Asad Umar blasts PTI chief for his politics

[FOOLS_NIGHTMARE]

The PTI is cracking for sure as Asad Umar – a senior party leader – blasted his head over policies, suggesting a complete lack of political acumen and admitting that the rival parties like those in PDM [Pakistan Democratic Movement] represented the voters.

Umar said the people decided the future of a leader, but that did not mean the one committing a crime should be forgiven. “He must be punished.”

He said the refusal to negotiate with the PDM was a big mistake and revealed that an overwhelming majority of PTI members in the National Assembly as well as the provincial legislatures were against resignations.

Umar said if the PTI had polled 16.8 million votes in 2018 elections, the PDM made it to parliament with 22.5 million votes.

Describing the May 9 events as wake-up call, he asked everyone to take two steps back and made it clear that he didn’t agree with the PTI chairman’s strategy. The party leadership was completely ignored in the decision-making process.

The election date offered by the government side should have been accepted, said Umar who resigned from the post of PTI secretary general after the May 9 mayhem.

As someone who watched that interview, Asad Umar definitely did not say any of that the way this article is portraying.

Journalism keeps on hitting new lows.

Just today saw Fahd Hussain on a TV screen as a 'Senior Journalist'. What a joke.

Klasra said that PTI walay kdhr sarkon main agaye hain etc etc, they should be confined to drawing rooms and such. Yehi banda 6 maheenay pehle bol raha tha keh PTI walon main woh pani nhn keh yeh sarkon par danday khayen, unless they do that they won't become a political party.

Journalists are such sellouts.

They could have performed better

Now the party is basically over

Sure PTI would have been less popular leykin popularity ka achaar dalna hey? Lol

It was only a matter of few months. Imran's popularity isn't going to go down in just those months. Rather than encouraging rioting and all the other dramas that damaged the economy and morale, he could have beared it out for the people. It's the people that are struggling because of these power fights. He did the same when last PMLN was in power. Seems like Imran only cares about his ego. He became a maniac for power.

It seems like Asad Umar's words are distorted in the OP if he was quoted from yesterday's Kashif Abbasi interview.
But the most important 'take' from the AU interview with Kashif was that on most major decisions, it was Imran's way or highway. AU gave example of that by saying that '99% MPAs' tried to talk Imran out of dissolving the Provincial Assemblies but Imran ignored them. And he gave other examples of such arrogance and dictatorial mindset.

Imran dug his own political grave.

1- He then said that once the decisions is taken we stick by it. There are many decisions I do not agree with.

2- Hindsight is always rosy. At that time, it was a right move politically, a tactical move. Could have gone anyway, but it surely wasn't the disaster everyone is making it out to be now.

Had this country been running constitutionally, this would have been a golden move. Force the hand of the federal govt, if we were working legally, the federal govt would have stood to lose either ways, if it conducted federal elections along with provincial or not.

This is like saying that I created a perfect strategy in a game of football, but the opposing side brought out a wooden fence and put it in front of goal, and rather than blaming the other team for not playing by the rules and erecting a wall in front of goal, you blame me for going ahead with a good strategy. Realizing the absurdity of this?

This is the tragedy right now on our TV channels. Nobody is talking about how a party is brought into existence by the estab, how an illegal government is running Punjab, how the federal institutions are blatantly violating SC orders, but people are more interested in who is an electable and how PTI is going down. Taking a party down by force and then Hamid Mir coming on TV and saying 'popularity is going down' is just intellectual dishonesty, nothing else.

Note: None of this is to say that PTI did not make any mistake, or Imran Khan wasn't stupid in some decisions. But yeh jo naya fashion agaya hai keh IK nay har ghalat faisla lia tha aur baki sab arastu sath bethe kuch aur bata rahay thay is opportunistic BS.

It was not 'Hindsight'. It was 'Foresight' of the 99% of Imran's MPA who advised against dissolving the Prov. Assemblies--along with many other blunders of historic proportions.

So you're saying that Imran Khan's dharnas ruined the economy? What nonsense. PMLN and PPP have each had more than three terms ruling this country and even in only 3 years of Imran Khan, the exports & remittances during PTI were at their highest in the country’s history. Higher than PMLN, PPP, or army rule.

You gotta be kidding me. Due to corona, all the credit payments got suspended. So the exports and imports lined up temporarily. It has nothing to do with Imran Khan. India's exports too in the same period went up from $280 billion to $427 billion and reserves too jumped to over $600 billion. Petrol was available for dead cheap rates. It was the world scenarios at play and not Imran's magic. Towards the end of his tenure, everything was anyways going down hill and he made it even worse by subsidizing petroleum as last ditch effort to ruin opposition, in process the country. All your hyperbole reserve it Pakistanis, I am not buying it.

No Imran khan tantrums has no bearing on economy
He didn't tell dar to peg the dollar and close down exports via power cuts/subsidy cuts/raw material import freez and divert remittances to huwala hundi

Or did he???

India exports are still going up though aren't they?
Bengaldesh still growing?
Remittances double digits growth both countries

But why are out dropping

Secondly Pakistan isn't a digital power house like India. India exports were mainly up in digital/software not textiles..they infact contracted

So I have no idea what you are making up

You are repeating the same lines PMLN and PPP repeat to explain why the economic performance of Musharraf or Imran Khan govt was superior and why they fail, like WoT aid or COVID boom in export orders- which is nonsense as Bangladesh lost exports to Pakistan and the textile companies were using TERF financing to expand their factories, something none would do for temporary boom.

PPP took Musharraf's wheat crisis which max would have resulted in $1 billion loss and used that to justify why there was $20 billion in capital flight and why they couldn't manage the economy. Excuses are endless for incompetence of PPP and PMLN poor performance. You always have pathetic excuses.

He is talking about fouj role in seyasat , he said the way fouj was interfering in PTI matters , aor jis tarha IK ko military na aghwa kia uska rad e amal to awam na daina he tha

Please tell me where 99% of the MPA's advised so.

From what I have read, it was a pretty even split.

IMO, he should have dissolved Punjab assembly, but kept KP assembly.
