i 100% agree with you haris! thje most notable and highlighted points are 5 n 6.i mean seriously!!? he never mentioned or bothered to influence in future the severed situation karachitties have been facing since months,just a concert hype u gathered out of the weakness of your hero status in the form of young ppll?? n the funnist point is really no 4.how can ppl in late 50s n 70s represent youth?? lol.fingeres crossed.may Allah bless Pakistan,ameen

very niceeeeee…..

is this all that you can muster up??? On a serious note, this article showed nothing but a below average effort to catch some attention of a struggling author… A humble request to the news editor, please post something constructive for your readers to read. Thank you

My dear brother!!!!

I am not that into politics and all but if I think neutrally about your views I only find this.

1) Keeping in view his commitments you should appreciate that he appears in that short time otherwise I remember other Politicians coming at the end of the Jalsa till they know that handsome amount of audience is present to praise them.

2) I am also not in favor of displaying guns in public but what does body guard means if they don’t have gun??? And that is for his security and now a days you know the situation around Karachi better than me. What you want to lose another good Politian just like Benezir?

3) I am sure if IK gives you the example of Nawaz/Zardari then you will not like it either.

4) The way Pakistan politics is like you will only vote where your father gives the vote, and you father will only give the vote to his local member whom he knows from very long time (weather he is good or bad). Secondly IK has to get support and as for as I know no new generation Politian is as popular as the old one. I know the old Politian reputation is not that good. But what other choice IK have you can suggest that to him.

5) What you want to be in open ground with no arrangements, no stage and want IK to hold loudspeaker in hand and running in crowd like a singer?

6) Think positive bro!!!

7) All these issues are ground realities of the country and its right to address these, whether he can solve it or not that we can only know once he is in power to do that.

Last but not the least you should think more broadly in interest of nation and not to think in personal prospective.

Bro Imran Khan is the biggest Liar in Pakistan. He has changed his words and agendas atleast 10 times in past 2 years. Just google his videos from past 2 years and compare them to his new lies.

1 thing i hate about you Mr is…”YOU”

are you out of your mind? what are u hating him about. Have you heard all the speeches? Many members already hailed Quaid-e-Azam before him. By saying that i will be like him, and Quaid e Azam was the one no one could ever point finger at and all was infact praising the great quaid.

Secondly almost all the main stream members of PTI had to address and people would still coming in the jalsa gah till late evening. What do you want to see? Imran sitting there at 2 PM and wait for his turn for around 5 hours??

Please and before calling these lota’s, do you even have any idea what reputation these men hav? Javed Hashmi, SMQ, Azhar etc.. You might rethink before writing such stuff just to get attention.

Get a life a-hole

Good critisism,but tell me dont you or any of your family or friends ever affected by load sheading,gas sharing,looting,curruption??? only if you are excepitionally living in Presidential or PM palaces…Atleast IK is making us think positive even if he dosent do a thing?? 1 finger at other and 4 comes back on you….as you said..please take this as constructive criticism

haris tohid as long as you hated we dont really give a damn about it . by the way how much you make for writing this all crapy 7 points.

Please also suggest, if we currently have an alternative except for Imran Khan

Dear Haris,
Nobody can deny with what you have quoted in your article. But I think this is the time to look at broader aspects/ larger interests of Pakistan. I think the point you are trying to make in your article is that IK is a human being (who cant be perfect) and not an angel which for a fact we all know; however, in my opinion he is the probably a better option for Pakistan. If you do not agree with this, then kindly come up with an alternate solution who in your opinion can save Pakistan from the current crisis???

Fully agreed.
I think PTI supporters are gonna go after you like crazy so watch out. They may delcare you enemy of state.
Last thing the kind of money that was spend in IK Jalsa is crazy. He could have easily made another cancer hospital with it. I mean 10′s of crore rupees for a jalsa.
Talk about Change

is this all that you can muster up??? On a serious note, this article showed nothing but a below average effort to catch some attention of a struggling author… A humble request to the news editor, please post something constructive for your readers to read. Thank you

Haris Tohid, I can answer to all the seven arguments you raised but they are so much juvenile that deserve to be ignored just like a six month year old baby….

Perhaps People like you never write on the lie’s of PPP + PML-N ….. that were uncovered through WIKI-LEAK’s. Thumbs up brother !!!

