Recently passed months have been very turbulent both, for the people of Pakistan especially those from Sawat and neighbouring regions, and for members and to some extent for the supporters of PTI. The so called soft or apologetic stance of PTI on the Taliban issue has not only caused immense criticism on the party, it has also damaged party’s reputation as a platform of upright ideology and leadership. Both the common man and the sympathisers appear to be distancing themselves from the party. Perilous fallout of this situation is the ever spreading confusion among the dedicated and committed party members.

I am looking for PTI policies related to functioning of judiciary when it comes to land disputes and reforms. Secondly, how does PTI wants to reform the Hudood ordinance.

Pakistan was initially established in 1947 and then officially named as “Islamic Republic of Pakistan” in 1956. The sole purpose of the existence of Islamic republic of Pakistan was to develop and implement an Islamic system, which would let the Muslims of Pakistan to freely embrace Islamic values and principles (e.g. equity, justice, humanity etc.), a.k.a. Shariat, in their daily life.

It will be the biggest boost for the party ever, If NA-55 makes the win for PTI, so, please start sharing suggestion to make effective campaign for NA-55.

Without a vision where justice is easily accessible, where a standardized school system will not disappoint, where basic health facilities are available, where peasants till their own land and the feudal lord has been decapitated, where men and women learn skills to become economically independent, where minds are taught to be progressive, to love and further knowledge, to make music, poetry, art, to create, without encouraging and establishing these ingredients and mechanisms, the war against barbaric Taliban terrorism cannot be won. 

With operation in Swat further intensifying and public opinion sharply swinging against the Talibans - thanks to Sufi Muhammad’s public statements against mainland Pakistani constitution – it seems like that all those who have a difference of opinion regarding military operation are dubbed as Taliban sympathizer. This is a perfect example of “Either you are with us, or against us”, a trademark of Bush administration. Imran Khan seems to be an obvious target here, with articles and letters constantly showing up against him with one assertion common in all of them – Imran Khan is a Taliban supporter.

It was hot – very hot – extremely hot. And even hotter for the people who have lived our their lives in the great cooler valley of Swat. I sat with them and talked to them informally having the edge of language – they loved it and they wanted to share more and more. A little girl aged 7, looking at the cup of team said this is not tea its water……she made everyone laugh there. All kids gathered around me and told me that they wanted to play as they used to play in their own land – yes they are landlords

After NS ( 55%) and Zardari (9%) IK is third at 5% among the leaders who can lead Pakistan effectively in current turmoil. PTI's popularity is 3% along with MQM while PML n is 62% and PPP 17%.

This poem to highlight the plight of our elders, our mothers and daughters and our childeren caught up in the conflict, designed in the corridors of Washington Hill DC and our own political failures through years of neglect and discrimination.

By displacing at least one million people, according to UN, killing hundreds & wounding thousands thru heavy bombardment, At last Ruling Elite has successfully established the writ of Government on the houses vacated by these millions of people. Bravo! Ruling Elite.

Ruling Elite committed one of the most barbaric inhuman sins in 80s when the Ruling Elite ill-groomed a generation for a false jihad to kill Red Army & rented out Pakistan’s territory to foreign elements in return of dollars from West & Middle East.

This poem on PTI Chairman,  Imran Khan, and those repeated bans upon him entering Karachi  and finally he will be there soon.

Ruling Elite is not scared of Imran Khan but they are scared of the symbol that Imran khan is carrying; what is this symbol? Let's dig into it.

The political poem depicting journey in all its struggles, challenges and its effect!

Don't confuse yourself that forwarding the clock in summer & back in winter is the only way to achieve energy saving. You can achieve this by changing schedule of working hours as well.

The tribute to Major(Retd) Gulzar who passed away upon the hills of Bagnotar, during membership compaign. He was sixty years of age and an exaxmple to us all  to see how his spirit, dedication and passion worked for a cause which is the responsibility of all for change and for progression in Pakistan. Definitely one of the great PTI workers..We salute him. 

Now the question to ALL OF YOU, is where we are in that list? :)

President, lets move ahead with strengthening institutions over personalities by changing our attitude as well to reflect positive change.

