Well if you had only read the Wall Street Journal … it was very explicit on what he said … if that is not the case … then why is the High commisioner in UK explaining on what he said …
Pakistan’s top diplomat in London says Pakistan is opposed to outside militants engaging in “cross-border terrorism” in Kashmir.

Anyway if did not say it … then how can you accuse him of saying it 
Re: Imran Khan, Qazi Sahab and other refused to attend closed door session
Great job derailing the thread. Lets talk about Zardari and Altaf instead of Imran and Qazi not attending assembly session.
Re: Imran Khan, Qazi Sahab and other refused to attend closed door session
^ Who called this close door session again? Was it not Zardari?
Imran Khan had a prior commitment abroad for a charity event for the charity hospital. I think it is not right to pull out of a charity event so don't blame Imran for not attending.
Qazi is a tosser and he just did as expected from a tosser like him !!
**Imran Khan had a prior commitment abroad **for a charity event for the charity hospital. I think it is not right to pull out of a charity event so don't blame Imran for not attending.

Can you please point out a credible article which shows that Imran had prior commitment and he did not mean to "boycott" the meeting?
Though, if it were me I'd probably go this meeting than the charity/funding.

Re: Imran Khan, Qazi Sahab and other refused to attend closed door session
^ wow im impressed, you are on the PTI forums too?
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Central Information Secretary, Omar Cheema has said that Imran Khan wont be able to attend the in-camera session of Parliament as he was invited by the government due to his pre-planned overseas trip. PTI wanted to send another representative of the party but the government had only invited the party head.
So it was not because he did not think the President was legit … Pakistan is burning and he was to go " foreign" … as it is he spends more time in UK then in Pakistan …
Well dont know about charity … but he is going to Australia this time 7 will be " special guest" … Imran Khan International cricketer … tickets $ 3

Re: Imran Khan, Qazi Sahab and other refused to attend closed door session
guys, he is not attending because of the already-scheduled trip to Australia - as some of you have mentioned. PTI has been arranging that trip since September .... there are several events he is supposed to attend there.
Whereas this so-called in-camera session invitation was given a day or two before he was scheduled to fly to Australia .... that's unfair. If PPP wanted national figures all over the country to attend it, they should have given a prior notice so that they could have re-arranged their commitments.
PTI offered an alternative party leader to attend the session, but govt. did not accept it.
Re: Imran Khan, Qazi Sahab and other refused to attend closed door session
What is more important, the country or foreign trips. Well Imran has told us his preference. Shame on him.
Re: Imran Khan, Qazi Sahab and other refused to attend closed door session
Why do we have so many expectations from Imran?
He is the best spokesman for militants, and is onboard on everything with Qazi.

Exactly, one cant call off 10-20 events abroad just like that, especially when all arrangements have been made. Also, personally I dont think Zardari's calls for everyone to sit down will do any good, not after he continues to make frivolous statements that is doing the exact opposite thing of uniting leaders. His own ally Maulana Fazlur yesterday said he was extremely unhappy with Zardari's lambasting of Kashmir in the press. Bringing leaders together in this manner, I dont think it will work.

These type of sessions are not called every other day, while events abroad could've been delayed. I don't think this session would've lasted for weeks or even days.

What is more important, the country or foreign trips. Well Imran has told us his preference. Shame on him.
When Rome was burning, Nero was playing his flute! Pakistan is burning and our Neros are doing foreign trips ! It happens.

Re: Imran Khan, Qazi Sahab and other refused to attend closed door session
Aus event is on 11th I am sure we will see Immi Bhai on different channels bashing Govt for 2-3 more days before boarding for foreign trips. He should have utilized the time for betterment of country.
Re: Imran Khan, Qazi Sahab and other refused to attend closed door session
Looks like Zardari’s little meeting is failing, though its been adjourned till Thursday
By Absar Alam
ISLAMABAD: Dissatisfied with the contents of Wednesday’s briefing, the parliamentarians are unwilling to grant the much-needed “seal of approval” to the government on its policy of war on terror and a heated question-answer session is expected today.
Not only that the parliamentarians are likely to question the success of the military operations being conducted in the tribal areas and Swat, they would also want former President/Chief of Army Staff Pervez Musharraf to appear before the joint House and explain the rationale of the policy that has brought war to the doorsteps of each Pakistani.
It was learnt that the parliamentarians across the divide want to extend their support to the military. However, it is their demand that they must be told all the facts about the war on terror that have led the country to come to this pass.
“It’s an eyewash,” a member of the Parliament told The News after the briefing given to the joint session by DG Military Operations Ahmed Shuja Pasha. “And we will not give a seal of approval to this flawed strategy.”
The first sign of dissatisfaction was shown by the parliamentarians at a meeting of the House Business Committee minutes before the joint session when they refused to accept what they termed “bulldozing” of the proceedings in a single sitting followed by just a 30-minute question-answer session.
“It’s the issue of life and death of Pakistanis, and we need to discuss it threadbare, flagging the weak areas and suggesting modifications in the strategy,” one of the participants of the House Business Committee said. “We don’t want to be seen as a rubber stamp Parliament that Musharraf used to exploit in the past to serve his personal political interests.”
The outcome of the Committee meeting was that the question-answer was extended to four hours followed by a four-day in-camera discussion on the issue.
It was learnt that in Thursday’s question-answer session the parliamentarians would want to know the complete range of Pakistan’s policy on war on terror and the concessions General Musharraf had arbitrarily granted to Washington.
The DGMO will also have to satisfy the parliamentarians why Musharraf kept the nation and state institutions, including the Pakistan Army, in the dark about what he had agreed with the Americans.
The four-day discussion that would start on Monday would not be the end of this debate as the Parliament would ask the military authorities to bring before it complete blueprint of the policy that it would follow in the troubled region.
“The Parliament would discuss the pros and cons of the future policy on war on terror and only then would give a go ahead,” a parliamentarian said. “They cannot satisfy us with the details of what happened in the past. We want to know why and how did we come to this stage, who is responsible for it and what are the options in front of us to choose from for a future course of action.”
To know about the future plan of action, another in-camera session would be arranged later this month in which the military high command will give a future layout of the policy on war on terror and the military operations.
Okay so the session can go on upto **10 days **but it already started, why couldn’t he attend the session now? Is this whole week booked somewhere else too? Is he out of Pakistan already?
Re: Imran Khan, Qazi Sahab and other refused to attend closed door session
When 99% of the parliamentarians are disagreeing, doesnt make an iota of a difference if Imran shows up or not.
This is a little surkhi in an Urdu paper, and perhaps those criticizng him on taking foriegn trips should ask their own leader to come back from his permanent foriegn trip to solve such problems.
Re: Imran Khan, Qazi Sahab and other refused to attend closed door session
^And what to do about those "leaders" who don't live in Pakistan to begin with?
Personally, i think Imran Khan should have attended at the brief period of the session in the hopes of putting differences aside and bringing forth issues that others may not intentionally talk about. He did not have to be an attendee to the entire session since he's not officially required to.
