PTI discounts friendly advice, going to SC on Panama leaks
Even the PTI is apparently in two minds on k**cking at the doors of the apex court. Imran Khan is resolute to exercise this option as well while some other party leaders think it is **t a prudent choice. Senior PPP leader Aitzaz Ahsan has publicly advised the PTI **t to approach the Supreme Court. He did **t explain the reason behind his opposition to the move, but it is widely believed that he held this view supposing that ** relief may be forthcoming through this method. Since April when the offshore shells, owned by Pakistani politicians, surfaced and when shortly afterwards some other such firms were detected otherwise, Aitzaz Ahsan had been closely working with the PTI in hammering the government, pressing that a judicial probe by a Supreme Court commission should exclusively focus on the prime minister and then look into others’ affairs. The PPP represented in the **w dormant bipartisan parliamentary committee through him and the PTI had cooperated and even jointly boycotted its proceedings saying that the other side was **t serious and sincere in investigation of the members of the ruling family. Imran Khan and some other PTI leaders strongly think that they would be able to get political dividends during the hearings of their petition in the apex court. But others feel that the outcome may **t be different than what was produced by the judicial commission that had inquired into their election rigging charges. At the end of the day, the PTI had got embarrassment and disappointment when all of its allegations were shot down by this forum. While the streets have **t got hot due to low-key agitation on the offshore companies the way the PTI had dreamt, Imran Khan is desperately trying to keep the issue alive through different means. He wants to take his protest campaign till the next general elections in 2018 to use it as a major point to attract votes. The PTI, at times aided by the PPP, is using all options to run this drive. While an**uncing to go to the streets by launching the “movement for accountability” to intensify pressure on the government into accepting the Terms of Reference (ToRs) of the opposition parties specifically the PTI and PPP, the PTI has approached the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) through Dr Yasmeen Rashed, who was defeated by Nawaz Sharif from Lahore in the 2013 general elections, seeking disqualification of the premier. Later, it filed a reference against the prime minister with National Assembly Speaker Sardar Ayaz Sadiq, which was an afterthought as it was submitted after the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) had done so against Imran Khan. Afterward, the PML-N also sent a similar plea to the speaker against senior PTI leader Jehangir Tareen to the speaker. Ayaz Sadiq has a lot of work to do to deal with the flood of references. Conscious of the fact that his rulings may be called into question in superior courts, he is exercising extra care and caution in reaching his determination on all these references. In case of an adverse decision for the PTI, it will certainly agitate against him as well. As luck would have it, one nerve-shattering crisis after the other has completely overshadowed the PTI’s protest campaign, which even otherwise was **t taking off and proved to be a **n-starter when it began from Peshawar earlier this month. The crowd participation has drastically gone down, worrying the organizers. **w, Imran Khan is putting his act together for grand public show on September 3 when he will lead a march from Gujranwala to Lahore. After that, there will again be lull for quite some time as he is going to Saudi Arabia to perform Haj. First, the Quetta carnage, which claimed lives of several lawyers, wiping out a whole generation of legal attorneys of Balochistan, eclipsed every political and other activity. The nation took several days to come out of this shock. Subsequently, Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) founder Altaf Hussain’s blistering diatribe against Pakistan engaged everybody’s attention and every other issue became totally secondary. This continues to be under the public focus. His scorching attack on Pakistan provoked some inane minds to allege that the federal government was behind the MQM founder’s harangue. This was obviously an appalling flight of imagination out of sheer frustration. But such elements ig**red the fact that Altaf Hussain has his own anti-Pakistan agenda to follow. His latest tirade has turned him into somebody that even his party leaders don’t dare to mention by name, as the MQM Quaid. أكثر... ??????? ??????: PTI discounts friendly advice, going to SC on Panama leaks || ??????: ahlam1399 || ??????: اسم منتداك