There has been a lot of sadness because of the Swat flogging incident and total condemnation from almost every quarter. The day on which Mr Imran Khan's statement was issued by me there were many press reports in Frontier newspapers in which some elements of the Taliban had condemned the incident and others said that the incident happened during the time of total lawlessness and before the peace deal.  A sign that most of them were on the back foot and embarassed, though some are not.

Finally I would like to say thank you to all these rulers for their extraordinary leadership skills & visionary thinking for bringing an internal crisis of Afghanistan (the battle between monarchy, communism & tribalism) into Pakistan in just three decades.

Cannot you imprison or impose
The media and the voice of the nation
Cannot we remain in fear and in weakness
The drops of our blood now the marks
Of revolution, of change and progression!

Being a political party we have to get political mileage out of each & every issue raised & followed up by Pakistan Tahreek-e-Insaf. It is as important as the following up of an issue itself. There should be research wing which would make sure political mileage earned after the resolution of the issue.

I was present at the Chief Justice's house last night at 2:00 am when news broke out that he is about to be restored. By that time we didn't know what would be the modalities but it was good enough news to show our presence.

Meray PTI kei aziz dosto aap ki mehnat rang lei aa. The CJ will be restored.  Remember you were a part of it. Every one of us had input directly to the movement. Years from now you can proudly tell generations to come that you didn't sit idle rather you did whatever was possible in your might to establish the rule of true law.

“If you wish to converse with me”, Voltaire said, “Define your terms”.  Pakistan is a funny country where we excel at changing the meaning of the words to use them for our own benefit.

The miracles of change, the miracle of unity
It’s time for you to form a soul
Still there, an old craving to explore
In shackles of time and despair of days
Only the light, only the light, in your fate

Long March motivational songs

The largest part of Pakistan area wise & the most underdeveloped region, Balochistan is on the brink of disaster. Not too many people here in the country & abroad know about this. There are so many things happening here in Balochistan at a rapid pace. From military operations in the Baloch Districts to target killings & attacking on national installations, the province at large is tantamount to an Afghan city or region.

We will return, again and again
Arise, earned you have,
A place in history, a place in time
In songs, in words, in books
In scholar’s ink, in martyr’s blood!

Where will you stand?
I know where I will be
With you, my country, my home
With truth and with light
In words black and blood red!

It will hear my voice, as it pierces the sky
I WAS THERE, for change and for freedom
I WAS THERE, for you and myself
One day in distant future, you will understand!

The old Pushtu poet
Carried in his words,
The echoes of peace and music

Imran Khan should do this, PTI should do that, second tier leadership should come on media.... --- Visiting insaf.pk six months ago, these and many other similar posts clogged the forums, which left us thinking what should WE do to help.

It should be remembered that slave nations cannot form independent institutions...thus the fight for an independent judiciary is a fight for an independent Pakistan!

Regarding the health care policy, I can add valuable experience to this issue. I am specifically talking about rural BHUs and Tehsil Hospital dilemmas and failures.

The winter is almost over in the country and the rise of temperature has also transferred its warmth into the political scenario of the country. As the temperature is rising, the political environment is also getting blistered. But the boiling point of the political “amalgamation” will be attained in next 30 days, (commencing from today, 16^th February ’09). The Long-March, Possible disqualification of the Sharifs, Senate Elections and the appointment of new (defacto) Chief Justice of Pakistan are the “planned” issues, which are making the environment hot.

Insaf Research Wing(IRW) has been officially constituted. From what I have been told the matter was discussed at the cec meeting and there was a general consensus on the necessity of having such a wing.

Come, let us decide, based on our resources and abilities, what form of struggle we will embark on so that the poor, the workers and the youth can achieve the victory of seeing political change.

Pakistan has been oscillating between civilian and military rule since its inception in 1947. The Military has, by far, been the stronger party with 33 years of rule notched up versus 27 years of civilian government. Many problems associated with this oscillation have reached critical mass, hampering the state's sovereignty and stability as Pakistan faces numerous issues with no quick-fix resolution in sight. President Pervez Musharraf took power in Oct 1999 as a military dictator who finally removed his uniform in Nov 2007 after having re-established himself as the civilian President of Pakistan for a 5 year period, and having declared a state of Emergency - in fact a second coup.

