KARACHI:
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf seems to be cleaning house in the two provinces in which it fared poorest in last year’s elections.
The president of the party’s Balochistan chapter was unceremoniously removed from office a few days ago over what was claimed to be poor performance in the province. Now, party insiders have revealed that its sluggish leadership in Sindh may result in another drastic restructure.
A source within the party told The Express Tribune that PTI Vice-Chairman Shah Mehmood Qureshi’s sudden involvement in Sindh foreshadows Sindh president Nadir Leghari’s failure to amass support.
“Qureshi is active in Sindh because Imran Khan is disappointed with Leghari’s performance,” the source revealed. He said the PTI chairman has tasked Qureshi with reorganising Sindh since Leghari failed to capitalise on the PTI’s vote bank.
“A reshuffle is on the cards.”
Another senior party official confirmed that Imran is ‘very upset with Leghari’s performance’. He said the PTI Sindh president opted to endorse a Pakistan Peoples Party candidate instead of contesting the general elections, for which he was given the ticket.
Leghari has also been accused of rigging in intra-party elections by PTI leader Ali Zaidi, who contested him for the Sindh president’s slot. Complaints have also been made against him for absence at sit-ins against rigging and other issues in Karachi.
“Leghari is still hanging in there because of his closeness to Jahangir Tareen… Qureshi has been asked to look into Sindh, keeping in mind the notion that Leghari will be shown the door,” the party official said.
Reportedly, Imran earlier asked Tareen to settle things with the PTI Sindh president owing to their closeness, but to no avail.
When contacted, Leghari rejected reports of a reshuffle and said he was away due to personal reasons. He explained the PTI vice-chairman’s presence in Sindh, saying, “Both Qureshi and I have links in the province, and we want to gather support for the party.”
“I even asked the chairman to spend more time here.”
Defending the decision to endorse a PPP candidate in the general elections, Leghari said, “My now late mother was placed on ventilator at the time, between April 13 to May 14 last year… I did not contest for this reason.”
When asked about PTI’s dwindling popularity in Sindh, he said, “How much time did Imran Khan spend here? Is that the Sindh president’s fault?”
“Should the Punjab president not also be removed for PTI’s failure to win a seat in Lahore if that’s the case?”
Qureshi also denied reports that Leghari was on his way out, and said that he will work with the elected Sindh president to improve PTI’s position in the province.
Qureshi’s Sindh plan
The PTI vice-chairman has been tasked with gathering support in the Mirpur Khas division, Sukkur, Umerkot, Sanghar and Karachi. Although he lost seats in Tharparkar and Umerkot in the 2013 elections, party insiders say Qureshi still has strong support in the region.
The vice-chairman himself said his recent visits to Sindh were part of a plan to gather support in the province. “We realised that as a political party, we did not pay enough attention to Sindh in the past. Even in the campaign, we did not have enough time,” he said.
“I feel I should play my role as the vice-chairman of the party and as a candidate who contested from Sindh. I have convinced the chairman that he needs to focus here.”
During his recent rally in Umerkot, with Qureshi by his side, Imran apologised for the party’s poor performance in Sindh.
“I apologise that the tsunami which started from Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa stopped in Punjab. But now we will go to every district of Sindh,” Imran had said.

Dude have been watching you for a long time and I think you are one of those guys who support PML-N and don't mind but you are paid for it, right? As for Imran Khan asking this, every sane person shall ask that because he would be the incharge of that province.

He was there to observe talent hunt scheme, sitting on benches. Decided to give a speech right there. Bars were NOT set up for his protecton like Showbaz & Noora-bros set up bullet-proof glasses around them.
If it was showbaz sharif he'll throw all players\participants out of ground & would set a HUGE stage inside the ground to do his showbazee...

What is he doing?
He is doing that a large number of so-called Muslims in Indo-Pak-Iran-Afghan-Bangla region do. No matter how wrong it is. I used to do that too. Not anymore.
But they say; Oh! we just read Fatihah on grave nothing more... I understand that praying for the dead is OK. But one should NOT face towards the grave, that gives wrong impression to young impressionable mind of kids. Some generations later they'll be literally worshiping graves.
Do not sit on the graves and do not pray facing towards them.
Sahih Muslim 972 a,,, In-book ref:Book 11, Hadith 126,,, Online English ref:Book 4, Hadith 2121
It was narrated from Aishah that the Prophet said: "May Allah curse people who take the graves of their prophets as Masjids."
(Sahih)
Sunan an-Nasa'i 2046,,, In-book ref:Book 21, Hadith 230,,, English translation:Vol. 3, Book 21, Hadith 2048
But don't worry guys, I will still vote for IK. We don't have any better option so far.
Unless I myself jump into politics. hehehe
Whether dead or alive-as-in-Shaheed, as long as one is passed away from this worldly life they cannot hear:
Even Shaheed cannot hear. Even if they could, they cannot intercede with God on our behalf. So no use asking for their Waseelah.
Quran:35:22:
اور آپ انہیں سنانے والے نہیں جو قبروں میں ہیں
Q:35:22: but thou cannot make those to hear who are in graves...
Quran:30:52:-
بے شک تو مردوں کو نہیں سنا سکتا ...
Q:30:52: So verily thou canst not make the dead to hear.
.
.

Once someone attributed a statement to Prophet that Prophet said dead can hear.
When Aisha(r.a) heard that, she corrected it. She reiterated that Prophet did NOT say such, rather he said something else...
Aisha corrected the false statement attributed to Prophet here:
Sahih Bukhari::59:317: Narated By Ibn Umar : The Prophet stood at the well of Badr (which contained the corpses of the pagans) and said, "Have you found true what your lord promised you?" Then he further said, "They now hear what I say." This was mentioned before 'Aisha and she said, "(No) But the Prophet (actually) said, 'Now they know very well that what I used to tell them was the truth.' Then she recited (the Holy Verse): "You cannot make the dead hear... till the end of Verse)." (Quran:30.52)
Aisha corrected two of the the false statements:
Sahih Bukhari:59:316: Narated By Hisham's father : It was mentioned before 'Aisha that Ibn 'Umar attributed the following statement to the Prophet "The dead person is punished in the grave because of the crying and lamentation Of his family." On that, 'Aisha said, "(No) But Allah's Messenger (actually) said, 'The dead person is punished for his crimes and sins while his family cry over him then." She added, "And this is similar to the (falsely attributed) statement of Allah's Apostle when he stood by the (edge of the) well which contained the corpses of the pagans killed at Badr, 'They hear what I say.' She added, "But he (actually) said now they know very well what I used to tell them was the truth . " 'Aisha then recited: 'You cannot make the dead hear.' (Quran:30.52) and 'You cannot make those who are in their Graves, hear you.' (35.22) that is, when they had taken their places in the (Hell) Fire."

Actually leader agreed with you.. @Leader basically said that IK was just praying to God for the dead. Not praying to the dead for Waseelah=intercession.

I used to do the same.... but one day it all changed by giving it an educated thought and learning the basics of Islam, if an illiterate villager do it, we pass with no comment. as i understand the darkness in rural areas, waiting to be exploited, by enemies of Islam but seriously, he is educated.
I also understand, when he go to the grave of an army person and talk to him, as he is not dead, but still he can't pull his hands out for his needs. while, Hazrat Ganj Bakhs is dead, until the resurrection day.
