In a major setback to the Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q), sitting Minister of State Raza Hayat Hiraj is all set to join Imran Khan-led Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) today (Tuesday) with some heavyweights of the former Millat Party of Sardar Farooq Leghari including Sardar Awais Khan Leghari, Jamal Khan Leghari, Jaffer Khan Leghari and former MNA Mian Afzal Hayat would join the PTI in the next few days, Pakistan Today learnt on Monday. A well-placed source said Khan had finally made up his mind to sweep the remnants of the PML-Q and former colleagues of Gen Pervez Musharraf and a schedule for all those sitting and former MPs had been finalised. “Under the plan, Marvi Memon had to announce joining the PTI and had been promised the secretary information’s slot. However, she sought some time after coming to know that the same slot was to be offered to Dr Maleeha Lodhi, who is also set to join the PTI in a few days,” the source said, adding that now Marvi might join the PTI at the Karachi rally. The source said MNA Khawaja Khan Hoti would announce joining the PTI on Friday, while PML-Q chief of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa chapter Ameer Muqam was also in talks for joining the PTI. “The political chessboard is almost ready and in the next few weeks, some other heavyweight politicians would also join Imran Khan and later politicians from Sindh would join the PTI from January,” added the source.

    • IMRAN KHAN – SEPARATE MOSQUE FROM POLITICS IN PAKISTAN. Save Pakistan please! It is a guaranteed solution to our all problems.

      Constitution of Pakistan should be completely rewritten. There should be separation of mosque and state with freedom of religion for everyone. Government powers must not be used to support any religion but for the protection of all religions and ***es.

      Our problem is inherent in the Ideology of Pakistan. Pakistan is the only country in the world created in the name of religion. Israel, India, USA and all developed countries do not have a state religion. There is separation of church and state in all developed countries of Europe, Americas, Australia and Japan.

  1. Imran is either a silly fool or power mad. He’s getting the same people together that Musharraf got, and he will be hamstrung by the same slime… Its idiotic if thinks he can control several frauds that have been doing this for a long time and whom even the army couldn’t control…

    • Shah Mehmood Qureshi (SMQ) should be able to give a talk or two to Imran Khan about the rise and fall of Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto and PPP.

    • My friend have faith in Imran Khan. If the majority of ticket holders come election time is comprised of turncoats then your concerns are going to be valid but if the majority of ticket holders is comprised of new faces then the outcome is going to be very different.
      PTI was always considered clean and good but never viable. That is a very important psychological barrier for PTI to break. You shall see that a lot of these turncoats will bite the dust come election time.

    • u r the biggest fool of all time. Do u know what kind of politics helds in small cities and villages. Just shutup and see the change

    • Kia hum kisi per yaqeen nahi ker skty? Cmon look at west they always give you a chance to prove yourself. They will always trust you but when you cannot comply the laws they will kick you out of the system.

      IK is an honest man and takes everyone like this. If the youth keep supporting him, he will definitely kick out corrupts from party and the system. But if we let propoganda spoil our support to IK then IK cant do nothing.

      There are still good people in political parties but the only reason they cannot raise the voice is bcuz of their leadership character. We just need a god leadership. Thats all

    • Dear Babar,
      I support and re-enforce the comments of jawad sb. Leadership is all we must be concerned about. We have complete faith in Imran Khan. He has devised a complete governing body of party and a systematic way to handle all these issues. A candidate will only be able to take ticket of the party after complying with all the defined parameters and procedures of Tehrik-e-Insaf. So I suggest all the youth to trust in top leadership of PTI, and we must be fully confident on their ability to handle these issues. When leadership is corrupt and loot mafia, a sincere member can't do in this situation, and the same is otherwise. I think this will clear all the doubts in our minds.
      Thanks and Regards.

  2. Great news!

    PTI should welcome all politicians of good repute but hand out tickets to those who fulfil stringent criteria!!

    • Keep faith in great IK. He never let nation down and inshaAllah he will lead us to success. He just need a strong support from youth. and a continous support. Time will prove he will make perfect decisions. Bcuz he still have all the control on what he is doing and he knows where he needs a bouncer. He got this killer instinct or just tell me what is the replacement for IK. If not IK then who will lead us?