To fly away on wings of wisdom
To travel into lands unknown
To heal, for peace
That is yours and mine

Two young guys from PTI Islamabad chapter took the responsibility of organizing the party from gross root level. These guys believed that they can do it. So they started holding membership camps by themselves at a very small scale in different places in Islamabad.

Ideological compulsions often hand-tie us and make us lose sight of the real goal - of achieving a just and egalitarian society for people. 

The MQM, Pakistan’s only fascist party is now in the federal government.  Despite the incessant “roar” by the activists and leadership of PPP about the sacrifices given in the different political struggles, the PPP has always betrayed rather cashed the blood of its activists & leadership. Let’s have a look on the different “triumphs” claimed by the PPP in the name of democracy and a so-called “anti establishment stance”.

Notwithstanding the mandate taken on the assassination of BB, The PPP Govt. is not interested in any probe of this heinous crime. The co-chairman of the party shouted several times, but people didn’t pay attention to his words, as words given by him are credible neither for them nor even for him.  No wonder, that the Nov. 2^nd 2007 Judiciary has not been restored by Mr. Asif Ali Zerdari, despite several promises made by him, the PPP “Jayalas” are in absolute shock that why an investigation for the assassination of their leader has not been started yet?? No body dared asking the so-called descendents of the Bhuttos that who had washed out the place of assassination…

The West has given many descriptions to its battles (they don’t like our freedoms, WMD, regime change, need for democracy etc.) and the muslims have tried to expose them as having a hidden agenda (security of Israel, control of oil, crusade, muslim bashing etc. The walls around Gaza may have to be raised to the heavens to prevent reactions and the new born Davids may have to be mercilessly killed for a secure future for Israel.  They forget Moses who survived and the history of their own holocausts.  In Pakistan and Afghanistan we have to have our own prescription.

A research wing for a political organization is essential to its success. Nevertheless, PTI’s lack of structural research convinced me that it is about time Insaf Research Wing (IRW) is created. After studying other research institutes of similar nature e.g. IRI, PPI & CFR, I have come up with this draft, outlining the structure of IRW.

THE NATURE OF INDIAN AND INTERNATIONAL COERCION OF PAKISTAN

PAKISTAN’S PRESENT AND FUTURE WAR

By Brigadier Samson Simon Sharaf (PTI Defence Analyst)

Before I elaborate on the existing education system, it is important to highlight the system we inherited from the British Raj in 1947. A classic example is NJV High School on Bunder Road, presently Mohammad Ali Jinnah Road. I joined the school in 1949, at that time this Sindh Government School was considered the elitist school where the cream of the crop of Sindh used to send their children for education from class 5 to 11.

My choice is road, because it’s shared by each & every person 24/7. A man interacts with other people from all walks of life once he’s on the road. And this is the time when he thinks & reacts to use this shared medium with rest of the people.

While attending the energy delta convention 2008 held in the Netherlands, I listened to the brightest minds from around the world share their vision on energy.

To achieve your own dreams it takes a lifetime but to achieve the dream of millions, it’s a feat only a few can perform in the history of mankind. And Jinnah was one of them. And to achieve that one has to rise above the fear and display courage. The ability and skills which he manifested in the process of creation of Pakistan and the fight he carried in all quarters, with reason and logic to bring the dream of a lifetime for millions of souls was unsurpassable. We will always remain in debt to this man and those millions of sacrifices.

The latest IRI survey has initiated a silent debate in academic circles. Since it has shown decrease in popularity of judicial movement as well as that of PTI, Imran Khan and Chaudhry Iftikhar.

I just wanted to bring into everyone's attention the address by the founder of this nation. I don't need to say anything, just read it and you will realize that it is even more relevent today. Unfortunately, the government and we as the citizens of Pakistan did not address any of the the problems highlighted by the father of this nation.

This small poem was written to describe the concept of status quo vs anti-status quo. It is dedicated to Imran Khan and PTI UK Team and to all who will bring a change in Pakistan and here in UK and from all quarters of this world, the ordinary Pakistanis through these tumultous times. These events will determine how strong we are and can we cope with challenges of our times and opposition brought forward.

