PTI takes unprecedented decision in PK 78 Peshawar after tragic death of Haroon Bilour

[war&peace]

Core leadership was but I doubt this is the case anymore...becaus6if it maintains such a position or will loose all of its votes

Anp has resurgence in Karachi and some parts of KPK..the injustices done in Roa Anwar case will help it get a seat or two in Karachi

Well some forces are up to some nasty stuff as Rao Anwar got bailed just before the elections so as to strengthen the position of ANP and PTM.

Exactly that incident came to my mind. In fact, if PTI acts as an institution then everything should be decided on merit. But let's hope it turns out to be positive. If I was in IK's place.. I won't have done that. I would rather personally go to their home, express my feelings and condolence but won't withdraw the candidate in anyone's favour because it is unfair with the people of this constituency. What if they hate ANP and want to vote for PTI...in this case, they will not vote for ANP but PTI may lose them for good. Politics should be about ideologies and not personal likes and dislikes.

It's no big thing

Norwegian---please read above post.

This is not cricket match where he re-called and indian batsman who was declared out by the umpire to come bat again

And then take his wicket on the very next ball

Hi,

That drama can only be played in a cricket field---and even then---it was against the rules of the game---the umpire had given the player out---.

IK had no right to call the player back---did he ever consult with the 10 other players---or did he chose to make god's decision on his own---. He maybe the team captain but there were other players as well---.

In politics---there is no next ball in the next minute---. It is a 5 years term---.

And as my colleague mentioned---what was the fault of the PTI candidate standing from that seat---how about the public---they might not have given vote to the dead man's party---.

I do not support this action neither i criticise it. Its just a fashion these days to criticise each and every act of IK. Even those that he didn't do. Just say a thread by some member criticising IK for state and judiciary failure in Naqeeb Ullah Mehsud case.

We Pakistanis overstretch over messiahs, take the example of CJP. Even if someone lose his Chappal in Masjid want CJP to take an action on that. IK is not a God, yet. We can not expect him to be right, and present, at every occasion.

Hi,

This is not a minor issue---but an extremely serious one---.

The messiahs need to learn to work as a team---. The team needs to understand to not give away any ground that it does not need to---.

Now if that man who died---had won that seat and was later killed---the seat could have been given to his spouse---like they do in the US as well---.

But to just walk away from that seat even before the people have caste their vote---that is something really strange---.

It is like taking the choice of the people to vote away from them---is this democracy then---.

Thats true. You have a very valid point. But Pakistan Have a 50th xerox copy of democracy. Which greatly need reforms and some ethics among politicians and voters. I think this step of IK will help bringing both Parties and its supporters close. There is two sides of every story, always. Positive and negative. We Pakistanis always think about the negative side and try to dig conspiracy theories out of every act of kindness. Which shouldn't be the way.

PTI takes unprecedented decision in PK 78 Peshawar after tragic death of Haroon Bilour
16 Jul, 2018

ISLAMABAD – Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf has reportedly withdrawn its candidate in favour of a slain political rival’s wife, who is running for a provincial seat in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s capital after his assassination in a suicide attack last week.

The party has yet to make an official announcement.

Haroon Bilour’s wife announced last Thursday contesting the forthcoming election from PK-78 Peshawar, the same constituency her husband had also been contesting the polls from. Haroon was among 20 other martyrs after a suicide bomber detonated himself at a corner meeting of Awami National Party (ANP) in Peshawar late Tuesday. Two of 65 injured of the attack succumbed to their wounds earlier today, taking the death toll to 22.

The following day, the Imran Khan’s party suspended its election campaign for a day to mourn Bilour’s martyrdom.

“We are suspending our election activities in KP where party flag will fly at half-mast to mourn the martyrdom of Haroon Bilour and ANP workers,” PTI spokesman Fawad Chauhdry said on Wednesday.

Calling the suicide blast as barbaric and condemnable act, he said the PTI will share grief of the Bilour family.

Haroon was son of Bashir Ahmed Bilour, a senior ANP figure who, himself, was martyred in a suicide blast back in 2012.

“Our morale is high,” said Haroon’s son, Danial Bilour, while confirming that his mother would be contesting the election from his father’s constituency PK-78 Peshawar.

Haroon Bilour’s wife is the daughter of former minister of Sindh Irfanullah Marwat, and granddaughter of former President of Pakistan, late Ghulam Ishaq Khan.

Pakistan is set to hold general elections in July 25

I appreciate, so we are now showing honor and are honoring the martyrs ...

Although I hate ANP and MQM for bloodshed in Karachi, but if true this act of PTI is remarkable, now other should also raise upto the mark and keep on political hostilities but when it comes to working for Pakistan we should work as a team ... Even opposition job is very critical in keeping a check over the gov ...

and @RealNapster
No one can be right all the time... a few mistakes can be the difference between a victory or defeat..a single mistake has made huge difference in outcomes of major conflicts in the history..
When you are not the smartest person gifted with some divine knowledge about future and invisible, the best bet is to stick to the principles.. I have a personal experience, after I finished my edu, I started my own business with a partner....we established some rules to play but with as we got into nitty gritty details of daily business, we started to overlook the rules and started talked to each through verbal communication only... and it ended really bad for me...I lost a lot of money and also customers..due to the greed of my partner who charged them extra for the service in my name...so that business ended right there...Started a new business in a different direction but then i stuck to the principles...everything written well documented, registered, recorded, perused. double checked.. and today, everything is working fine despite the overload of documentation...everything is decided on its merits... because I'm not the smartest kid around the block so sticking to the rules helps avoid big blunders...

Hi,

I am against this action---. There should have been no with drawl---.

The PTI member for this seat did not do anything wrong---.

A certain section of the 'anti-Army' lot in Pakistan are arguing that Haroon Bilour was killed so that PTI could be successful. Such a move by PTI, if confirmed, would be a resounding rejection of said conspiracy theory.

I believe Ghulam Bilour was quoted as saying that 'TTP didn't kill H Bilour and that he was killed by those who benefit from his death' (whatever that means).

[pakman12]

A good gesture from PTI but who's to say ANP will win because of that. What if some other party wins instead due to lack of competition from PTI.

Hi,

You also have to look at the deviousness of the opponent---if such is the case---.

Then I would rather contest and try to win the seat than let that devious opponent get into the assembly---.

I’m not familiar with the ideology of Haroon Bilour’s wife, but if Daniyal’s (son) views are any indication, she should be pro-Pakistan and anti-PTM. Perhaps someone more familiar with her views can shed some more light on the subject.