7 Things I Liked about PTI Jalsa in Karachi

1) In previous jalsa at Minar-e-Pakistan Lahore, other parties, and mainly PML(N) had criticized PTI that numbers of people attended the jalsa were not accurately told by PTI. They were of point of view that only 50000 chairs could be accommodated in ground,so claim of attending millions of people was not right. But later on PML (N) leader Pervaiz Rashid retreated from his statement, and also didn’t resign. This time in Karachi jalsa, not a single party dared to point out the number game. As it was a huge unity jalsa in the histry of Pakistan, which shaked the two major ruling corrupt parties. This was a PTI success. I congratulate PTI workers, and management. The opponents were defeated by a convincing margin. All kinds of attendees were present in the jalsa, including children, youth, females, and aged people. So, It was not a fashion show, I would say it was a unity jalsa.
2) The mazar-e-quaid ground was filled with masses around 4 pm, and then all PTI team came there. It took almost three and half hours for speeches of PTI leaders before IK speech. Just imagine that people were through out enthusiastic and responsive to their leaders’ slogans and speeches. IK got speech for around 44 minutes. So it was not like that people were gathered in the ground, and leaders were not there. It was extremely interactive jalsa between PTI leaders and masses.
3) There was no atmosphere of scarceness in jalsa’s attendees, and jalsa’s speaker, as it is mostly seen in Karachi’s uncertain environment. IK was given security outside the ground. In jalsaga, there was no barrier between people and IK. Can you imagine this in Karachi? Because IK is in Pak’s masses, so he doesn’t need security and barriers. What about PM procession towards Bilawal’s house amid 40 vehicles and bundle of security’s personnel?
4) He gave pertinent details of roadmap to make Pakistan a prosperous corruption free, and Islamic welfare state based on (a) educational justice, (b) economic justice, and (c) rule of law. Is it possible to give the whole manifesto in a jalsa? Surely not logically possible. PTI is an emerging justice party; they are in process of making a competent team to lay down the policies.
5) The quote by some unknown depicts well the present situation confronting PTI and its Chairman regarding induction of old faces. “Life is like a party. You invite a lot of people; some go, some join you, some laugh with you, some didn’t come. But in the end, after the fun, there would be a few who would clean up the mess with you. And most of the time, those were the uninvited or tested ones.”
6) The promotion campaign for the jalsa was totally organized by the youth, a change in people’s thinking. For the first time people feel, that their survival is at stake. People feel that the country is a failed state. If we don’t do something, the future of our children is bleak. IK’s successful history of building Shaukat khannam hospital, and running it as an independent entity with clean and neat budgetary/financial matters have put full confidence and trust on IK’s integrity. The jalsa of Minar-e-Pakistan was funded by different well wishers, who really wants change in the country, eg., one person in Lahore donated two million rupees, and record is present. Similarly Karach’s jalsa was supported by masses and through donations from all over the world, as people from various parts of country and world attended and donated for the jalsa. How shaukat khannam hospital was started? How he got donation? Of course through charity and contributions by common man.
7) He broadly mentioned problems faced by Karachiites, for example, he gave two examples, one example of Pakistani person, who was interested to invest in Pak, but he was kidnapped, and later on he left the country. Since the main purpose of jalsa was to bring different races of people in to unity, so he did it elegantly, for which the credit must go to PTI team. IK is the only hope for change in Pakistan…a fact.

This blog seems to be more of an anger rather than constructive criticism.
None of the point seems appealing.
In fact a person like me who just started liking some party (PTI), never casted vote before can give a solid/valid reasons against each of your point which you disliked.

There are 5 key lessons from Imran Khan and PTI branding and marketing strategy. Check out http://bit.ly/vhHZIG

Can You write same for PML(N).? It seems you are supporter of some other party. To error is human nature. we r not angels dear. may be u thinking of urself. did u see security for PM /Ministers/all Party Heads except IK.
If IK have personal security why u r shouting? did u shout for others?
IK deserve security more than P/PM/Heads of Party. he is honest politician.
Regarding late coming of IK. everbody knows people of karachi on holidays wakeup late thats why IK waited for people of karachi to wakeup and come to jalsa ok. Tell me 1 thing with honesty if IK give you Ticket for election 2012 in karachi can u win? NOOOOOO because u r not known person in karachi/ u hv no experience of politics/ u did not do any welfare work for people so how u can win? IK tactics is good. experiences people with inexp. he is collecting people making team later. Why u people want that IK fight with MQM? MQM have only 18 seats in NA. why IK waste his time and energy to party who is minority in NA.
Why not target a big party so IK can win. Roadmap cannot deliver in jalsa this is not platform. for roadmap always deliver in conference or seminar from expert peope of party in their fields. which party of pakistan tell u roadmap in jalsa? give any example of any leader? so plz do not expect from IK 100% ACCURACY.
If as person u r not 100% perfect in ur life how can expect from some1. very strange for me.

Fateha was read for the Quaid by the entire congregation. that was much more than the homage the author required.