Mr. Ansar Abbasi in an investigative news repored how "the Federal Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education (FBISE) Islamabad has illegally awarded extra marks and upgraded the examination results of the daughter of the country’s top judge."

Mr. President your actions following the joint session of parliament are speaking otherwise & you by yourself damaging the purpose for which you are advocating time & again.

The evil of terrorism is not the religion (be it Islam, Christianity, Hinduism, and so forth) but the politics.Politics when it completely ignores the basic principles of humanity, their needs and expectations. Politics when it fails to appreciate the problems and all the issues that surrounds nations be it Pakistan, India or anyone for that matter. The hidden beast which the Politics have carried within the policies of the West and its propagators to resolve the problems of the world by force rather than dialogue, through oppression rather than understanding; through acceptance rather than alienation; and through concepts appealing rather than advocating we are right and you are wrong. Pakistan has seen enough of this in its last sixty one years of existence and how all what has happened for all the wrong reasons brought a nation into turmoil..It is this he needs to understand v- the core issue and its impact and protest about it rather than being the mouthpiece for another ideology, for another half-baked solution and for another article to illustrate his ignorance and behavior which creates confusion and breeds hatred.

Those who claim the leadership of Pathan and Mohajir communities as well as the PPP have disowned that they have any hand in the Karachi Carnage.  In fact they state, that they have said this in a coalition meeting with Kalima to convince each other (they were suspicious of each other too).  Now the best thing they can do is to actively be on the streets and rush to all trouble spots and diffuse the situation.  If they do this now I am confident the tensions would ease within a day.

This poem is dedicated to Dr Aafia Siddiqi and all those innocent people product of betrayal by our own country.

For the past two days, as our local media shows the clips of Indian media openly blaming Pakistan for Mumbai attacks, I was wondering what was the motive behind. Do they want to incite anger among the local population? Do they want their population to close eyes towards the home grown extremism? Do they want to wage a war with Pakistan?

This article was written last year  to highlight the situation we are still faced with as a nation, all the issues that surrounds us like a disease.

The politics of this mutilated mind of oppression will never free us from the chains we have worn upon our souls for last sixty years. we must realise. we must wake up and we must differentiate what is good for us and isn’t. We must not follow the rhetoric and euphoria of change when it means nothing in the end. We must allow ourselves responsible for the future of Pakistan. Lets free ourselves from all this. Let’s bring revolution in our minds and thinking we have. Let’s change our attitude. If we fail to do so, we will become humans of the past and dinosaurs of the future!

As Waziris roam in mountains and its steppes,
With companions, the rivers gomal and tolchi
Hear them those blushing meadows in trance
As history whispers its lessons in Wazirwola

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) is becoming the torch bearer within the society. The amount of change and its impact is tremendous through efforts of PTI chairman and all the teams that have contributed to the success. But we need to do more. In order to reach to the perceptions of a common Pakistani, we need to ensure that we have all the mechanisms in place at all levels to promote this message of self-esteem, freedom and justice. We are to be seen to be carrying that message in all corners and quarters.

[Translation: When a Punjabi hag's husband brought home a second wife, instead of trying to find fault with herself or seeing her husband as the wrong-doer, she immediately began to curse the new wife:

"That witch must have cast a black spell on my husband," she reasoned.]

Asalamoalaikum and Hello,

Its been an awesome show by PTI. The smiling faces in the land of the depressed, says it all. Ahsan Rasheed, Mehmood ul Rashid, Omar Sarfraz and so many others. Sublime Team work!

There is a mountain of challenges facing our homeland today. From the long last dream of an "Islamic Laboratory" to the economic doldrums of the masses. The nascent country/nation of Pakistan was supposed to uphold the rights of all inhabitants in the conducive Islamic Environment and grant its citizens the best opportunities possible. It seems that we have failed to put our act together as a nation.

Thar coal reserves have 175 billion tonnes of coal, which is equivalent to 618 billion barrels of crude oil recently informed by VC of The university of the Punjab.