  3. political senario is changing very quickly which is a good swing in pakistan lets hope for good and i belive that KAPTAAN would never let us down INSHALLAH
    GOD bless kahn love u khan………..

  4. Marvi mamon and lehari family are not corrupt politicians.similarly maleeha lodhi and asghar khan are very good people who are coming to PTI.This time imran khan should give tickets to those politician who can win election and having a good reputation in public.If PMLN and PPP are so worried about PTI new entrants, why they have opened door to all sorts of politicians.Nawaz sharif family will do anything to win next election as they have been enjoying power since the time of zia ul haq and looting the wealth of our country.

    • yes, this is the change. when people become disgruntle with their old parties and prefer to join hands with the revolutionary forces, this is called change. change does not come from the vacuum. it comes from within the system. it is the leadership of Imran Khan and ideology of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf that will bring the change. All other entrants will help in bringing the change…

  5. nothing works bookish in this country but ppl want imran to follow book in politics the dirtiest of all…..he needs numbers n thts it…n for change…u need to have power and for power u need numbers….go ahead imran…if u dont deliver once in power only then we will stop supporting u….

  6. kaptaan needs 11 to play the match….so get ur numbers in assembly n play well….thts it….dont object before the match ….amamzing …wot other options u have…dictators hav destroyed the country but abt 5 turns of ppp n pml n….they hav a hug role in destruction….get kaptaan in ,he cant b worse than thm atleast…if he doesnt deliver…thn come back to nusrat javed n sana bucha’s options :)simple

    • Kaptan says "Na wo khud jhuka hai kabhi aur na hamain jhukny de ga" He has always given us the pride with or without team.

      He started alone 16 years ago and yes he can do it bcuz we love him.

  7. yes i agree 100% with Shahab here…..He's just hit the nail on the head…Hey buddies,you need numbers to win the assemblies….just throw Imran in and see what he can do for the nation…let the match begin first and then see how things go….if you keep criticizing Imran Khan for taking these politicians in then he won't be able to win majority in the assembly and then you will end up being controlled by the same old political crap once again.Now the choice is yours.

  8. Announcement …. Countrywide hiring continues in Pakistak Tehreek e Insaaf. If you are interested to join, please send your resume to H. R. Manager and Sr. VP Mr. Shah Mehmood Qureshi for evaluation. Please note that your Feudal background is a “Must” while your experience as an Ex. Or Current Member of Assembly will be an asset. Please have your references with a printed history of your Financial stability ready before the interview call

  9. How long will these "heavyweights" stay in PTI if it is made clear to them that they have little chance of being given tickets until they have proved their loyalty to party principles?

    • Actually this will be the true test of the loyalty of new entrants. No one is being promised anything for joining PTI. The tickets will be awarded purely on merit in line with party policy. Those who are denied tickets will be free to leave the party..

  10. Many people are now joining imran khan party for dry cleaning themselves.No doubt imran support and popularity has been on the rise lately but that was due to the fact that people were disappointed with the performance of the main stream parties.ik himself didnt do anything extraordinary to create this support.But since ik lacks political maturity he would make one blunder after another another till the time of elections and thereby lose whatever support he has gained among the people.I expect a mass exodus from pti soon after the elections.

  11. Imran is doing the right thing. He needs numbers to win the election and as long as they are people who are not tarnished they will be fine.
    As for those who complain about them being rejects of other parties, well we have all seen what the cream of those parties have achieved. So they may just be the best of the of those who did get into power and did nothing but loot and destroy the country.
    And everyone deserves to be forgiven for their minor mistakes and to be given a second chance.

  12. this is constituency politics my friends. if imran himself contest from khanewal , he will get only 5 to 10 thousand votes. whereas raza hayat hiraj will easily get 50 thousand votes if he stands for any party or independent. So let them come. this is good sign for party.

  13. Everything is in favour of Imran Khan now and its seems that Inshallah nothing can stop PTI of wining the upcoming election.

