Imran Khan calls on overseas Pakistanis to sponsor development

[UmarJustice]

LAHORE: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan has come up with an interesting proposal, saying he would urge overseas Pakistanis to sponsor the development of at least one village back home.

He was talking to media at a hotel here on Wednesday where 67 former nazims and naib nazims announced joining the PTI.

On this occasion, Imran Khan welcomed them and said that his party would hold local government elections in three months after coming into power to empower people at the grassroots.

Elaborating on his ‘One Village One Overseas Pakistani’ proposal, Khan said that all the developmental work in villages would be monitored through satellite cameras to ensure transparency in the development projects. He appealed to overseas Pakistanis to take responsibility for the development of 50,000 villages across the country.

The PTI chief, while idealising the real role of the parliamentarians as it was being observed in all developed countries told the audience that if his party would come into power then the role of all members of the national and provincial assemblies would be limited to law-making for the benefit of citizens. He also confirmed that there was no concept of giving welfare funds to the parliaments across the world.

He said that Pakistan was the only country where no local bodies system existed. He said that PTI is committed to putting in place local bodies system, adding that carrying out development work is the responsibility of local bodies.

PTI chairman said that PML-N leader and former chief minister Punjab, Shahbaz Sharif was in possession of more funds as compared to the prime minister but he did nothing for the sake of the province and the country.

Reiterating the stance to not go in alliance with any party in the upcoming elections, Imran Khan urged the voters not to cast their votes to the conservative and corrupt politicians on May 11. He also claimed that his party would introduce austerity measures stopping all lavish spending by the previous governments after getting power in upcoming elections.

3...2....1.... oops, Showbaz Sharif has already copied ‘One Village One Overseas Pakistani’ proposal
he calls it "Shabaz sharif's villages"
he is asking overseas Pakistanis to put funds into his personal bank account because then they will now it is 1000000% safe.......from being used for developing villages and will instead end up in Swiss accounts.

Seems like he really has alliance with PPP.

Yes It was PTI's petition that SC wanted to implement but ECP was reluctant and still is, NADRA representatives are out there, checking if its feasible, but there are problems such as that democracies around the world may allow this but a major portion of diaspora live in middle east, their kingdoms are not allowing this right, as they think we are polluting their population with foreign ideas..typical muzlims

p.s. news just in 7 countries have allowed voting rights to overseas pakistan, rest obviously are middle eastern cuntaries

Overseas voting has been practised in the UAE, Filipinos vote at their embassy.

It was actually PTI which started this movement for overseas vote, their position has been crystal clear.

I don't know about that, how can they prevent you from exercising that right ? I know pakistan embassies and consulates can serve as polling stations and no Sodie can stop that

.

Yesterday UAE specifically refused to give this right to Pakistanis... this was a ticker on tv.

Yes, but embassies would not be sufficient, that is why we need their permission, we need more places or if possible e-voting.

In-freakin-credible - with friends like these who needs enemies - but they have a point, don't want arbis to get fancy ideas

You sure? Filipinos can caste their vote, so why not us?

Yes, but embassies would not be sufficient, that is why we need their permission, we need more places or if possible e-voting.

In addition to embassy and consulate, the Pakistani schools in every Emirate were earmarked as polling stations.

some more brilliant Ideas for Imran
- one overseas Pakistani support one family in Pakistan
- One overseas Pakistani makes one school in Pakistan
- Runs one public bus
- 10 Pakistanis open one hospital
- 1 Overseas Pakistan paves one road
- 1 overseas Pakistani catches one bhata khor
- 1 Overseas Pakistani kill one target killer

- but after doing that they should go back to their adapted country because your CJ thinks you are not equal to 1 Pakistani who doesnt do any of the above

just wondering why we need Imran we overseas Pakistani can do it all

It is the money that expats have that is needed for Pakistan, and leaders have a great role in getting the expats to open up thier wallets and invest in the country.

Overseas Pakistantis are like visitors to a zoo. We just watch in amazement what people in Pakistan do and shake our head at the monkey behavior. A few overseas Pakistanis like you like to torment the zoo animals because you know you are safe due to the iron bars, but most of us just feel pity for them.

Now we have a leader who will turn Pakistan from a zoo to an actual nation and overseas Pakistanis will have the chance to help their motherland.

Just because all you ever did in your life was contaminate the gene pool does not mean other people should not try and help their homeland.