Let it be very boldly claimed by the PTI workers that when the judiciary was sending Sharif to the gallows or when Zardari was rotting in the jail; it was PTI that set forth with an agenda of justice. The masses failed to get a grasp of the idea that was too advanced for its time. What ensued was the plain annihilation of PTI in 96 polls.

An individual is literally "an individual". A whole system in itself. With enough energy and brain to change the fate of the whole world. But what lies in the individual that inhibits him from being that productive individual?

The wise men said that a picture is worth a thousand words. For the nth time, it was vindicated today. Khan, by the side of the chair, a ferrocious gait and the focus of a cross-eyed, studious child. It summed it all up. The chair found its new owner. Justly so, for all in the politics have set aside, atleast for now, their holy pledge to the motherland.

The nation is being lashed with the news of death and destruction in FATA on a daily basis. There is not a single heart which doesnot get the overwhelming call of mercy and compassion. On one hand, we are talking to the Indians, who have ensured that the past 60 years of our life were as hard as possible. And on the other side are these pure and thoroughly patriotic citizens of FATA, who have defended the western frontiers for 60 years.

In the Talmudic literature there is the following parable about Moses*: The whole world was shaken and enthralled by the miracle of the Exodus. The name of Moses was on everyone's lips. Tidings of the great miracle reached also the wise king of Arabistan. The king summoned to him his best painter and bade him go to Moses, to paint his portrait and bring it back to him. When the painter returned, the king gathered together all his sages, wise in physiognomy (the art of judging human character from facial features), and asked them to define by the portrait the character of Moses, his qualities, inclinations, habits, and the source of his miraculous power.

We Know that PTI is still in the process of Popularity due to lack of  funds, lack of  media coverage, Media coverage is one of the biggest reason cause for our leading team not to be known to every one.but even some time we have been asked by the media anchors that Imran khan is seems to be the one only in PTI Leadership. there is no Leading team. or if there is they are not well known or well articulate, but we PTI members Know very well we have a fresh and well educated Leading team. but the reason is actually Lack of Media coverage which effects our team's Popularity as compare to others.

Asalamoalaikum and Hello!

The british ruled the Indian-subcontinent for over one hundred and fifty years. Not a short period by any dimension of history! Muslims, being the overthrown rulers, were bound to face the gallows; which they did in the ensuing period. The british had mastered the polity of ruling nations, knowing well that control of the culture and ideology of a nation leads to an absolute grip over them.

I am on an organisational tour which has taken me to Lahore, Islamabad, Pehawar, Nowshera, Pabbi, Multan, Bahawalpur, Rahimyar Khan, Obaro, Sukker and am writing to you from Larkana (Dadu, Nawabshah and Hyderabad to go)

I have adressed Jalsas, Press conferences and Bars. Yesterday in Sukker Press Conf a  journalist asked a question which prompts me to write this long letter.

Ever since the new government has arrived, we have hardly heard a good news. Justice Iftikhar, who is a beacon of hope in terms of independence of judiciary, is yet to be reinstated. Lawyers movement, which got Iftikhar Chaudhry reinstated for the first time on 20th July, has been dormant for quite a while now (thanks to the bitter end of long march).

Our political struggle must for equal opportunities irrespective of gender, color, religion, ethnicity and social status for all, in all spheres of life. It is shameful to see inPakistan, the poor dying for lack of food, hunger, bad health, etc and the rich classes oblivious to what they see every day on their streets.  Capitalism has failed in achieving a true emancipation of people.  The promised crumbs never fall of the table.  The rich become super rich and the poor remain in their ghettos. Super powers while protecting their interests have brutalized poor nations and people and in the last 100 years more killings have been done than ever before, in the name of democracy, liberalism and free economy.  The shameless begging bowl reminds me of Ibne Insha who said:

جس جھولی میں سو چھید ہوئے

اُس جھولی کو پھیلانا کیا

Mr Khan reiterated on Express TV today on 17th October (host Javed Chaudhry) that all politicians should bring back their own wealth to Pakistan to inspire confidence in the business community, and others to do the same.  Why beg from others when our own money can go a long way?  Javed Hashmi (PMLN leader) who was also on the show endorsed the appeal saying that he would request Nawaz Sharif to do the same.