  14. We are funny people. Do we know that aftr all that media campaign and all against the fake degree holders Jamshed Dasti had again won? Rural politics is different than Metroplitan ones anmajority of these belong to Rural areas or less developed ones. Policy making is done at the strategic level and the ideologic cader ia there to.do that. I am.going to vote for.IK no matter what happena or what he does only because of the fact that I never tried him and this time I am going to try him.

  15. just win elections for now and later who so ever is not following the decorum and principles throw them out, we only trust IK

  16. The chessboard was already ready for the PTI as Pakistanis are very angry to the previous party coming to rein and breaking there trust to solve there major as well as minor problems.But the fact is that the people joining the PTI are those cultprits who were one way or the other have been the part of those activities which brought Pakistan to such situation.

  17. I dont know much about awais leghari but jamal and jaffer are certainly corrupt.so much for the clean image of PTI…IK is proving to be more of a dissapointment than a messiah we had hoped him to be.

  18. seriously i will still vote for PTI even if all 1000 candidates are the old faces. there is no point in making issues of this. when all these polital figures were in other parties, we all still voted them allbeit with a bit of bad taste in mouth but still we voted them knowing that the party as whole is corrupt including the very top leaders of the parties..but now that we know that the very top leaders of PTI are not corrupt and they are the cleanest available in pakistan we are now making issues of people joining the party? why are we so blind to know that it matters when your leadership is strong. Kaptaan will not handover everything to just anybody. he knows that people like SMQ are important for people in politics to realise that if some one like SMQ can join the party it means this party has the future and that is the sole reason at the moment people are joing PTI so fastly becuase they know someone like SMQ is not fool enough to destroy his career by joining PTI…

    People just wake up..lets not criticise IK. he is not into power yet.. what else has PPP or PML N given us than disgrace? what bad can IK do than these two parties? they have destroyed the whole country… atleast IK will stabalise the country even he cannot make it go forward. atleast he will step down if he won't deliver.. atleast he has this dignity and respect…

    IK is the man to be followed.. PTI is the party of future… PTI should be supported atleast for once we should try to get this party into power..if they fail to deliver then fine we will not support them..so whats the fuss about it..lets not brainwash people. lets push PTI forward..let take them to the cabinet… lets think about a better pakistan…

    • Very Well said… We are with Imran and we love him and our all support to him…
      Once he comes in power and don't do thing right then we have courage to challenge him…. Let's Give him chance….and make way for him to parliament…

  19. well in the end this is POLITiCS and if imran needs to come in power he will have to get the support of these guys . . i just cannot imagine a doctor contesting an election in sargoodha will win . . .imran will have to get these guys to come in power and change the system . . .

  20. It doesn't mean the people who worked with Musharaff are no longer to run election , they are politicians and especially Laghari family they are out spoken , it really give energy to PTi we really need them . Stop murmuring about the people who was in the musharaff regime . Imran khan knows how to run them in next election , they all are patriots I didn't think that these people will create mess .

  21. Yes……Kaptaan is gathering numbers for power in NA…which is a good sign…The real mission will begin when kaptaan will lead those numbers for the betterment of the country…thats all what we need
    Kyu Guys???

  22. Taunts of “One man show” to heavy weights now. I wonder how the opinion of people changes so briskly. If people wants to join PTI irrespective of which party they belong to, so whats all the fuss? It’s their decision to chose any party they want.

  23. just trust Imran Khan! as long as the leadership is clean there is nothing wrong to let people join PTI…. so far it was the corrupt leader ship which made all other also corrupt!!

    the core is clean and that is why all people joining Imran Khan will have to go Imrans way.

    and try to understand rural politics ( watch shah mehmood Jalsa: people said " jo shah sahab kahen ge,, hum wohi karen ge ) . Imran can only change thing by getting in to the power. ( for power he has to win in rural areas )

    and wait until the ( 1000 ) tickets r distributed.

    Imran Khan zindabad!!

