Disgruntled former Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Fauzia Kasuri is keeping her options open after resigning from her parent party including an alleged lucrative offer from Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) to contest on NA-48 by-polls, a seat vacated by PTI President Javed Hashmi.
However, Kasuri neither denied, nor accepted having received the offer from PML-N when contacted by Pakistan Today.
Talking to Pakistan Today, Kasuri said she had revoked her dual nationality and therefore had wide options in the political field. She confirmed that she had been contacted by several political parties with various portfolios. She further said she had also been contacted by some civil organisations and non-government organisations (NGOs) and there were many options she was currently weighing. However, she appeared oblivious to reports that she was going to be fielded as PML-N candidate for National Assembly (NA) NA-48 constituency of the federal capital, where PTI will most probably field Asad Umar to defend Hashmi’s victory in the May 11 polls. She asserted that she had not taken a decision on her future as yet and was keeping her options open at the moment.
PML-N has been reportedly actively pursuing Fauzia Kasuri ever since there had been reports of a rift between Kasuri and her former party over distribution of tickets on reserved seats for women. Kulsoom Nawaz had even called Kasuri, inviting her to join the PML-N, according to media reports.
Meanwhile, PML-N’s Rana Sanaullah had also said in a statement that PTI did not acknowledge Kasuri’s services, for which the party would face consequences.
Choon sifla mehda gardad sair, Bar hazaran shore o shar gadad dalair. This is a Persian maxim that means "when a mean stomach gets filled up, it tries to create a lot of mischief". This verse fits FAUZIA KASURI. She belongs to a rich family and besides penchant for more wealth she yearned for power and joined PTI. And travelled all over the world for fundraising with the hope she will land into a lucrative job but her dreams fizzled out. Impatient young lady has no patience and hurriedly abandoned the sinking ship. Likes of her have no sense of sacrifice except heightened greed for power. All her calculations turned wrong answers and she jumped the bandwagon. Alas! alas! Pakistani people should learn to do some sacrifice and have some feelings to realize the sentiments and needs of their poor countrymen. She is a talented young lady with unquenchable flare for power. So is true for her brother-in-law Khurshid Kasuri. How much is too much? That what this filthy rich family does not fathom. They should take some fundamental lessons of mathematics. I wish them success in their pusuits.
She should've acted in a same way as some of loyal PTI workers such as Mr. Faisal Javed Khan…..who despite being a member of PTI for the last 17 years and a resident of Islamabad did not take Asad Umar's nomination for NA48 personally…..this shows that he's not striving for power but instead for his nation and is ready to accept any decision that his leader makes! This is trust which I believe Fauzia Kasuri lacks really badly!
I do wish her all the best & mayhaps this it it the correct decision to leave PTI… for now. Mrs. Kasuri deserves a break but she will quickly realise in PMLN, shes never going to be more than an outsider, she'll be handed a portfolio & told to sit down like an obedient child while the Sharifs do all the talking and controlling. Hardly what the vision she worked on while at PTI.
I hope to see Mrs. Kasuri back in the ranks of PTI one day, she has served so well & has so much potential yet unrealised.
RAZDAN FOUZIA KASURI's math did not produce passing marks. If she truly believed in the philosophy that Imran deeply believed then she should have stayed with the pack ( no matter what) but her ambitions were catching the cake before get gets out of the oven. Unfortunately, the cake turned out to be mirage. Imran's own calculations had everyone believe that the success is round the corner. And lots of FASLI BATERAS and professional opportunists (likes of Fouzia) jumped into the bandwagon with the hope and dreams of becoming recipients of the bounty. If she sincerely believed in Imran's philosophy then she should have stayed with him in all rough times but her dreams did not materialize and she in a spirit of desperation started looking for other venues. They say SUCCESS HAS MANY FATHERS AND FAILURE IS ORPHAN. Hope Pakistani people should learn to suffer hardship to earn their livelihood. If she joins PMLN, that will clearly brand her as opportunist and a confirmed LOTA ( may be GARBEE). It is extremely regrettable situation.
PTI forward block perhaps