1– 1bje jalse ka matlab ye nahi tha k IK 1 baje ake jalsa karega , its well understood my friend so pls stop exaggerating

ALSO I AM ATTACHING SOME FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (faqs) FOR MORE CLARITY

1– Why is PTI bringing on board lotas and opportunistic politicians from other parties?

Turn coats are people who vote against party line in return for personal gains. Then there are those that change allegiance on not being nominated for candidacy by their party and they either run independent or partner with other parties
People will only choose from the alternatives they have for that reason all those who earlier supported other parties and now want to vote for PTI cannot be termed as lotas. The doors of the party are open to all but tickets will be awarded to those who have a good record and generally perceived to be clean and that meet our selection criteria.

2– Is PTI going to join hands with the JI and/or other religious parties?

PTI is not opposed to forming strategic alliances with likeminded parties and groups, which may include strategic seat adjustments where necessary. We however are opposed to partnering with groups and parties who have perpetuated bad governance.

3– Is PTI a one man show? Where are the other leaders? What are their credentials?

IK is our most recognized face; however there are others that represent the party on various forums. We also have a team of experts who helped draw the 100 day plan. The plan will be announced in a policy handbook due for release shortly and will also serve to introduce our team of experts with their TORs and brief resumes. We are a democratic party that is scheduled to hold internal elections

4– If PTI comes to power does it have the competence and expertise and experience to govern?

PTI has developed a 100-day plan to implement when it comes into power. This is a live document and its first version was completed in July 2011 which elaborates the party position on issues ranging from Power Policy, Agriculture, Textile, and Terrorism to Good Governance. Currently it is being updated by including a five year budget projection and we expect this to be ready by May next year when its details will be made public. This is a serious document and we don’t want to rush into going public with unfinished details.
We can confidently say that our party has the will required and is ably supported by people who have a successful track record in the public and private sector. A group of experts is actively developing an action plan that will be released shortly in the form of a party handbook.

5– How does PTI plan to address the energy issue?

PTI recognizes that the energy issue must be addressed, aiming at the following desirable points of arrival.
Convert the current fuel powered thermal generators to coal power thus ensuring stability in the cost of fuel and setting a stage for using local fuel for power generation.
Pursue USD 7.0 billion investment over a three year period under public private partnership to exploit Thar coal.
Replace inefficient turbines hydro electric power plants with more efficient turbines.
Initiate steps to conserve energy

6– What is PTIs source of funding? How many members and who are the biggest contributors?

PTI is supported by a growing number of ordinary Pakistanis, who have so far been contributing and sponsoring various events. These are well meaning citizens who contribute to the cause and while we would want to be totally transparent however in the face of threat of reprisals most donors do not desire disclosure.
Going forward we are channelizing these sources by establishing a special collection bank account which will be open for viewing to people for a small fee. For the record we are confident to raise over ten billion in a year to fund our political activities.

hope it will clear your confusion, i take all ur criticism in a very positive manner and tried to answer you will proper facts n figure

Another PMLN propoganda machine. Blogger makes no sense

we want Zardari again for next 5 years

He has made correct analysis.

yawn

err, and your point is??

Hi, I am not a fan of PTI, but I liked this party in one or other ways. The most important reason is he is best amongst all available. I disagree with almost all of your hate points and here I go with each.

1- It’s alright to delay event for a while so that all people may reach there and all people may get a chance to see the event whether live or on TV. The people that were not interested including me got a chance to see the event over TV because of being delayed for several hours. Well, event was on Sunday, a public holiday. You must not be expecting your important meetings throughout the day. Four hours in a country where electricity is not available for at least 12 hours a day is nothing at all.

2- I suggest IK to add more guards to his security team for now. He is an asset to us and we don’t want to lose him at any cost. And for you please try to live in “Present”. He was talking about the future. You forgot the incident of 27th December? Do you want us to lose another leader? Few even don’t dare to do such events. InshahAllah soon this country will be a place where people don’t need guards. Instead they will spend the money on education, food or other things.

3- For me Birthdays are not that important. Important is the work done by that person, which was praised by IK. But, IK should look into it and should improve himself and should not forget these small things for the next time. Big events, several things to discuss…. IK is also a human?? Right?? Thanks to Allah the almighty, he don’t discusses Shahadat, Sazishain and fake forever incomplete promises.

4- Well, I am in my 20s and I think I have done a lot of work on several platforms but I am sure that hardly 500 people in this country know me. Do you want him to elect me for his team? Come on, we want him the next PM of this country. He need to grow faster, he need to add more such people who have worked in several ways for this country. He is creating the best team. Have you ever listened any corruption charges on the people he added in his team? Trust him, he will bring the best out of all the available. I trust him and I trust his team. Nothing to dislike.

