Genuine Concerns of the Youth and new Entrants of PTI

The PTI Chairman has been quite popular among the youth as they see hope in Imran Khan. For Pakistanis badly want change. A change, which could give them a secure, prosperous, and a proud Pakistan.
 

A large number of persons are joining PTI because they believe in what is said by the chairman of PTI. While his party really needs people in its fold to become a strong political force. The chosen slogans of change are beautiful and catch people attention.

Imran Khan had been a cricket star of international fame; people loved his cricket, style etc. After retiring from cricket , he did marvelous jobs of making Shaukat Khanum Cancer Hospital in Lahore and lately building the Numl Univeristy in Mianwali. These philanthropic projects of Imran Khan have won people hearts. His bold stance is again an attribute of his personality.

Keeping in view all the positive aspects , yet there have been some observations regarding the recent past of Imran Khan's party.

Some people who have joined PTI , have not clean past, with respect to their political as well as financial record. This factor is a disturbing fact. Because these people have money , resources and group of people with them. Their influence in the local politics of PTI would definitely affect the party's policy.

Though the senior party members and the chairman have been reiterating that such persons would not be given party tickets in elections, but this is not possible.

Even if the PTI does not award tickets to these people directly , these influential people would manage to get tickets for their puppets or for their relatives and eventually the same old persons would be the beneficiaries, like Benami accounts . Their influence would be very much felt in the area where they live.

Thus the party's decision of accepting such people is fundamentally negating its earlier stance of clean peoples party.PTI is tarnishing its image because of its this act of accepting people with whatever political , financial back ground.

Imran Khan in his various interviews admitted that, nobody could defeat them, but they themselves, by choosing wrong persons. And wrong people are very much added in party's fold.

These people have made fortunes illegally, through misusing their political positions and wrong doing, even some of them were patwareez etc. turn coats, land grabbers, opportunists .They were with Musharaf when he was in power, and are always with government of the time.

The youth, who have reposed their confidence in Imran Khan have been betrayed. They are not aware about the character of the politicians who have joined PTI and shifted their loyalties, because most of the PTI lovers are urban, and they hardly have interest in rural political persons and moreover about their character. These youth are even least bothered about the political people of their own constituencies.

Would Imran Khan be able to bring change or tsunami with old wine in the new bottle.
This is very difficult to answer. Nevertheless, the party may win seats to maintain the status quo but not to bring change, which is an aspiration of all Pakistani masses.
