Imran Khan accuses political parties for using media to slander PTI

Imran Khan, the Chairman Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI), while talking to the media personnel today, said that other political parties had hired media services to malign his party.

Khan, while speaking at the residence of Nawabzada Nasrullah Khan-who had recently joined the PTI in Mardan, said that the media was being bribed to further propaganda against the PTI.

Replying to a question by a reporter, Khan said that he can name a number of people who were continuously launching negative propaganda against the PTI.

PTI Vice Chairman Shah Mehmood Qureshi further explained what Khan meant, adding that the “state-run television and radio along with the government machinery was being used against the PTI.”

The alleged media slandering by the political parties could be a frustrated response of the political parties whose members and swarming for cross over to PTI. Not even a single day passes when some of the stalwarts of
PPP or PML (N/Q) don’t join Tehreek-e-Insaaf which has rightly become the most popular political party in the country.

The reason behind such huge popularity for Khan’s Party, besides Imran’s own clean and corruption free life and the history of his social work for Pakistan, is the party’s stand against corruption and mal-governance.

Despite the tall claims by the PML (N), everyone knows that it is a bunch of dons who can go to any extent for save guarding their position in the political arena. Masses hold a similar view about the PPP which is neck
deep into corruption allegations.

Recently former Pakistan Muslim League-Functional (PML-F) leader, Shabbir Jokhio, along with supporters from Memon Goth in Gadap Town, has crossed over to the PTI. The move came after several meetings with the PTI’s leadership
in Sindh.

Air Marshal (Retd) Asghar Khan, who was heading the little-known Pakistan Tehrik-e-Istaqlal, also joined the PTI at a joint news conference with the PTI Chairman.

Separately, at another news conference Khan was planning to welcome Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Irrigation Minister Pervez Khattak to his party but some of his old workers from Nowshera clashed and opposed the decision and accused Khattak
of corruption.