  24. Sometimes things have to be done for the greater good. What Imran is doing is just right. He is flexible enough to allow in candidates which are not knee deep in corruption. Ok, so most of them may not have done well in their previous roles, so what. Maybe they were never given the chance to.
    Imran could have worked to save his marriage and to spend lots of time with his kids. But he chose to do great things for his country and for the betterment of his people. And for that I admire him, tremendously….

    Go there Imran, You are the Man.

  25. Great Work Imran ……… We are with you ……… We are tired of PPP & PMLN ….. they should be history ….. you have to sweep …… and you know how to do it ……..

  26. Imran khan is only hope for change… we have to reject these status quo….and imran is there to lead pakistan….In rural areas we need people to contest election and i am least Bothered about these joining PTI… They will win Election for PTI… Imran khan is imporant who will not allow these politicians to do corruption….

  27. Imran Khan is making shrewd moves. But will the forces of status quo bring about the promised change or undermine the efforts of an honest man. My fear is Imran .khan might have to appease all these politicians which will weaken his party. Having said that best of luck to him!

  28. Dont u worry people there wil b dos n donts for people who get in party..leader drives It not the people who come in ..give pti a chance ..

  29. The point is Imran Khan can't import people from heaven, in Pakistan you can't find even 1000 people honest. So Imran Khan is right by opening door to every one. We are with Imran Khan. Napoleon Said: "If you build an army of 100 Dogs and their Leader is a Lion, all dogs will fight like a lion.But,If you build an army of 100 Lions and their Leader is a Dog, all Lions will die like a dog….!"
    “Only LEADERSHIP MATTERS “ . so all my dear friends lets give power to true ,honest and brave leader Imran Khan.

  30. Its a very good sign that everyone is getting in PTI but as Imran khan has used to say ticket will will be given only those who deserves. I am happy that at least Imran khan has done things which seems impossible few months ago.

  31. The people criticising the PTI are the supporters of PPP and PML and we know how honest their politicians are. With PPP and PML ruling the country,it has never been in a better position-everything has been gettingbetter,the looting,murder,etc.

  32. My Dear Young Fellows,
    Leadership is all we must be concerned about. We have complete faith in Imran Khan. He has devised a complete governing body of party and a systematic way to handle all these issues. A candidate will only be able to take ticket of the party after complying with all the defined parameters and procedures of Tehrik-e-Insaf. So I suggest all the youth to trust in top leadership of PTI, and we must be fully confident on their ability to handle these issues. When top leadership is corrupt and loot mafia, a sincere member can't do in this situation, and if the top leadership is sincere to the country then no corrupt element can disrupt the system. I think this will clear all the doubts in our minds.
    Thanks and Regards.

  33. If there is PTI today – in whatever form and popularity, it is only because of Imran Khan. At personal level, he hasn't changed even an inch from the positions he takes on big issues like corruption and bad governance. What if less chaste elements from this dysfunctional society are joining his party in hordes? If Imran doesn't take them, they will go to PML-N which is now embracing everyone. It is a race to the swift and PTI would massively lose if it applies levers of morality at this time. Let that happen at the time of awarding tickets. For the time being, young PTI supporters should try to understand the dynamics of Pakistani politics. They should worry only if Imran Khan changes or compromises his ideals at personal level and that is impossible from this rock-solid man 🙂

  34. Well it will be same old… same old…
    Politics is about winning elections by hook or by crook… and in any civilized society governements are run by the bureaucrats, diplomats and technocrates…
    Politicians are are just the window dressing…
    Once thought than Imran Khan would be a light of hope for poor pakistanis… who will bring a grassroots reform in the country and bring justice and peace…
    But now it looks like its the same old… same old… grab the power even if you have to have crooks, jagirdars, smugglers and looters on your side…
    To all my Pakistani brothers and sisters… real freedom is long way…
    You either need a bloody revolution from the top that only a powerfull general can bring… or a grassroots revolution that will take a decade to materialize… as a matter of fact grassroots revolution have bot even hatched as yet… Imraan Khan was the hope of grassfoots reform and revolution but not any more…
    Can some body ask Imraan Khan what is his manifesto, policies and plan for change?
    You will see another 5 years of Zardari and Choudhry's in Pakistan.
    GOD BLESS PAKISTAN!
