Re: Fauzia Kasuri joining PMLN

Where did Imran’s dictation come into the picture here? The parliamentary committee and the EC made collective decisions. It would have been dictatorial, had Imran been calling shots single handedly. I think you guys have got it the other way around.

Just because we are dealing with a lady here, the emotion factor has kicked into high gear for everyone. True that she is/was a great asset to the party, but rules cannot be bent for anyone on any pretext. You do it once, you do it all the time. And that effectively makes you a non-democratic party.

Imran wisely stayed away from interfering in this, because if he does it once, he will be called upon to do it again and again. If that was the case, then why the need to form all these internal departments and appointments? And what happens if IK is gone? Party folds?

Fauzia is right to expect respect for her 17 years of service, but not right to expect favors. That goes against the spirit of democracy. True, there must have been problems at various levels, but she could have fought them within the party, rather than asking for inductance based on her service tenure.

If PTI had gotten enough seats to allow 4 women from Punjab, she wouldnt be talking about this issue at all. But its obvious she has a personal issue with the 3 women who were listed ahead of her in the list. And personal beefs dont go well with democracy.

Imran is God (nauzubillah).

Happy?
