All PTI jiyalayaz, show some guts and show some change, change that PTI talk about bringing instead of whining like losers used to do before.

If nothing else follow your leader Asad Umer who gracefully accepted defeat without any ifs and buts.

On serious note, please next time WORK for Karachi or at least KEEP YOUR PRESENCE in Karachi like you BELONG. 1 or 2 maula-jat styles trips days before elections wont win you seats in Karachi. That is ground reality. First step towards bringing some positive change is to accept the reality. Only after that you can try to change it.

I don’t buy this rhetoric. PTI vote is very much on the rise in affluent areas of Karachi. Likes of Arif Alvi, Ali Zaidi, Asad Umar, Naz Baloch, Imran Ismail and others certainly have their presence (and fan following) in those areas.

If you are talking about usual MQM strongholds, pray tell me, how on earth it would’ve been possible to do campaign in 9-0 without rangers arresting most of MQM target killers and hooligans. Even rangers lost their patience and had to baton charge MQM thugs for stoning offices and burning flags - they are animals! PTI had to plead in media that it is their right to do electoral campaign in 9-0, and they had a clear purpose for visiting such areas. Media constantly had to be on MQM’s case to contain them. Imran Ismail had been a victim of MQM thuggery and attacks since day one of election campaign, do you really think PTI delegate and activists can randomly go to NA-246 and do door to door campaign or any social work without dodging a bullet or bat on their heads? I just stand people who make opposition to MQM in Karachi such an easy peasy thing.

Hopefully, such results would make PTI realise the importance of their young, educated, middle class and ethnically diverse vote bank in Karachi and strengthen their voice. They have found their niche in Karachi and maybe for sometime, just stick to them. If you can’t offer Jiye Muhajir slogans to some areas, don’t bother wasting your time. Time to get practical.