5- For your fifth point I can say that this is democracy and democracy demands you to spend money on such events…. This is the only way and other people (parties) also do the same. IK wants to lead this country and for this purpose he needs to advertise himself as much as he can. This is what he is doing right now. Now, think about me I also want to become the PM of this country, I have education, proven professional carrier, can do a lot for this country, but how can I become PM? Is there any roadmap? How many position holders join political parties? POSITION HOLDERS!!! Wow what a breed? What if that breed leads the country? Do you have any roadmap for such breed? Nothing at all…. So the only way is to spend spend spend and spend, people might give vote to you and you may get elected… then you will recover what you have spent along with other goals that you have seen for this country. This is democracy. Why Islam promotes Khilafat? Think about it….

6- It’s alright to support each other and let the competition be real. Do not act on integrities of each other. In present and in my opinion almost all parties are corrupt (not talking about PTI, have not listened any charges about them till now). All are hiding each other’s back, current government is living example of it. Harris, please try to see this country practically. If you need to clean the dirt, don’t forget that you will become dirty too… Problems of Karachi are all common. You can’t do anything just by giving a speech. You need power and right now IK don’t have that power. Let him play the game and I am sure he will come up with better solution. Right now, can’t explain you much about this point as there are several problems and hurdles in resolving this issue and sadly I can say that it is the toughest task to be completed. I am also a Karachiites but now have left it because of the same issues. Other cities are better… why? PPP and MQM should think about it, what they have done to this city.

7- Roadmaps are not presented in speeches that are purely set for advertisement. IK was there to advertise himself and to show his strength, to show the sign of change. Trust me; elimination of corruption that he is promising can solve all your problems including Extortions, kidnappings, land grabbing, gang wars etc… Corrupt Police, corrupt rangers, corrupt politicians and corrupt government employees that’s all what you have for now. Punjab is much better just because of less corruption on lower levels.

IK is our last hope. Trust me. If the things are not sorted out soon this country may remain but the country may not remain like a place where you and me type people can live… Do you want to live in 17th century? If 2012 is not the end? Don’t you want to compete with this world? Or you don’t have the right to compete with this world? Do you know where other countries are heading? And we are only asking for roti, kapra and makan? 12 hours without electricity? Several hours with low gas pressure? I am a business man doing IT business, if things don’t get to normal soon, I will think of leaving this country…. Selfish.. So I am and I believe every hard worker and talented guy have a right to be selfish… I have worked so hard in my life and I want to enjoy it as well… Please don’t ask me to wait for another 5 years ….

I usually don’t waste my time commenting here and there, the last comment I did for my country was 4 years back when Bibi died and now I am back again to just show what you can’t see… Hope you will approve this comment as it is. And do let me know if I am wrong anywhere…

Thanks

rubish article…. u zardari lover !

For me above all is irrelevant, If he is the one to save the country from this great mess then let it be. Our history tels us that we pakistanis just can’t digest anything good happening to us, no wonder the country is complete shambles..” Humein keere nikalne ki aadat hai”

He did address issues like land grabbing, kidnapping briefly and he will address in greater detail with the passage of time- current & previous leadership has stolen everything from Pakistan– it’s only wise to safeguard plans from such people with elections atleast a year away.
Why don’t I see such critical views on current leaders- I believe those armed guards were not being fed of tax money.

well your statements are pretty baseless concerning the current situation in Pakistan. Pakistan needs someone like Imran Khan, there were hundreds of thousands of people in his jalsa, of course he would spend money. Did you forget what happened to Benazir Bhutto? It is ridiculous to state his bodyguards appearance in the event. And maybe your accusations need alittle thought or else some people would think your mental. I’m sorry but this this blog is just another way for you to lure the Paksitani awam to believe they have no hope for themselves. Thanks for your input.

Sincerely,
Democracy.

Some of your points are unfair – let me comment point by point:

1) Jalsa start time was 1 not Imran’s speech, it really makes sense to start later. Even it was 1, blame it on the ‘awaa, who did not (ot all of them on time). You don’t invite guests on dinner and start food if most guests are late (?)

2) I believe that in an open field, having guards with proper outside view is important – you don’t want guards just to cuddle the khan inside the car. That would serve no purpose but I know what you mean.

3) Are you serious? Did you even watch the Jalsa properly? His speech started with an excerpt from Quaid’s speech and ended with a promise to Quaid???

4) Do you have any idea about regional politics? Please suggest a young man who is ELECTABLE, cv’s count for nothing in regional politics. Bring on president of a debate union in Ivy League/Oxbirdge, trust me he will have a hard timein getting elected. After all he needs seats! Maybe when he is more established, then he can implement this idea to the fullest.