It is said that the government is thinking seriously about constructing a green zone in Islamabad. It will be very much a carbon copy of Iraqi capital Baghdad's green zone, where the masters & their sycophants will be protected. It is indeed a sad story, reported in a local news paper. A common man is bewildered as to why the government is going down wards with it's policies? Iraq is a copmletely different story; their is foreign occupation in Iraq, the people are against it & there for they attack foreign troops. For the safety of foreign masters the puppet Iraqi government had build up the green zone in the heart of capital Baghdad. But there is no foreign occupation in our sacred land; there are no foreign troops based in our capital; then why a green zone here in Islamabad? Is this for the foreign masters or is there something fishy fishy going on!
Such plans had failed completely in the past. There is absaloutely no logic in it. If the government keeps planning in this way then the masses will ask as to where they seek safety?

I was in Sweden in the last week of September and our PTI friends Mr Barkat and Dr Amir arranged meetings with Swedish parliamentarians.  Each one of them came down to receive us at the main gate, escorted us to the meeting room and came down to see us off.  Even the Deputy Prime Minister who was on crutches because she had taken a recent fall-injury, followed this courtesy.  Reminds me of Omar and his servant entering Jerusalem.

In recent foreign visits, Chairman Khan has stepped-up his calls for increasing foreign members paying 10 dollar/month for the party.The ideal target is to gather 5000 such members and once achieved it can generate a continuous flow of money to run our party offices being opened (and already open) in all
districts of Pakistan.The foreign coordinators and officials are working hard to implement this task. I want to stimulate a discussion on how to increase paying foreign members. Please answer the following specific questions:

I was talking with my brother in law the other day and we are discussing Pakistani politics. He is a software engineer and works at a software application firm.

He asked me the  if he wants to join politics, how will he manage it? "How will I support my family if I am a fulltime politician but not an elected member? How will I fund myself to gain political strength?How will I convince my parents, my family? How will I reach people? Basically, tell me how do I become a politician?"

As you have already noticed, website is under going some major changes. They are not completed yet, and some improvements will be made over the next few days. However I would like to mention how we want to move on from here.

What can Pakistan learn from the successful model adopted by Turkey?  What does modern day Turkey have to teach us?

Hai ahl-e-dil kay liyay ab yeh nazm-e-bast-o-kushaad,
Keh sang-o-khist muqayyad hain aur sag azaad.

-Faiz

I would like to have a serious debate on the role of Aitzaz Ahsan. Most of us supported him because of his role in getting the chief reinstated for the first time, and then as a Lawyers' leader. But after PPP came into power, few of his acts caused serious blows to lawyers movement. I dont know he did it deliberately or unintentionally. But consider the following acts and reply with your opinion.

The sum of our efforts on the field will be the catalysts for making PTI the party we all want it to become.

To ignite a real movement in Pakistan, all Imran Khan has to do is grab one issue of practical concern to the people and involve the entire party in it. One such idea is creating foodbanks at all PTI offices in the country where better off members can bring food to share with poorer people for free. All the Chairman has to do is issue the order:

I have often heard a number of political speakers describing the post 9^th March situation as one man’s adventure against an institution which he thought would cause problems for his future plans to stay in power. Even today a number of analysts refer to ‘Aiwan-e-Sadar’ while speaking of conspiracies against a democratically elected government. This is mainly because the Musharraf is seen as a ‘target in sight’ if we have to point at one person responsible for post-9^th March situation.

By eliminating the dominance of the Punjab, the rest of the provinces can feel stronger and safer and know that their voices cannot be drowned out by one component of the federation. 

Are we tolerant?

Over centralization of power prevents a nation from becoming one.

I would like to apologize to all those on this website who have ever been affected negatively by my views in the forum or the blog. I have realized how damaging any negative expressions can be, so I would also like to request all our Moderators and Admins to make sure the forum and comments are clean of any hurtful or negative expression. If you find any such expression then you should reply in a courteous way to guide the person, but if it is really offensive then ofcourse we should delete such posts.

