PTI Election Campaign: News & Updates.

[koolio]

I have no idea what Geo tv is upto but they are doing their best to screw PTI.Accoring to them PML-N is already the winner.In ka bus chalay tu they will make Nawaz Sharif PM even without election.Kitne mai bikha hai in ka iman.I told all my relative and friends not to watch Geo watch DUNYA instead.Everyone that i meet is saying the samething.

Maybe its not in GEO TV's interest to see PTI win or Noon league is paying them too much money, Noon league know's that most people watch GEO TV so its best to slpash all the money to propagate their cause, this is just my theory.

Why imran khan is doing jalsas only pashtun districts of balochistan, loralai and sibi?...and to his pashtun audiance he is addressing balochs !
He is talking about finishing sardari system but no mention of things which are igniting balochs like missing persons, dump bodies, operations of security forces etc....
And he needs to to do little research and preparation for his speeches. If he is visiting loralai, then he should also address the local issues and problems that people of loralai are facing.

Imran pledges to make Pakistan Islamic welfare state

01 May, 2013

MIANWALI: The Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman, Imran Khan, has pledged to make Pakistan an Islamic welfare state where everyone would have their due rights. How would the political parties that 'couldn't do anything in the last five years' be able to change the fate of the country now, the PTI chairman questioned.

While addressing an election campaign gathering in Piplan Town of Mianwali here on Tuesday, Imran Khan said that the dream of a prosperous Pakistan couldn't be materialised unless and until corruption was eliminated from the society. He said his party would introduce the system of justice and humanity, if voted to power.

Imran said he would end the politics of caste and creed and free the homeland from the clutches of the United States. He said the politics of regionalism would be buried and there would be only one nation for which Pakistan was created.

He asked the people to be prepared to cast their votes on the 11th May, which would bring an economic revolution in the country and the youth would be provided with jobs.Imran also raised the slogan "Pakistan Ka Matlab Kia" to which people replied: "Laa ilaa ha il-lallah."

Criticising the past provincial governments in the Punjab, he said they had enjoyed five-year terms in office but nothing had changed and the condition of the people had deteriorated. He said during the last five years, in the Punjab province 40,000 people were killed‚ 70,000 were abducted and 128,000 incidents of thefts were recorded.

He stated that the parties that had ruled five times in the provinces could not change anything and if they won for the sixth time‚ the result would be the same and nothing would change again‚ thus the people should use their votes carefully.

Addressing a gathering at Daud Khel, a major city of Mianwali district, also the hometown of the cricketer turned politician, while encouraging his political rival for having a live debate, Imran Khan said that he would not ask tough questions from Nawaz Sharif once he agreed to talk live with him.

"I will just ask one question that what he would do for the country after coming in power which he had not done during his five terms," asked Imran said in a hilarious way while addressing a gathering.

APP adds: Imran Khan claimed that his party will bring improvement in education, health, police, revenue and other sectors.He said that all the changes in the system would be brought with the support of the people.

Talking to a private TV channel he said that political opponents feared from PTI due its rising popularity among the masses. A large number of people were participating in public gatherings of PTI, he added.

Imran claimed that PTI would sweep the forthcoming elections with majority votes of the public. He said that dispensation of justice would be ensured after coming into power.Replying to another question he said that energy crisis should be checked to increase industry production in Punjab.

AFP adds: You can't lead a revolution and hide behind bullet-proof glass — at least not according to Imran Khan, wild card contender for power at the ballot box in Pakistan next week.

Visibly tired by 15-hour days, frenetic flying and driving round the country to address tens of thousands in a campaign dominated by threats and fear of attack, the cricket legend is nothing if not focused.

"This is a revolution taking place," he told AFP after a couple of days of hard campaigning in Punjab, his home province and the political backbone of Pakistan which elects a little over half the seats in the national assembly.

Khan says he's on the "top five hit list". He may not use the bulletproof glass screens used by other politicians at public rallies, but he travels in an armoured car with an armed police escort.

"If my politics is different I can't be standing behind a bullet-proof screen and connecting with the people," he said.Although Khan believes he will be Pakistan's next prime minister, analysts say he is more likely to secure 10-30 seats in the 342-member national assembly — a breakthrough that could make him kingmaker of an incoming coalition.