5) he could not have risked PIA – PP could have gone to any extent to thwart his plans…

6) Well this happens in politics, everywhere…if Nick Clegg and David Cameron can sit in one office…

7) Well, you can’t say much in a 50 min speech. If he does not present a roadmap till 3 months before the elections, ‘maybe’ then you can raise your concern

Though im a huge IK supporter but this “And one more thing, please stop calling IK the last hope for Pakistan, believe me the world is not ending in 2012.” was something i would agree on Very well written though!

IK is more of a Dictator Metal rather than Leader Metal. Leaders create capable followers – but accepting “Lotas” and depending upon ‘Media Hype” is not a process of making a party.

MQM at its onset, had chosen slogans and objectives considered vital in the target community, which mobilised the Karachities or rather the Urdu-speaking community. Then among his followers, Altaf Hussain nominated people, who became electable in their first attempts. After lots of ups and downs in the last 30 years, MQM is somewhat well-seasoned for National Politics.

Some national seats of Land-barrons in South Punjab or Mianwali, a random seat in Lahore and a couple in KPK, PTI doesnt seem to inspire the masses with its currently very vague line of action and objectivity.

I have posted a comment a few hours back; however, it has not been shown in public. Kindly publish my comments.

Thanks,
Ovais

I think one (or more) of the party has given you money to propagate negative publicity about IK jalsa. you guyz are so jealous of him. No one can arrange such big jalsa without promotion (spending money) . Everything has a cost, nothing is free now a days, you need to promote to sell something.
If you can tell us any other hope than IK share with us my friend. We have seen every other political party ruling the democracy, why not give atleast 1 chance to IK.

Be realistic my friend, even the nominal person need some security now a days, and IK is big personality.

1 person might be wrong, 2 persons might be, 10 might be, 100 might be but not more than 200000 supporters get wrong about one person.

if you want a change, think like it, do like it and promote like it.

HARIS SB I 100% agree with your observations!!!!

so what you say we let zardari and nawaz to rule on us come-on , we trust IK, and we dont need to have a glimpse of him , we want he should perform and institution should work ,

i hate you

ya right ,people are saying that MQM arranged 1 lack people for jalsa

lolz. I will always welcome a meaningful criticism but something like that always forces me to think –> is there any freaking mind in that head that these guys carry on the top of their shoulders. Let me answer this guy point wise because his intentions seem to be right.

1- He should have been on time but instead of thinking negatively did u ever thought on a point that may be he wanted for as many people to gather as they could because he wanted to convey his message to all that would arrive and not just some.

2- If IK was killed in that jalsa in the absence of bodyguards, just for a day we would say that he was a great cricketer and then would have gotten busy in our daily chores. Atleast he had the guts to bring karachi together.

3- So if he would have said that HAPPY B’DAY Q-E-AZAM, then it would have been satisfactory for you? What a greater b’day wish can it be to some1 like Q-E-AZAM when you promise on his b’day infront of his tomb that I AM GOING TO FULFILL YOUR DREAM.

4- Hahahahha. This is a good 1. So you would want an under18 to represent youth. If he would have done that, you would the the first one to laugh at him because its a country not a freaking college welcome party. And you talk about bringing a new face and making him trustworthy. Irony is that you are the one that won’t vote for some new guy just because hez in the IK party, coz you don’t know him well and IK was famous before politics thats why his face was familiar. Just imagine how much time would it take for a new face to get familiarize in pakistan in politics when it took IK 15 years. IK would be far dead by then. If it was some other country and the people were a bit more logical. He would have definitely done so.

5- If IK didn’t spend this money, may be you will have to deal with MQM or ZARDARI for the rest of your life and I bet u are not aware of the pain of the victims of these parties thats why you won’t care if they rule you forever. As far as the guy is concerned, it was his sacrifice and IK’s been doing that for almost 15 years now. USE THOSE DAMN EYES THAT YOU HAVE.

6- If IK started giving you the details of each and every policy that he has for pakistan’s problems in a JALSA then my friend you would still be at that jalsa and would be writing this 7 points report tomorrow. I am sure he is going to find another more practical way to give you details about those policies. He mentioned them just to let you know that he has it already.

7- SO you want new things in every jalsa. PROBLEMS are still the same irrespective of the place of jalsa. It should be recited again and again to convince people. Everything is done step wise. Stop being hasty. Be of little faith.

PS: I know he’s not perfect but hez surely hell lot better than those creepy ***holes and he really deserves a chance.

SO WAIT AND WATCH ..

