The Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf Punjab women wing has passed a resolution demanding the party should make all out efforts to redress Ms Fauzia Kasuris grievances and ensure she should stay in PTI fold.
It says the party should make efforts in this regard in the same spirit as it did in the case of Shirin Mazari, now partys central information secretary and MNA on a reserved seat.
Ms Kasuri, a central leader of the PTI, has threatened to leave the party, alleging she had been ignored while finalising party tickets for reserved seats. She has been with the PTI since 1996 and also served as its women wing president. She has also abandoned her US nationality. She had complained that she was barred from contesting intra-party polls for holding dual nationality but at the same time some other PTI members with same disqualification were allowed to run for these elections.
At the PTI Punjab women wing meeting presided over by its president Syeda Saloni Bukhari it Fauzia Kasuri was lauded for her contribution for the party, especially its women workers. The meeting participants also acknowledged that Ms Kasuri was the face of PTI nationally and internationally.
The members passed a resolution urging all out efforts to redress grievances of partys diehard member (Ms Kasuri).
Unless we struggle and achieve justice and equity within the party, we do not qualify to demand justice (Insaaf) in Pakistan, the resolution said.
In her tweets Ms Kasuri deplored that the party leadership did not even respond to her reservations about distribution of tickets. She also regretted that Ms Saloni Bokhari was neither given a party ticket to contest elections nor nominated on reserved seats in spite of her 17-year long services for the PTI.
Meanwhile, MNA and PTIs former central information secretary Shafqat Mahmood has tweeted addressing Ms Kasuri: You cannot leave your family Fauzia jee. My request Plz dont say things like this and certainly not publicly.
