Though the candidacy of women members of the Parties involved in the NA-120 election was initially seen as a progressive step in the political atmosphere of the country, the recent jingoist rhetoric from both sides of the polls is undoubtedly akin to taking two steps back.

Anila Butt, ‘Member Advisory Board Youth Wing PTI London’, was recently appointed to her designation on the 8th of August 2017.  Appointed her position in light of her ‘constant hard work and dedication’ to the party, Anila Butt posted a string of tweets targeting the PML-N nominee for NA-120, Kulsoom Nawaz.

 

Leg pulling and point scoring may be common in Pakistan and politics in general but most would agree that to ridicule a disease as that of cancer is most definitely in bad taste.

The PTI worker did not limit herself to one tweet that may have slipped through the cracks but in fact went on to post a string of tweets that further perverse inexcusable territory. The candidacy of Kalsum Nawaz and whether she is fit for the nomination is a political question but to target her and her sickness as a ploy to ‘gain public sympathy’ makes Anila and the political party that she represents reach a new low.

 

 

The tweets probably would not have been seen as offensive had she been a normal party supporter , given the plethora of hate and scathing remarks exchanged between pakistani party supporters on the regular, the issue arises when a party authorised worker with a public political following goes on to exhibit such behaviour.

  1. The comments are reflect poor taste. An individual with a serious disease deserves empathy and sympathy. However the shariff family also gives out conflicting statements about Mrs. Nawaz shariff. Has she cancer of throat or a lymphoma.? Treatments are different and so is prognosis. Serious health issues and politics are incompatible.

  2. Yes,it sounds true that ‘PANAMA affected royals’ use their physical sickness as political leverage.And, noteworthy is the query why in 30 years rulership of Punjab,they could not establish a world class hospital even in the provincial capital. Apparently, the so-called illness is employed as an excuse for Kulsoom Nawaz to stay in Mayfair London during the election campaign.Another insult to the masses of NA120.So, the narrative is not bought by the masses in Pakistan who recently got acquainted with the #honesty” of “SHARIFS” during Panama leaks trial.

  3. Speaks of sick minds in a party which claims to be a party of change.
    Please excuse us; we are happy without such change.

    • And who may you be? A nobody, wanna be something? Such a shame that low ppl submit low things just to score political points. Have you seen a latest picture circulating social media in which so called person who had surgery yesterday, is sitting today with not even a mark on her neck!! A miracle cure??
