Can’t exclude possibility of alliance with Imran: Khursheed Shah

[Champion_Usmani]

SUKKUR: Opposition Leader in the National Assembly Khursheed Shah said on Sunday that the Pakistan Peoples Party cannot exclude the possibility of either seat adjustment or contesting the general elections in 2018 with Imran Khan-led Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf.

While speaking to media in Sukkur, Shah said that there is no last word in politics, adding that Imran Khan and former president Asif Ali Zardari getting along with each other will be a good sign.

The opposition leader while responding to a question did not exclude the option of any possible alliance with the PTI, saying that anything can happen in this regard.

Khursheed Shah also expressed optimism regarding PPP leader and Senator Sherry Rehman being elected the leader of the Opposition.

The ruling PML-N lost the race to appoint their favoured candidates to the top Senate slots as Sadiq Sanjrani, an opposition-backed candidate from Balochistan, was appointed Senate chairman in March.

Sanjrani, an independent, had been backed by the PPP, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and the Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P).

The PPP nominated Senator Sherry Rehman for the post of Senate opposition leader, the party's Chairman Bilawal Bhutto had confirmed.

Bilawal said the PPP will be making history by nominating the first woman to lead the opposition and expressed hope for her victory.

Sherry will easily become Senate opposition leader: Khursheed Shah

SUKKUR: Opposition Leader in National Assembly and Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) leader Syed Khursheed Shah on Sunday said that their doors are open for everyone whether it is Imran Khan or someone else.

“Imran Khan has supported us in the Senate elections but the opposition leader in Senate would be from PPP and Sherry Rehman would easily acquire that slot,” he said.

Talking to media at NICVD Hospital Sukkur, Shah said that politics is a service to the masses and he prays for those doing politics to become true politicians.

Praising the services at NICVD, he said that the service from the hospital in less than a month was exemplary. He said that PPP is the only party that diverted attention towards the welfare of the masses and raised the minimum salary from 8000 to 15000.

So Zardari again for president ship and IK as PM or opposite?
Just asking ptian in case alliance make in real for elections.

 

[Kabira]

This make sense, coalition government of PTI and PPP. Their main goal should be how to defeat N-league.

 

[xyxmt]

one thing bothers me, why do people refer to PTI as Imran. why do people people say they are consulting with PPP and PMLN, but say they are consulting with Imran.

 

[Imad.Khan]

Its just a dream of PPP because they know that apart from Interior Sindh they have no chance anywhere else.

Yes only applicable option seems available to establishment..., cuz until now there does not seem to be a serious dent in PMLN's Punjab vote bank in case of fair elections, so either they will need engineered elections just like Musharraf did in 2002, or a coalition of PPPP + PTI plus breaking of PMLN into 2 to 3 factions by sending NS & SS into jail...There is another theory circulating in the market that, Boys will obviously use Zardari + IK coalition just like senate but Will take PM from Baluchistan, and other ministers from PPP, PTI just like Sadiq Sanjrani, and Saleem Mandiwala of PPPP, most of people dont know Sanjrani is a close friend of zardari, he is Ex PMLN, and Ex PPPP, actually he was long associated with PPPP...So actually, for Chairman Senate and Deputy Chairman Senate PTI voted for PPPP, that is why for opposition leader PTI asked PPPP to withdraw nomination against PTI's nominee...

one thing bothers me, why do people refer to PTI as Imran. why do people people say they are consulting with PPP and PMLN, but say they are consulting with Imran.

Cuz like few other parties PTI is all about Imran, and he also do not possess a political heir until now, (heredity politics is good or bad is another debate, not advocating it), so i may be wrong but i think that if imran leaves, PTI will be finished (until & unless establishment owns it for future purposes), cuz leaving some old founder members aside, its a mixture of takeaways from PPPP, PMLN, PMLQ, MQM etc. and we all know these 'lota' guys will not ride a drowning boat..., no matter what...