Many, especially Imran Khan, have pointed out that the GDP does not tell you about the widening gap between rich and poor. However, we note that so far, the criticism of GDP as a skewed measure of progress has not dented its credibility. This is because we are blind followers of the capitalist West, where money and materialism are the raison d’etre of life. Let us thus identify what’s wrong with the GDP.

So, we have opted for a slight change in our bowling action. The bowlers and spectators however remain the same. MoveForJustice.org had become quite a brand name, and we will retain it to redirect to insaf.pk, but why did we change the name. I would like to briefly state the reasons before I bid adieu for the night:

Our problem is to ensure that CJP Iftikhar resumes his office wihout any conditions attached. At the same time we need to restore a level of trust and cooperation between the reinstated judiciary and new executive. The NRO is unacceptable as it gives an exclusive constitutional amnesty to certain political parties for  their alleged corruption. In order to restore Pakistan's judiciary with honour and without such humiliating conditions as the NRO, I recommend that a general concept of judicial pardon for those who commit acts of redemption be legislated. Those who commit an act of goodness such as restoring the judiciary without any conditions attached, thereby protecting Pakistan from billions of dollars of corruption in future, should be eligible to receive a judicial pardon for their past crimes - provided that such a pardon is given at the discretion of the judiciary and not a part of any legislation. Also, if any past corruption is proven, then the guilty individual that received a pardon will still have to reimburse Pakistan's coffers with the stolen amount but will not be subject to any personal punishment such as jail for crimes committed in the specific period that he received a pardon for. The pardoned individuals will remain accountable for any future acts of corruption.

The only thing that matters at the end, is your will.

After many years of one-man rule, suicide bombings, lawlesness, incompetence, scandals, butchery of media and judiciary, the elections 2008 have surprisingly breathed a new life into the soul of Pakistan. We are rid of Musharraf's assorted lotas. No doubt the same pre-99 faces have again come to the fore, but this time there is a criticial difference: Pakistan's media now operates much freely, and an independent judiciary will have to be restored.

Chairman Khan or Ahsan Rashid or Shabbir Sial will not directly gain something by fighting it out against the government for the restoration of the judges.

Shabbir Sial stated that success at this rally will be an everlasting symbol of defiance against the oppressive order that has wrecked the fabric of the nation apart.

Students should never be taken for granted or patronized. 

Let the Beloved touch,
thy heart O seeker!
As passion's arrow thou,
escape Self's quiver -

forgetting the bow,
and the string -
struck by Love,
thy self spring,

Why has PTI 'failed' to become an institution over the last twelve years? How come Shaukat Khanum became an institution so easily? Why did the party have only Rs. 22,000 in its bank account before the last major event? After some experience, I think I have finally diagnosed our party's ailment: the "ego".

Every man has an ego. The ego is your "Self", the "I" inside you. Egos are both an organization's best friend and its worst enemy. Tamed, they are like arabian horses that have carried many a muslim army across deserts against impossible odds. Untamed, egos are like wild horses trampling upon everyone around them and jumping over every boundary, hampering institutionalization.

Justice is not confined to one group, one religion or one sect.  It is a cause of all humanity.

Liaqat Jatoi's humiliation during his first election campaign. 

The only reason the rulers have not run away in droves is their faith in the lack of accountability.

Sensing beauty of the past,
and wisdom of days to come,
my heart took refuge in the pen,
over a feeble tongue.

Now listen to a beat,
of this open'd heart,
inspired by the One,
whose wonder overcomes.

Can we assume Musharaf has developed a conscious or the fear of Allah and would leave if he could guarantee his security? 

It is in moments like these that you need strong institutions to withstand the loss of leaders.  We don’t have any institutions and have lost the most popular leader.

Meet Rafique Khan! He is responsible for keeping Central Sectariat of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf. And he offer all his services, for nothing! Why? His love for Imran Khan has brought him here.

Few minutes with Imran Khan after APDM's convention.

The Islamabad chapter of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf has started an open discussion forum at Central Sectariat, Islamabad.

We had this suggestion put up on our forums to add a blog where activities of PTI from various areas can be shared with the website users. So here it is! We will be sharing all the happenings related to PTI on this blog. Stay tuned!
