Fauzia Kasuri joining PMLN

Re: Fauzia Kasuri joining PMLN

I hope they make some use of common sense and arrange a meeting between IK and Fauzia Kasuri. Every reasonable option should be tried before letting go off such valuable member of the party. I'd like to be hopeful and say that they may very well be able to reach some sort of solution if IK himself take a direct control of the issue.

Re: Fauzia Kasuri joining PMLN

it is such a shame..I didn't expect it from her...or the party....what I don't understand is..she always knew that NO ONE will be given preferential treatment by IK, so why all this drama now?

I really wish ppl would just talk face to face like the good old days...or even over the damn phone instead of letting the whole world see all this drama!

Re: Fauzia Kasuri joining PMLN

If you follow ImranKhan & Shireen Mazari on twitter, you will know Imran Khan does not use his twitter handle himself mostly and only posts one line comments mostly. sometimes Shireen Mazari does it too but in a different style to hers. Yesterday, obviously overtaken by emotions she praised herself from that account in a very obvious way (just like she tweets from her own account) and its not just me who thought that. Thousands of PTI supporters guessed it immediately.

Re: Fauzia Kasuri joining PMLN

Firstly, it seems the PTI is only a one-man show. I do not see any other top leader of the party to intervene in this issue. Secondly, be it IK, FK, AU, Shireen or Shafqat, everyone was just happy to battle it out on Twitter. What a shame!

Re: Fauzia Kasuri joining PMLN

Also I would agree that Ayla Malik is not any freekin "special" either (please no tasteless comments - I know the web is full of bakwas), but if Ms. Kasuri would allow time to show, then things themselves work it out. It would be clear who was really qualified in the long run.

Re: Fauzia Kasuri joining PMLN

I was not even half as hurt of defeat as I am of this ugly episode. I just cannot believe that IK would take this so casually and let every Tom, Dick and Harry make fun of the party. You cannot behave with a founding member like you do to a passer-by. Talk-shows have so much PTI fodder and the top leadership seems to be daydreaming of something unknown.

Re: Fauzia Kasuri joining PMLN

probably because they cannot face each other for what they have been upto in some matters known to them?

Re: Fauzia Kasuri joining PMLN

by the way those who are saying she didn't took it on to official channels i think she did. She has been tweeting (again tweet smack) about filing a review application with PTI CEC Through Hamid Khan (probably he's the one who committee has designated to accept and process such requests) but she did not get any response, she raised issue with IK on email and didn't get any response either, and that's when she took it to public channels.

Overall, the way she acted is immature and not worth of person of her stature, PTI response was also not well cooked one. It looked like some amateur political wanna-be teens talking to each other.

but out of this whole drama few things have come out very clear
1) FK doesn't have what it takes to be a statesman (or stateswoman), as a NA member if she were given some very high profile assignment, she could have come across times when one needs to act selfless in decision making, she could surely fail there.

2) Although party has a CEC in place, but CEC's own members refused to accept its decision, and failed other members to adhere to what was agreed. They continued to look upto Imran Khan, more like a one man show. If Imran is out of scene, everything will go to hibernation.

3) as some people are claiming that it was SM who tweeted from IK's handle, and she does this many times, and IK also uses that account sometimes. Then its very unprofessional of her to write her own praises from that handle. Its also very unprofessional for the party to not clearly state that who uses it. there should be some distinction with such messages about who's messages it is, with what capacity.

4) further strengthened the stance of those who said PTI is group of people politically not mature/ experienced enough, they don't hold the credentials/ credibility to run the country.

On the other hand, look at the CM ship issue of balochistan? Sanaullah Zehri of noon league was strongest candidate, he had many reasons to be CM. if you talk about sacrifice, he lost his own son and brother during the election campaign for party. he was the provincial head of the party. Yet the situation was tackled very nicely, that whole episode ended with making N$ look good throughout political arena of the country. Even his staunch opponents had no choice but to appreciate his decision, irrespective of what was real motif behind it or what will be the next step or how he can nullify the feel-good atmosphere with one "bongi-maring" which he's good at as well.

to me it looks like FK is now a lost cause for PTI, she still can continue as a freelancer, grow her political status during the next 5 years, and make a comeback as an independent, or get into some social work and make it a point to prove that she made all sacrifice for "INSAF" as she claims so much in her every other tweet. If she joins PMLN or decides to run independent against AU now, it will be her political suicide.

Re: Fauzia Kasuri joining PMLN

Fauzia Kasuri's Press Conference has been rescheduled to 6pm today at the Islamabad Press Club. At the moment, Aleema Khan and Rani Apa (Imran Khan's sisters) are at Fauzia Kasuri's house, in their personal capacity, to try and convince her not to leave PTI.

Aceones · June 5, 2013, 10:17am

Re: Fauzia Kasuri joining PMLN

so again same mistake which IK accuses others, Family in politics smack why someone from party leadership cannot do this job which IK's sisters are doing? why not someone from CEC of PTI? or Imran didn't trust anyone from CEC and conveyed his personal message to FK via sisters?

mistakes after mistakes, one reinforcing the earlier

^ and then we talk about gender equality : /
i believe, this whole reserved seats for women business is wrong to begin with

Re: Fauzia Kasuri joining PMLN

Either Imran doesn't trust the CEC or its the CEC who has ruined the situation almost beyond repair now or its Fauzia K herself who has simply refused to respect CEC's word on anything. Fauzia K has been calling for Imran's direct involvement for quite some time so I think sending his sisters as mediators is the best he could do, his own personal involvement would've set a very bad precedent.

Imran's sisters are still part of the political party. I think Imran criticizes family politics in terms of preferential treatment and power sharing not that family members cannot be part of the preliminary political process.

Ali_Syed · June 5, 2013, 10:40am

Re: Fauzia Kasuri joining PMLN

I think this issue could have been solved amicably long ago. I still believe there's no conflict resolution process in PTI. Secondly how come Khattak and Asad Qaisar still holding party portfolios even after becoming chief minister and speaker of KPK? This way the party would continue to suffer.

Sohaib · June 5, 2013, 10:45am

Re: Fauzia Kasuri joining PMLN

PTI's CEC met with FK yesterday. Not all but some core members.

Jolie · June 5, 2013, 10:48am

Re: Fauzia Kasuri joining PMLN

It was Javed Hashmi who said when he decided to leave PMLN, it was women from Nawas family and wives of other top party leaders who wholeheartedly tried to persuade him to change his decision, when every other method failed to stop him from leaving the party. So I guess all these senior/founding members to some extent do end up becoming part of the general family, so for them what really starts off as party based political dispute ends up as emotional family drama because of the personal closeness they all share with each other.

Sohaib · June 5, 2013, 10:54am

Re: Fauzia Kasuri joining PMLN

I believe that PTI's second tier leadership canNOT function without Imran Khan. They are so disjointed, emotional & act like typical pakistani politicians (leg pulling and all). Imran Khan is indisposed & FK chose the worst possible time to air her displeasure & conflict. But she also knew that IK wont be able to do much considering his inactivity so better bow out now.

PTI is acting like a leaderless mob now in IK's absence which it should not. Shudder to think what will happen to it if & when IK leaves chairmanship. This is why reforms are needed within the party to institutionlise it even more. Hope to see some positive results out of this unholy mess.