If this really happens, PMLN is done for 2018 elections. This will truly be an ultimate nail in the coffin for them. Interestingly after recent Senate elections, PMLN leaders on media were so much insecure about the possibility of PTI and PTI alliance, that the only thing they were talking about it was "Imran is not true to his words", "this is hypocrisy from Imran's parts","PTI will be doomed if this happened" rather than giving counter narratives that how will PMLN will actually tackle the alliance in upcoming NA elections since in Senate, they had no answers to it.

They should rather pray this does not happens certainly not in their interest for even an inch.

i think it will be little early to say that if that happens, PMLN will be done, such parties don't die so easy, due to various reasons...Zia also thought PPPP will die after takeover of 1977 and hanging of Bhutto...Musharraf also thought PMLN will die after 1999 coup, & after exclusion of Sharif family from the country and creating a new king party out of PMLN, named PMLQ (we know chaudharys, sheikh etc were old PMLN), If a Political party has few strong Political personalities (may be in the form of Political heir) and possesses deep roots in a society (its another debate if someone likes it or not), then it is little difficult to root it out completely, yes they can be neutralised for some time, but to say they are done, is not right i feel....
you see isi liye tu ab tak Sindh may Bhutto & Bibi mar k bhi (politically) zinda ha...

Imran says he won’t vote for PPP though PTI did in Senate poll: Bilawal

SUKKUR: Commenting on Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) chairperson Imran Khan’s recent remarks regarding the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), its chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari said on Friday that Mr Khan had claimed that he would never vote for the PPP, but his own party did that in the Senate elections recently, and now he has started denying that. “The ink stain on your thumb with which you voted for our vice chairperson candidate hasn’t even dried yet... we hope you will continue to support us in the future too,” he quipped.

Mr Bhutto-Zardari continued to lash out at the PTI chief, saying that Mr Khan was a hypocrite for condemning corruption even though he was surrounded by “politicians convicted of corruption”.

The mainstream political parties had ever done politics only to serve the country’s elite, whereas the PPP had always spoken for the country’s underclass, he said, adding that the PTI and the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) were pushing ahead with an aggressive privatisation agenda.

PPP chairman voices concern over sea erosion of Sindh’s coastal areas

Addressing party workers and supporters in Ghotki, the PPP chairperson thanked the constituents of PS-7, Ghotki, for voting for Abdul Bari Pitafi, the PPP candidate, in the by-election held last month.

Mr Bhutto-Zardari visited Raja Mahar House, Adil Pur, Jam House and Bari Pitafi House in Mirpur Mathelo and Khalid Abad in Ghotki.

“All political parties in the country had opposed us in this election... the political orphans of Sindh and the rest of the country’s political trash had decided to give us a tough time, but the people of Ghotki proved that they had stood by (PPP founding chairperson) Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, Shaheed Benazir Bhutto and are now with Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari,” he said.

He said this was but a trailer of what would unfold in Sindh in the upcoming general elections, when the PPP’s political slogans will ring from every polling station.

The country’s political elite made policies and launched loan and tax amnesty schemes only to benefit the rich, but the PPP had always stood for the rights of the poor, he added. “Zulfiqar Bhutto had snatched away land from large landowners and distributed it among the poor,” he claimed, adding that Z.A. Bhutto had built national institutions to benefit the masses.

The PPP chairman said the PML-N government was working only for their rich friends and they were taking away “your IA and Steel Mills and giving them to their friends”.

Responding to a comment regarding continuing unscheduled loadshedding of up to 18 hours in rural Sindh, Mr Bhutto-Zardari expressed sympathy and said the summer season was approaching and it was possible that the situation would further worsen. “The PML-N had promised an end to loadshedding... they had made this claim again during the winter when demand for electricity was low, but as soon as the first signs of summer began their fraud was exposed,” he said, adding that the PPP was looking at alternative energy and preferred to take a holistic approach to the problem of the energy crisis.

He said the Sindh government was working on a coal power plant as well as wind, gas and solar energy projects. “Other provinces need to step up too,” he added.
