Re: Multan By election and Shah Mahmood Qureshi…
If free and fair elections are held today PTI would have lesser seats than 2013, situation has changed for PTI since 2013. Imran Khan preferred to base all his politics on one issue (rigging in the previous elections) while ignoring real issues people were facing. In our politics ‘optics’ do matter, people would favor “Shahbaz” standing in knee deep water (no one would question him about the reason of water in the streets) as compared to that who does not show up when his voters are in trouble. People prefer those candidates who are on their side in their sorrow and happiness. PTI lost a lot of support in Rawalpindi (as depicted by CB elections), can one ask IK how many times he has visited that constituency? IK preferred to do a jalsa in Multan as compared to visiting those who voted for his candidate in 2013. Still lost that constituency and now how can he beg for votes from Ismailis?
He was saying that he would do real opposition, can some one tell me how many proceedings of National assembly has he attended? How many issues of public importance has he raised? People’s issue is not what happened in 2013, lets take this one though (as this is the only point which PTI has raised during the past 2 years), what role has PTI played in reforming the electoral system? PMLN has strengthened during the past two years at the expense of PTI.