We have the corruptest politicians in the world in the form of our president and PM. If you have seen the movie Batman then we have “Joker” as the president and his cabinet are his accomplice. Any one seeking their removal shall be lesser evil.

a bit too harsh, arent you? see its really quite simple, IK needs guards for protection and so does everyone else. Do you not remember what happened on May 12th or to Salman Taseer or many other innocent people around. so wudnt it be normal to protect IK, if nothing else, he is a good man who has only done good for this country. Im sure you were aware that roads were jammed and people needed to gather before they could start. The way the crowd behaved, Im sure we wud have waited 24 hours more for Imran to deliver that passionate and sincere speech which was full of hope and comfort. He made the revolution seem so easy, if it is upto to IK, we might be lucky to have a bloodless and the most peaceful revolution. Javed Hashmi aint dumb to join Imran, Jehangir Tareen is an honest businessman, Shah Mahmood might be dramatic but under Imran he will learn to be a people’s man. As far as funds are concerned, if I had money I wud have given him as much as he needed and it wudnt be for him, it wud be for Pakistan, and its not a crime if several businessmen donated him because they want him to come to power and give them what they need, an honest and sincere government who would work for the benefit of everyone, rich and poor. Who cares if establishment is working behind the scenes to promote IK, I mean who hasnt worked for establishment in our politics but no one in their sane will believe that Imran will ever work with the establishment to come into power, thats not his style, its that simple!

All points valid!

You only mentioned a few things that you hated. I wonder how many books will someone have to write about to show the positives of this PTI Jalsa.

No one is perfect, but many many qualities and few faults are better and only faulty characters(that we currently have as our leaders or other parties).

atleast IK doesn’t have Civil/criminal/corruption cases against him(which many of the current leaders have). So that is the only thing right about IK. Right ambition will lead to right path. But if you are corrupt then to expect something from you is childish.

IK is man of his word.
He is honest.
He is not Corrupt.
He is straight forward.
He is brave.
He is ambitious.

And many more… So we love you Mr. Imran Khan

7 REASONS WHY I LOVE pti Jalsa……..

1- not a single person was forced to attend this jalsa as it happened in past specially in karachi

2- Thanks god,He didnt go to Quaids tomb and saved time.

3- 80 million he spend were funded by PTI members personally.

4- HE brang peace message to karachi by uniting sindhi,pathans,muhajirs at one plat form

5-no bullet proof stage was set

6- He entered in stadium with 1 security car which he has right to keep with him…

7- Salman was there to perform

I got a million reasons to hating your article—GROW UP and GET EDUCATED!!!

great article. the truth is when you will gather lota hawks around you one day they will begin to yield more influence on you and you will bound to make decisions they want you to make. Imran is losing his credibility by gathering these lotas with him. further more the ground in which PTI held its jalsa has a maximum capacity of 200,000 if no chairs are kept otherwise maximum 100,000 so please spare the rhetoric that it was attended by lakhoo or millions. how do i know this ? because i live across the street from this place and in my childhood days played numerous cricket matches there. Syed Zohair Ali

Has the author of this retarded article never seen Obama’s security motorcade ?
And they where by gun toting youth they were police officers

Of pti supporters dont mind waiting for imran Kahn why do u ? He was preparing his speech u pmln agent

Security ? Was normal police which u get in USA as well

1. “A man in his 50’s inducting men in their late 70’s hoping to represent the youth seems ludicrous” – THAT SHOWS YOUR SO IMMATURE IN YOUR VIEWS!
HELLO! PTI IS TO RULE AND LEAD “”THE WHOLE OF PAKISTAN”" AND NOT JUST PAKISTAN’S YOUTH AND FORGET THE REST! SO I DON’T GET WHY IF IK INDUCTS MEN IN THEIR LATE 70′S SEEMS LUDICUROUS TO YOU??

2. IK ‘WILL’ MAKE PAKISTAN INTO COUNTRIES LIKE SINGAPORE, MALAYSIA, TURKEY ETC. PAKISTAN “”CURRENTLY IS NOT”" LIKE THOSE COUNTRIES SO YOU NEED BODYGUARDS WITH GUNS TO PROTECT YOU FROM ANYTHING UNEXPECTED!

FIREPOWER BY YOUNG MEN IN THEIR 20′S AND 30′S WAS SURPRISING TO YOU?? HELLO! 18+ OR IS IT 21+, IS “”LEGALLY”" ALLOWED TO CARRY FIREPOWER.

YOU ARE JUST JELOUS OF IMRAN KHAN’S PAKISTAN TEHREEK-E-INSAAF’S MASSIVE SUCCESS AND POPULARITY!

He is at least better than Mr 10 %, certainly pays more tax than Rs 5000, his son has not taken 9 million rupees car and certainly had the curtsy to pay for his jalsa.

