Islamabad—Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Vice President Dr Shireen Mazari on Monday admitted that differences were emerging between the top party leaders and said that there was a “debate and dissension” within the Party meetings through which a consensus would be evolved.
“Given the highly democratic nature of the PTI, there was a “debate and dissension” within the Party meetings through which a consensus would be evolved. All the new people who have joined the PTI have accepted the party’s ideology. PTI respects all its members equally and no one is vilified or insulted,” said Mazari while addressing a press conference here at PTI central secretariat flanked by Azhar Tariq, Secretary Finance of the PTI.
Responding to a question about saying a big no to joining the PTI by PML-Q leaders Marvi Memon and Amir Muqam, Shireen Mazari made it clear that both politicians had been rejected by the Party itself. Asked if her claim was correct, why Imran Khan had signed appointment letter of Marvi Memon as party’s secretary information, Mazari admitted that Mr Khan had indeed signed the letter of Marvi Memon’s appointment but claimed that the Party did not ratify the Chairman’s decision.
“We have a strong democratic tradition in the party and the Chairman respected the party’s decision - This is how democracy works,” she asserted.
Se also contradicted the notion of a downslide wave in her party’s popularity amongst masses and claimed that the PTI Tsunami was deliberately being controlled so as to allow the Party to absorb the large groups of the people who wanted to join her party. She claimed that PTI’s Tsunami was heading towards southern Punjab and many heavyweights would join her party in next few days.
“The first wave of the Tsunami in southern Punjab would be commencing from tomorrow (Tuesday) beginning with a public meeting in Bahawalnagar and then Imran Khan would address public meetings in Hasilpur, Ahmadpur East, Muzaffargarh and Khanewal,” said Mazari and claimed that important politicians would announce joining the PTI during these public meetings.
