Dharna hey dharna dharne k beche kuch bhi nahi hey
Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan has expressed dissatisfaction over the performance of the party’s Rawalpindi chapter and its six MPAs for not bringing enough people to the sit-in.
Imran Khan summoned all leaders from Rawalpindi on Wednesday and met them inside the Azadi Truck on the Constitution Avenue. The meeting was attended by President PTI North Punjab Sadaqat Abbasi and MPAs Saddique Khan, Malik Taimoor Masood, Asif Mehmood, Rashid Hafeez, Ijaz Khan Jazi and Arif Abbasi.
He asked them to bring 200 people from each union council for the next two to three days, to show the party’s street strength in the ‘final stage’.
“If all office-bearers attended the sit-in, then more than 1,000 people will remain on the protest venue. The responsibility lies on the shoulders of the local leaders to improve the attendance of the gathering in the next two or three days, which will be final,” he quoted the party chairman’s views.
He said the party leaders had informed the chairman that most of the people avoided to come in front due to the presence of Awami Muslim League (AML) leader Sheikh Rashid Ahmed on the container.
He said the party leaders had been asked to remain loyal to the party and be ready for the final announcement of the movement.
The official said the presence of a large crowd was necessary for the gathering, because the PAT workers were higher in number and PTI needs to increase the number of its own workers at the protest venue.
He said the party chairman also questioned the resignations of the MPAs, who told him that the Punjab Assembly speaker had made phone calls to the MPAs for verification of their resignations one day before.
“All MPAs were assured that the party would give them party tickets again and accommodate them in the cabinet if PTI manages to form a government in the next elections. The party chairman was hopeful that the next general elections were near,” he said.
PTI District President and MPA Arif Abbasi told Dawn that the party members held a meeting with the chairman and discussed party issues for the next few days.
He said the party asked them to bring maximum number of people at the sit-in for next two to three days, adding that Imran Khan wanted to improve the morale of the local leadership and heard their problems during the meeting.
He said the PTI Punjab chapter also held a meeting and discussed the current situation after the departure of Javed Hashmi.

Court of contempt and and lawyer debate about Altaf hussain quaid (MQM)
The apex court on Friday had summoned MQM chief Altaf Hussain to appear before it in person on Jan 7 and defend his statements against the judges.Prominent lawyer and Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Senator Aitzaz Ahsan on Saturday advised Altaf Hussain to appear in court after the Supreme Court issued a contempt notice to the Muttahidda Qaumi Movement (MQM) chief over “his contemptuous assertions against the judiciary”.However, whether the court’s order was right or wrong is another debate altogether.Speaking after the inauguration of an art exhibition in Lahore, the former Supreme Court Bar Association president said the judiciary should stay away from politics, and that the judges and politicians should both tend to their own responsibilities.“Prime facie, we are of the opinion that the language used is not only contemptuous but that he (Mr Hussain) advances threat which is tantamount to interference with and obstruction of the process of the court by advancing threats to the judges of the Supreme Court and it also tended to bring the Judges into hatred, ridicule and contempt,” said the court order dictated by the three-judge bench headed by Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry.Responding to the notice, Hussain had said the party’s response in this regard would be in accordance with the law and the Constitution. Hussain said he would respond to the contempt notice after consulting his legal advisers, appealing to his party’s members and supporters to refrain from taking the law into their hands.MQM is a key coalition member of the PPP-led government and is the largest political party in Karachi, Pakistan’s commercial capital.