Also, IK is trying. EVERYBODY else in Pak does what you just stated. Sure, he has the same shortcomings, but he has good qualities as well, which the others lack. Even if his policies are a bit vague we should give him a chance.

I agree with 200%

I disagree with the figure of 80 million it is at least around 400million to 500 million spent on the concert/picnic outing/so called jalsa . Imran khan promise to make an ideal Pakistan, every politician has the same speech before the elections nothing is new in it. None of the politician said that he will increase the corruption, destroy the economy, and spread the anarchy. Can he give at least one policy that how he will bring the change??? Can anyone ask him explain the labor policy, Police reform Policy or any another policy and its implication. To my view till now he has no policy, he is busy in collecting the spent cartridges.

nauman

any way we love Imran Khan,
We have very bad habit to criticise

The above article is rubbish. For instance article says IK did not mention Karachi problems, less talk on how to do etc. Let me say IK already mentioned number of times ” peace in Karachi’ and that should answered. Secondly, this time he less criticise and gave more agenda. However, to be more specific on agenda dont need to talk in open mass rally. This kind of debate should be made on media in front of analysists. There other points in the article which are baseless.

Nothing is perfect in this world..but intensions and behavior makes the difference..Above all IK is much much better than others..we have voted and gave chance to all others..so why shouldn’t give to our last hope..so please stop critisizing him on these little things as these are the part of our politics..

Do not worry folks, criticism is better to be percieved as a motivating and energizing factor.So do not take it as criticism rather take it as an a motivating factor.My humble request to all PTIANS that they should focus on their destination. Keep going IK, AND PTI.

Omer Cheema was right behind IK the whole time, Arif Alvi was with IK throughout the preparation of the whole event and on the Jalsa. I think you were also Unable to spot Naeem-ul-Haq, Fozia Qusoori and Andleeb who were with him throughout from preparation to execution.. petty mind pointing out petty issues..

MQM could not stop PTI after what happened in Lahore. Punjab Gov was unable to stop them at any place because if that was done it would hail all sorts of sympathy for PTI to the bitter disadvantage of PMLN PPP and MQM. Similarly, MQM trying to stop IK would be detrimental for MQM.

Rally is a public procession and it only starts once enough people have gathered.

You object IK’s security(4 armed men).. write someday about the 100 vehicle convoy of Mr. Prime Minister.

I donate to SKMH, IKF and PTI and I am happy to do so and will continue because i know my money is being spent where it is supposed to be.

Jahangeer Tarren (according to a 2010 report from Ansar Abaasi who is the most trusted investigative journalist in Pakistan) is the only Politician who has declared assets completely including his hard earned business empire and even paid taxes on agricultural income. Plus he went above and beyond and declared Millions in taxes paid on earnings by him and his family (these are not customer auto-deducted sales taxes so fervently waved around by Hanif Abasi regarding Shreef brothers in an attempt to fool the nation). Kindly stop hating on people just because they are rich and became so by there own entrepreneurship and hard work and they pay taxes.

IK, the only man who makes and effort to chalk out the plan for future Pakistan in his meeting with people. Talks about Local Gov’s control on primary and intermediate Education and local courts to solve cases at a more decentralized level, tax collection, relation between GDP and tax ratios, relation between investment and corruption and how he is going to increase one by bringing the other down. Not enough, maybe you want him to read policy papers instead? Never heard Nawaz or Zardari go beyond Musharaf bashing and mudslinging each other.

Haters gona hate.. May Allah help IK
Ameen

very good Harris..i agree.. people like kasuri and asif ahmad ali cannot bring the change in pakistan.

Very Well written article…..

so someone said in the comments MQM is not PTI’s target then what the hell were they doing in Karachi was their target ANP in sohrab goth area or PPP in lyari? it makes no sense IK is not the man of his words first he claims MQM was behind 12th May and now apparently he has forgiven mqm why did he not say a single word about MQM in Karachi i have been saying from Day 1 if Imran Khan wants to make a government he will have to visit NINE ZERO to get MQM’s ashirwad thats the reason why he is silent about MQM . What happend to IK’s strict principle about MQM he forgot all about his so called “karkuns” that were “aparently” killed on 12 may what a shame IK . I mean think about it yourself Imran khan does a fabulous Jalsa i totally agree in Karachi and does not say a word abt MQM? who he hates so much calls them murderers extortionists IK can make no difference in Karachi’s politics he will mayb get 2-3 seats the ones ANP has other than that good luck to IK and he is not the only hope. TO THE PEOPLE WHO SAY LETS TRY IMRAN OUT LISTEN THIS IS NOT A CRICKET MATCH THAT WE CAN TRY OUT A NEW PLAYER THIS IS ABOUT RUNNING A GOVERNMENT WHO 19 CRORE PPL DEPEND ON U CANT RISK THE FATE OF PPL BY JUST GIVING A CHANCE TO SOMEONE WHO HAS NO PRINCIPLES WHO CAN PLAY POLITICS ON HIS PPLS DEAD BODIES (12 MAY) AND THEN IGNORES EVERYTHING LIKE NOTHING HAPPEND THE REASON WHY I CRITIZE IK IS BECAUSE PPL THAT IMRAN KHAN IS DIFFERENT HE IS NOT DIFFERENT HE IS JUST LIKE THE CURRENT POLITICIANS WE CURRENTLY HAVE HIRING LOTAS PLAYING POLITICS ON DEAD BODIES

