What about likes of Aysha Gulaley or Zartaj Gul Wazir? Zartaj Gul Wazir has led male dominated jirgas in KPK!
Let’s not generalise Pakistani society just because pretty women like Reham Khan or Maryam Nawaz are not liked in politics because they are seen as symbol of dynastic politics, and no, it’s not all about KPK, the vast majority of PTI supporters, sympathiser and critics who opposed Reham’s involvement in politics are not even KPK based! Let’s not forget that before Reham Khan decided to become the face of PTI, PTI had women like Fauzia Kasuri, Zahra Apa, Shareeen Mizari, Undaleeb, Naz Baloch doing all the gritty work and representing the party when it was not even half as popular as it is now, and their leadership was never seen as an issue.
So much for our society not treating women right, we are the only Muslim country that elected a female Prime Minister twice, and actually popularly supported her. And let’s not forget that if BB was alive, she would have given IK a run for his money.
Let’s just admit that people of Pakistan got too accustomed with not seeing any of IK’s relatives taking a lead role in politics in 19 years of his incredibly tough political struggle, and for most that was probably one of the fundamental reasons they supported him for too long against all other political shortcomings. Reham Khan’s speech in Haripur was beyond pathetic. It was disgustingly foolish and embarrassing, and it pains me to say I’ve heard Bilawal make a better speech. She destroyed it for herself by coming across as too over ambitious, over clever, over confident and glorifyer of her own bhabi brand.
As with your reference to Samantha Cameron, unlike UK, Pakistani politics is infested with family politics at every level. We don’t have a UK style party system where parties have produced all kinds of first couples that come and go, Pakistani politics is still very much a fan club or business empire of certain political families, so yes it is better for parties like PTI to draw a strict line than trend in grey areas.
First of all, it is about not be a hypocrite as Imran already criticizes family politics of other parties (same like his liberal lifestyle and then support of taliban). The other thing is that when PTI has become an institution unlike imran’s personal party like how he suspended Justice Wajih for not following ‘orders’ then we can start comparing to UK. Reham is a sharp person and as another poster said, she could perhaps be a better leader of PTI, but she should have thought of that before marrying imran.

Zindagi may sab kuch nahin milta..**
exactly...i have been saying the same from day 1...why cant she attend events. yes no special protocol for her but why banning her?
and what is more shameful is IK attitude. he himself admitted that poor reham attended these events because he and PTI leadership insisted reham to come visit NA 246 and then NA 119. so she did it. Now Imran instead of supporting her is abandoning her under public pressure. wah khan sahib wah.
Imran Khan's attitude is going to be shameful whether he allows Reham to attend jalsa and when he asks her not to attend jalsa. Reham attended a jalsa on candidate's request and there were countless talk shows criticising Imran's promotion of family politics even though he has NEVER given any position to his family members for 2 decades. He clarified so many times that she will NOT be contesting elections and hold any party position. He still maintains that he would never stop Reham from taking part in politics as it's right to be political but she won't be getting party position unless she contests elections. People still find it shameful????
So anyone not supporting PTI and accepting IK as godly figure is slave...
But anyone, may it be as filthy as Aleem Khan or Jazi Khan or Pervaiz Khatak...list is too long..but if even these kind accept IK as godly personalty and donate generously.... They are equal to saints...
Where did I ever support the feudals that have joined PTI. If anything I have always been very critical of JT and SMQ etc. Said many times that PK is useless. I am not a hardcore PTI fan or blind supporter of IK. There are indeed some unsavoury people within PTI like Gundapur and Aleem Khan etc. but I have not seen them use such baazari language (as Rana and Hanif habitually do). Perhaps you are intelligent enough to see the difference.
Justice Wajihuddin should be reinducted into the party. He was hard done by PTI and IK. I appreciate his sincerity and his work on reforms but at the same time party members cannot spill the beans like that in public otherwise there will be no discipline and it would be next to impossible to run the party.
As I have mentioned before, the major drawback with party-based or parliamentary politics is that one has to abide by the decisions of the party's central executive committee 'in the name of party discipline' even if it means telling blatant lies to the public. In the UK you have party backbenches and whips (who make sure that backbenches don't say things outside the party line esp. before a general election!) within every parliamentary party.
I prefer the US-style presidential system where you essentially vote for the best candidate (rather than a party) and the president does not have to worry about keeping his support intact by giving ministries or other bribes to fellow party members or other parties. He chooses his own cabinet which could just comprise of technocrats if he so wishes.
And I have never voted in a Pak election as overseas Pak still cannot vote
Why should Reham be barred from politics? We have examples of Fatima Jinnah, BB & Maryam Nawaz in politics.
Fatima Jinnah I believe was active in politics even before. As for BB and Maryam they are in it because of their fathers, otherwise nobody would even consider them for party offices. PTI made all the noise about family dynasty and all that, why join the criminals now?
^ family politics is like family business . Son/daughter of owner when comes into the business take up higher position directly not starting from lower ranks .

Benazir never joined the politics in her father's life , she was forced by killing of her father by traitor dictator Zia . Same with Bilawal Bhutto
Maryam & Reham are different case .

So, Benazir went on foreign official trips with daddy as what? How about her husband? Was he forced into politics as well? How about Benazir and Zard taking their kids to foreign trips when in power? Making a will to pass on chairmanship of party to son and husband?
Bilawal? They called official party headquarters as bilawal house.
Why lie so much to make a case when you don't need to.

Benazir was working officially with foreign office , not in politics
The Bilawal house is their home So they named it with their new born son those days
Using home as party office should be no trouble for you
Kaptan is a U-Turn specialist and Reham is on a duty
You can not stop long the Reham
Pray for life of Kaptan , Don’t worry about Bilawal Bhutto and others
