Should the PTI continue to grieve over ‘stolen’ seats?

Don’t mislead us also by suggesting that PML-N would have ‘willingly’ accepted PTI’s demand for a judicial inquiry into the rigging allegations. They delayed and resisted IK’s demands for as long as they could before finally caving in under dharna pressure. As distasteful as it is, let’s not be in any doubt whatsoever, without dharna there would not have been any judicial inquiry into the rigging.

I am not a fan of dharna or street tamasha (did not support IK’s demand of PM resignation) but there were three good outcomes from it

• The government finally agreed to set up a judicial commission
• Maryam Nawaz finally resigned as chairperson of PMYDP
• Ex-CJ’s dheet son did not take up the lucrative post (offered to him by CM Balochistan without merit)

Well said.

Anti PTI members when it seems convenient say of course there should be pressure on the government, but at the same they fail to realise that it is only PTI/supporters/or pro PTI lobby that puts any kind of pressure on the government - not anti PTI forces and critics. Can you really count on anti PTI lobby to put any kind of pressure on the government or do some serious opposition. No! Take PTI out of the equation, there is absolutely no criticism and opposition to the government in anti PTI camp.

PTI is probably not perfect, maybe that’s why it is neither in the power nor the opposition leader. They have set their standards too high, and people punish them for not meeting those standards. They struggle to win lone constituencies. Okay fine. Laws of nature.

Now can they tell you why parties like PMLN/PPP are in power when everyone knows they are far worse than PTI, they don’t even bother making any promises, don’t have any high standards to begin with then why do people elect them again and again, and why they are no way subject the same scrutiny, condemnation, resistance that PTI is subjected to? Again the only group that actually opposes these parties is PTI or its supporters.

What kind of pathetic sense of moral and intellectual bankruptcy is reflected through the logic that the only reason you gang up on a party, stick them against the wall and crucify them because they had dared set the bar too high? So all Imran has to do is quit saying that he strives for something bigger and better, and all these PTI haters will leave him alone? Is that how it works. His only crime is that he raised the bar too high?

The PTI bashing is so depressingly disproportionate to the criticism PMLN receives.

It’s like bloody Zionists who show moral outrage on Palestinians kids throwing stones at Israeli tanks, instead of answering why there are Israeli tanks parked in occupied to begin with? What’s the main and bigger issue there?

What should be the focus of the criticism - fed up and frustrated Palestinian kids throwing stones on tanks or Israeli forces throwing high tech chemical weapons?

Government ran expensive ad campaigns on national TV for Ayaz Sadiq - I bet anti PTI critics don’t even the guts either acknowledge this or call it wrong. Their strategy is to focus so much picking on nitty gritties with in regard to PTI that likes of PMLN manages to get away with everything - literally everything.
