Re: Fauzia Kasuri joining PMLN
1 was Shireen Mazari, who is certainly first on merit. #2 was Munazza Hassan, who was the women wing president of Pakistan. #3 was Ayla Malik, who was runner up. #4 was Fauzia Kasuri.
Rest of your comments about Imran, women and his kids are non-sensical.
Fauzia knew the rules all along. She could have surrendered her US nationality ages ago, and could have run in the intra party elections. She would have won by a landslide. She chose to let it be till the last moment, perhaps hoping it wont be required.
It is not Imran's job to interfere in the operations of any internal department. It he does, then out goes the concept of democracy and merit.
I know that Shireen Mazari, Munazza Hassan and Fauzia kasuri is working for PTI since ages. Ayla Malik joined party around 2 years ago and has very little contribution to party (other than campaigning for Imran in his constituency). Fauzia Kasuri was President of PTI women wing until March 2013, and was with party since last 17 years (what I remember).
We can also see that all four women names are in the list, that means, when the list was made and forwarded to EC, all 4 were qualifying.
To qualify does not even need party position or need of taking part in party election. Only need should be, who qualify on merit for women list, and merit is related to a person contribution to party most. I think on merit, Fauzia kasuri should have been No 1 or No 2 on the list (most likely, number 1) … certainly not 4.
It does not matter if she would have got elected on reserved seat even on No 1, but to be at No 4 it was unjust ... Zulum man Zulum . :)
Well, if she did not qualified on women seat, than it would have been appropriate for party to ask her to contest on seats that PTI won (Imran won 3 seats) and is going to abandon for by-election. But … no, I do not think she was even offered that.