He also addressed Pashtuns as well as the Balochs, if he had done otherwise than you again would be crying foul over.....well ....never mind

Khan campaign built on self-belief

By Rob Crilly
5:30 AM Thursday May 2, 2013

Imran's anti-corruption drive going into the election is delivered like the cricketer of old.The way to do it is to take away their motivation, which is jihad. If people are willing to die for a cause it is very difficult to defeat them.Imran Khan The Imran Khan who strides out before 15,000 frenzied supporters in north-western Pakistan is very different from the one who slogged through the political wilderness for 15 years.

His rhetoric, at least in private, has softened; his face - always craggy - shows the lines of a punishing campaign; and, for the first time, his loose, white shalwaar kameez shows up the ridges of a bullet-proof vest.It is one of his few concessions to the violence cutting a bloody swathe through political parties before Pakistan's May 11 election.The young crowd had waited for hours in Attock to watch their hero pick up a cricket bat and hook an imaginary ball out of the stadium for six."I know how to swing a bat," he shouted.

His next target, he boomed, would be the lion and tiger that his rival Nawaz Sharif used on his banners. "There's danger ahead for the circus cats."First as a cricketer then as a politician, Khan, 60, has never wavered in self-belief.Weeks ago, his Movement for Justice Party was struggling with messy internal elections, its chances diminishing by the day.Yet he never stopped talking of a grassroots revolution, a tidal wave that would sweep away a corrupt political elite.

Now, as he takes his electrifying roadshow up and down the country, analysts who had written him off are revising their predictions. He is still likely to fall well short of power but his anti-corruption drive has excited young voters, eager for Captain Khan to lead the country the same way he led his cricket team.In his bullet-proof car, minutes after the rally, he admitted wearing body armour for the first time.

"I have on the insistence of my team. They think that because our graph is rising so rapidly the danger grows per day."Khan said he had been told his name was on a list of the top five targets and as we head for the next rally our convoy is flanked by police cars. His former wife Jemima and two sons, who live in Britain, have told him of their anxiety but he remains one of the few leaders to address crowds without a bullet-proof screen.

The memory of Benazir Bhutto, assassinated in 2007 as she left a campaign rally, is never far away. "Benazir was not hit by the Taleban. Benazir was clearly killed by people worried she was going to come into power," he said.This week, the party of President Asif Ali Zardari has begun hinting that Khan could be offered the prime minister's slot in a coalition. Sharif, whose PML-N party heads the polls, may also need Khan's seats - forecast at anywhere from 30 to 80. "How can you bring change by joining the status quo? There will be no deal," he said.

His most controversial stance is his approach to militancy.He would order the US to stop its drone strikes and withdraw Pakistani troops from the border areas, ending what he sees as forces that drive young men to extremism.Instead, he would rely on tribal leaders to negotiate peace."The way to do it is to take away their motivation, which is jihad. If people are willing to die for a cause it is very difficult to defeat them."

The position has earned him the nickname "Taleban Khan" and accusations that he is soft on extremism, but it is an approach increasingly articulated by other parties, tired of tens of thousands of deaths in a never-ending war.After Attock his armoured car takes him on to two more rallies, each the same, with more than 10,000 people pumped up by pounding rock music.

He referred to a recent interview with Dickie Bird, the retired umpire, in the Daily Telegraph, in which he selected Khan as captain of his all-time world XI."We had nothing, no system, but somehow we produced world class cricketers out of that," shouted Khan before pausing, letting the crowd remember how he led his team to the Cricket World Cup in 1992.The metaphor, of a country packed with resources but lacking leadership, is obvious to everyone before he makes his final point. His words are drowned out as if he had just hit a six.

Imran Khan confident of 'crushing' PML-N during May 11 polls

Islamabad: Pakistan Tehrik-i-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan is confident of defeating Nawaz Sharif's Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) in the May 11 elections.

Khan, who was addressing a public meeting, said no force could withstand the "youth tsunami". He said PTI, with the support of strong-willed youth would secure a thumping victory in the coming elections, reports The Dawn.

He said the PTI would defeat the corrupt and plunderers of national wealth with massive public support. Khan vowed to fight for the people's rights and resolve their issues on war footing if the PTI is voted to power. He said the PTI would also put an end to the exploitation of small workers and civil servants. The former cricketer accused the PML-N and PPP of "destroying the system" during their tenures.

