Will not be undermined, Imran Khan tells Wajihuddin
DAWN.COM — PUBLISHED about 2 hours ago
ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan in a July 4 letter addressing retd Justice Wajihuddin Ahmed blamed the retired judge for "damaging the PTI".

"All your pronouncements are unwarranted and devoid of underlying authority besides damaging the PTI," he said, accusing Wajihuddin of 'overstepping his mandate'.

The PTI chief said Wajihuddin's "pronouncements since dissolution of the election tribunal ... encouraged opportunists within the party and those who were expelled for valid reasons to exploit the situation and settle personalised vendettas against party leaders", which he said may "lead to undermining the party's public standing and provide pretext to our political opponents causing growing concern among a vast swathe of party workers."

He also spoke of a "man with question marks over his conduct including on financial matters" who he had warned the tribunal about, saying he had targeted "senior and respectable party members in what has evidently become a personalised vendetta."

Imran Khan said Wajihuddin no longer had the authority to issue edicts on behalf of the "defunct election tribunal", which was "established for a specific purpose and with time-bound existence". He said the tribunals job was to probe petitions relating to intra-party elections.

The PTI chairman said the tribunal had been dissolved as its recommendations had been implemented.

"The tribunal had no authority to order shortening the terms of office bearers of the party as these were contained in the PTI constitution. Nor did the tribunal have the authority to assert that a caretaker set up be appointed immediately, members of which would not be able to participate in the next intra-party elections," he said.

The PTI chairman concluded by saying that, although he respected the elder, he could not allow him or anyone else to "damage" the party by trangressing the limits of their mandate.

He 'formally requested' Wajihuddin to "refrain from making any more pronouncements on behalf of the defunct election tribunal."

IK is more than capable enough to destroy PTI itself. No need for any Tom, Dick and Harry to do that.

I am for PTI, but this intra-party probe affair is getting hilarious by the passing day. IK cannot even control things in his own party and he somehow expect his voters to believe he is the right candidate to run the country. Ok, I don't want people around IK to take all his orders with 'Aqeedat', but they should at least show some respect to his authority as party chairman. It seems to me, the real power of PTI's lies in someone else's hands. As IK has repeatedly written to Wajihuddin that his tribunal is now defunct, yet he keeps operating on his own issuing new orders. Why would he do that unless he is getting paid or urged to do it by his handlers to undermine IK's authority as party chairman?

imran khan does not have a party police force that he arrest justice sb .justice sb is living in lala land and needs to be reminded that tribunal is defunct and he needs to take a hike .Imran khan has the authority that is why no one is kicked out on the basis of this tribunals verdict as it was given after tribunal was null and void and imran khan is sticking to his words of new intra party elections as the findings of justice sbs tribunal which was the mandate given to him and after this decision tribunal stands null and void now.

He is retired remember. He doesn't need any more dukans as he is well paid pensioner.

I am not anti-IK or even anti-PTI in that sense. I just don't understand IK's many actions and inactions. Like this intra-party election probe thing was a great thing to do. And the judge was supposed to be independent, fine. What happened was that when he pointed out senior politicians like Jet Tareen involved in rigging, IK refused to expel him from the party. So now it seems he just wants to take revenge on IK for ignoring his decisions as ex-honourable judge!

he is doing this for a very long time now janab say pocha b laakin koi side decide nae kaar patay k ye hay kis taraf

I am usually do not take hard sides in politics. Generally I am pro-PTI as long they do good things. And whenever they fail, its my responsibility to criticize.

.justice sb is living in lala land and needs to be reminded that tribunal is defunct and he needs to take a hike

Yeah, maybe he is just too old and trying panga with IK in order to get famous.

he did not have any power to expel anyone from the party .the mandate was that elections are fair or not simple and when tribunal gave verdict that elections were not fair than Imran Khan decidec to do re elections in party .

ab agar A sawal ka jawab Z dayn gay tu justice sb k saath yehi kuch ho ga .

He is where I was standing in 2014...

I am glad!

he is always nor here nor there this is called pit siapa nothing to be glad about.jab dakha aik tarf ho lia ja dikha k ab baat nae ban rahi tu dosri taraaf ho lia

If so, then IK should stop writing long letters to honourable ex-Justice urging him to please stop giving new judgments. It doesn't make any sense, as if the tribunal is already defunct, why even care what this ex-Justice has to say anyway?

 

[saurav]

Some time in near future PTI should start thinking of its own "-1" ...

No, I actually I am on the side of 'What's right'. There are many things I haven't supported during dharnas as well, such as IK's call for civil disobedience that of course failed miserably.

That's exactly what I am saying. Justice sahib is purposely undermining IK's authority as party chairman. A sane person such as an ex-Judge would never do that, unless there is something fishy going on behind the curtains.

After living in Norway I am expecting better standards of democratic values from him. In democracy you don't have to side with a political party and say Aameen to each of its nonsense. You can play issue based politics and criticise all the leaders wherever you deem appropriate. In Pakistan unfortunately people take politics as alternative to religion and keep defending the party leadership no matter how weak the argument is.

Your vote counts only on the day of election and you can think about analysing the best amongst the lot.... but you don't have to sell your vision to some political party and act as a blind follower for the whole life
