
