Khan said no one could stop the country from metamorphosing into a new Pakistan as soon as PTI came into power. He said a new Pakistan was inevitable, adding it was bound to come into being. He said that after coming in to power, the PTI would get rid of the power crisis in the country, and added that a mini dam would also be constructed and Pakistan would be able to export electricity.

He said May 11th will be the end of obsolete system and sun of new Pakistan will rise. He said all resources will be utilised to eradicate corruption, unemployment and pricehike and will start a golden era.He said, adding, because of corrupt leadership people are leading miserable life ,facing 18 hours of load shedding.

On the road with Imran Khan
By Rob Crilly

Imran Khan, the leader of Pakistan's Movement for Justice party

My interview was driving off into the distance at a sedate five miles per hour behind bullet-proof glass, armed police on either side. There was only one thing for it. I ran alongside Imran Khan's armoured car, banging my notebook on his window.
"Imran, it's me, it's me," I shouted, wishing I hadn't decided to wear traditional shalwaar kameez for once in an effort to blend in. Mind you, had I been wearing a suit, I still wasn't entirely sure Pakistan's most famous man and a candidate for prime minister would remember who I was.
We'd agreed the interview by text message over the previous 24 hours. Plans had chopped and changed, but the final agreement was to meet in Attock and head back to Islamabad in his car. But such is the odd combination of chaos and eye-watering security that attends any political rally in Pakistan, nothing can be taken for granted.
The car's driver hesitated and Imran spotted me. A door opened and although the Elite Punjabi Police detachment had other ideas, I managed to slither inside.
Things have changed since I last rode on Imran's campaign. Eighteen months ago we travelled together to Peshawar, a much-bombed city close to the lawless tribal areas. He had little security that day and he explained that he didn't need an armoured car because his message of withdrawing from America's war on terror was popular. Since then his friends have provided one. And as he catches his breath in the front seat I can see his shoulders are broadened with body armour beneath his loose shirt.
The issue of security is on his mind. While other leaders have cut back on appearances, Imran's election strategy depends on rallying his youthful supporters with barn-storming personal appearances to create a sense of momentum, a feeling that a tidal wave of change will sweep the country on May 11. That brings risks.
“It is worrying. According to the interior ministry I’m on the top-five hit list," he said.
Fiery rhetoric and smears that he is part of a Zionist conspiracy to take over the country – the legacy of his marriage to Jemima Goldsmith – are circulating again, as his campaign builds.
His protection team takes no chances. The convoy soon accelerates to a breakneck pace, dodging in and out of brightly painted trucks.
Inside the car, and despite the risks, Imran says a longer campaign would have given him a better chance to overhaul the more established parties. He sacrificed momentum for much of this year with internal elections, trying to imprint the sort of fairness on his own Movement for Justice party as he wants to bring to the country. It made him enemies who felt they should have had senior positions.
“A lot of them left," he says. "My first cousin, when the district organisation did not recommend him, and I did not give him a ticket, he’s gone and stood as an independent. People are not used to this. They are used to the chairman dishing out tickets. I didn’t dish out any tickets."
In contrast, he slates the Pakistan People's Party and President Asif Ali Zardari, who has been praised by international donors for keeping a fractious coalition together for a full five-year term.
"Our politics is populism, going right down to the people," he says. "Theirs is a numbers game, where they get these big names but then they need 80 ministries to pay back their political bribes. It’s about 'What’s in it for me?'.
“Zardari has been able to rule Pakistan for five years, the worst ever government, with a minority government because he paid them their price. He gave them what they wanted."
It is dark by the time we leave the last rally in Taxila on the Grand Trunk Road, which runs from Bangladesh at one end to Kabul at the other. We turn on to dusty back roads and lose all but one of the police trucks that have been keeping watch.
“We are on our own now,” says one of the security guards, keeping an eye peeled for motorcycles getting too close. It is a favourite way of delivering a bomb.
Our speed never drops as we cut through recently harvested wheat fields. The last stop is the country home of a supporter, not far from the capital Islamabad. Mutton curry and chicken kebabs are served in a cool, grassy courtyard.
Imran looks weary as the adrenaline of the day wears off.
“It’s tough. Thank god for my cricket training,” he says.