Sadly, this article is written by a typical skeptic. If this article was meant to criticize PTI positively, the author wouldn’t have used words such as ‘blab’. Although I am a PTI supporter, I also found some aspects of the jalsa a bit disappointing. But the fact of the matter of is that no matter how much you whine about it, the jalsa WAS successful.

As far as lotas are concerned, you can NOT win the elections in Pakistan without including the vote-banks of people living landlords in Sindh and Punjab. As sad as it might seem, this is one of the bitter truths people should accept. Oh and in case you have forgotten, the team which Imran lead in the ’92 World Cup was a team consisting of future alleged match-fixers (Wasim, Ijaz Ahmed, Salim Malik, Mushtaq Ahmed to name a few). They won the World Cup because they were lead by an honest leader and an honest leadership makes all the difference.

i cant understand, what is the definiton of LOTA?? because if changing party is lota then everyperson in this country is lota. A person who was first part of one media group and now has joined other tv channel or now writes for other newspaper is a media lota by this definition. A person who was teaching in one organisation, resigns and joins other university is educational lota by this definition. for God sake, changing party after resign is not lotacracy. Actual lotacracry is in punjab assembly where forward block of PMLQ is supporting the ideology of PMLN without resigning. They are part of PMLQ and back PMLN. This is lotacracy. I cant understand, how well educated persons of media can nominate those persons as lota who are joining PTI after resigning

Strongle disagree with this article…..just see the role of IMRAN KHAN…..don’t waste time in writing & calculating the total cost of the Jslsa.

A person who cant give name to his own daughter is going to change the destiny of PAKISTAN SERIOUSLY !!!! i am amazed at the naiveness of our nation.

God save us from ourselves !!!

I don’t take it as criticism for the sake of criticism but i’m very much clear that the best option available right now in our country is Imran Khan.

i dint waste my time reading this article, but read last few lines and i agree with “please stop calling IK the last hope for Pakistan, believe me the world is not ending in 2012.”

yeah, i am IK’s supporter, but calling him last hope? seriously?

May Allah bless our country! Aameen

most of the supporters of pti argued that ppp and pmln are tested and they failed not pti IK should be tested. i agreed but he should be tested as a mayor or deputy moyor of any city than he should be gived chance as a PM.

Why we support IK is that every one else is tested. This man is still to be tested in the fields of Politics. He has been tested in two other fields, captain of Pakistan Cricket team and as a philanthropist. Luckily he passed both the tests with flying colors so the people of Pakistan are giving his another chance. I do not agree with the comment of one of the participant that he be given the seat of a mayor first. No sir! was Nawaz Sharif or Benazir or ZAB or for that matter Ayub Khan, Yahya Khan, Zia, Musharraf given the seats of Mayors that they ruled this country. This man has a lots of leadership qualities plus has fairly good management qualities. Lets give him a chance

well as long IK is not living luxuriously in London with the fear of getting killed while worrying about people of Karachi,when they are dying like roaches every day,he is not talking about one ethnicity and their grievances while whole Pakistan is a victim of corruption,i can take what ever you saw in that jalsah,which is not true for such a humble leader cz we sat with him on side walk in dust recently in sindh, while muhajirs are killing muhajirs within the party to prove their honesty and respect with a person,who is scared to even live among them.

hi ,sorry to all ,i am support IK,not just he is the only hope, other are also,but its not necessary but every one is right ,to day we see best Aeroplane, but no one know , how much we pay for it,problem are there, but IK is the only one ,how accept mistake, specially in his meeting,and hope u will find less mistake in next few jalsa, i must say pray for pakistan ,not pray for IK to become PM,

“please stop calling IK the last hope for Pakistan, believe me the world is not ending in 2012″
this sentance is very beautiful. but i add one thing oher” Pakistan will remain untill the day of judgement (ameen)
