Imran's changing statements

He issued some statements and predictions to put pressure on government and the marriage thing was a joke, can't even believe people are taking it seriously. Absolutely unbelievable how media kept discussing this in most talk shows, i just laughed at it when he mentioned it but sadly it upset a lot of people, REALLY???

PTI’s bizarre proposals - Newspaper - DAWN.COM

WHEN is a resignation not quite a resignation? It seems when it is demanded by the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf.

Determined to secure seemingly even a ‘non-resignation resignation’ to fulfil its original demand that Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif step down, the PTI has mooted a most peculiar set of ideas: the prime minister should, according to the PTI, resign for a short duration while the judicial commission completes its work, and thereafter resume office if the commission’s findings do not warrant fresh elections. In the annals of global political history, it would be difficult to find an example that would match the PTI’s extremely bizarre proposal. For what, exactly, would Prime Minister Sharif’s temporary resignation achieve?

Consider that the very elections that the PTI is disputing were held under a caretaker government. Clearly then, even within the PTI’s scheme of things, if the PML-N was allegedly able to rig an election when not in office, could it not affect the outcome of a judicial inquiry when the party has governments at both the centre and in the principally electorally disputed province of Punjab?

Or is the PTI arguing that it is Nawaz Sharif and he alone who is able and willing to distort elections and inquiries, and that with Mr Sharif temporarily on the side lines, the PML-N governments in the centre and in Punjab would miraculously become independent bodies that will discover the world the way the PTI sees it?

Or does the PTI secretly hope that nominating a stop-gap prime minister would bring in a national government of sorts through the back door, giving the party a say in who the temporary leader should be? The latest PTI suggestion is as ludicrous and off-putting as several that have come before it.

At this point, it is worth asking who is advising Imran Khan. Shah Mehmood Qureshi has taken a central role in the present crisis and has been both extremely visible and active. The former PPP foreign minister has forged a reputation of sorts of having political ambitions that perhaps do not quite match his political stature. Is Mr Khan listening to the wrong man? Or is that wrong man Mr Khan himself?

That Mr Khan could in fact be on a solo flight, with his PTI colleagues struggling to keep up, is a possibility that was further reinforced on Friday as Mr Khan suggested that his quest for a so-called new and improved Pakistan was in part tied to his desire to get married again.

Allow that proposition to sink in for a moment. Thousands of people assembled outside parliament, a country held hostage to a political crisis, and Mr Khan has his mind on personal affairs and marriage, even if he attempted to qualify his remarks later. Is Imran Khan a serious politician a pop star or, sadly, just a pop-star politician?

How about comparing Pakistan with someone closer in timeline? India is a day younger and Malaysia 10 years younger.

I'd like to see a reference if it is fresh, if true this pathetic statement, probably another proof of his cowardice

Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan (right) and former Chief Justice of Pakistan Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry (left).—File photo

ISLAMABAD: Shortly after a letter detailing the PTI chairman’s response to the ex-chief justice was circulated by the media on Monday, Imran Khan said he stands by his statements regarding Iftikhar Chaudhry’s alleged involvement in rigging the May 2013 elections.
In a tweet followed by an address to sit-in participants, Imran said he rejects reports that he lauded the former top judge.
Founding PTI member Imran Ismail said the said letter had been drafted by the lawyer without consultation with Imran Khan.
When contacted by Dawn, Khan’s counsel Hamid Khan said the letter specifically addressed the legal notice served by Iftikhar Chaudhry and was formulated after discussion with the PTI Chairman.
The letter was sent to the former chief justice’s legal team on August 12, he said.
[HR][/HR]Imran ‘did not abuse judiciary’[HR][/HR]On July 25, the former chief justice had sent a Rs20 million defamation notice to the PTI chairman.
However, in a written response to the libel notice which emerged today, Khan’s lawyers said he did not mean to “abuse or disrespect any member of the judiciary”, and urged the former chief justice to “reconsider the idea of entering into personal litigation”.
The letter, filed by Advocate Hamid Khan and dated August 2, said: “Our client has high respect and regard for the judiciary as an institution and would continue to do so in the future.
“We believe that whatever has been said by our client was an expression of disappointment due to the failure of the ECP and the judiciary to dispense justice to him and his party at every level. The language used may not be appropriate but unfortunately so is the nature of discourse during public meetings and political press conferences. He did not mean any of the what you have quoted him to have said. It was only an expression of protest and disappointment stated rather in strong terms.”
Addressing Iftikhar Chaudhry, the letter added: “We believe that it may not be appropriate for a former Chief Justice of Pakistan to enter into any personal litigation. We are aware that your focus has always been on rendering service to the country and did never care about making money…In any case, our lawyer never meant to cause any mental agony or torture or harassment or humiliation to you.”
“We hope that you will reconsider the idea of entering into personal litigation,” it added.
