Imran Khan’s PTI: New faction of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf
In what appeared to be the first blow to the Imran Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, a dissident member announced to partway with the captain’s party.
A member of the party’s central media committee, Aktar Iqbal Dar, announced the formation of new faction with the brand-name of PTI Nazriati (Ideological). It will be a major shock for Imran Khan, who has attracted many renowned politicians hitherto from different parties.
The dissenter PTI worker said that he along with many other veteran leaders was overlooked by Imran Khan that compelled him to take a hard line. “It was captain’s attitude that forced me to partway with him”, he stated.
Accompanied by Rana Usama, the head of Tehreek-e-Insaf (Awami), Dar addressed a news conference at Lahore Press Club on Wednesday. A handful of other party members were also present at the occasion who were reportedly unhappy with Imran Khan.
He not only announced new faction but also flayed severe criticism on PTI’s chief Imran Khan. In his view, the party, which was a symbol of change and hope, after the successful rally of Lahore, converted into a group of feudal lords, looters, turncoats, timeservers, Legharis and Makhdooms.
He further said that the masses could not be made fool any longer, claiming the party will completely fail in its tall claims in the next general elections. People have been awakened and were aware of the right and wrong, he added.
He also leveled severe allegations against the cricketer-turned politician, Imran Khan, saying he had become tool of western lobbies.
“How a person can bring change in the country whose children are living abroad”, he raised a question directly hitting the PTI’s chief. He complained that the newly joined people had been placed on important positions, pushing the ideological workers at the back benches.
Although it will not really affect the captain’s party, Imran Khan will have to take decisions about those who have been standing him from the very first day. He will have to move ahead democratically if he really wants to bring a change in Pakistan.

Some of the points of this new faction of PTI are correct but on one point I strongly criticize them: Imran Khan’s children issue. They were in UK even before their dissent with the PTI’s policies. Therefore, we should be careful in our criticism on anybody or any issue.
Whatta stupid way and cheap popularity. I wonder from whom they are getting support. Shame on them. PTI is IK’s ideology. why were they there in pti when they didnt believed in PTI :/
Imran is running his party like an Enterprise where the most deserving gets appointed on the key positions -sometimes he has to recruit internally and sometime he has to look for resource externally. Imran Khan and his party are much better off without having Incapable people like Aktar Iqbal Dar….
Its nothing more than a measure of attracting cheap popularity.One has to totally believe the leadership and render great sacrifices for the mission rather than putting personal interest before the party’s interest as is very obvious in case of these conventional sort of politicicians
PTI needs to trademark its name so no idiot can use PTI attach with some other stupid name by these stupid people.
Nobody gives a darn to what this loser has to say..
If IK was dead then this would have made sense. But if he is still alive then this load of bullshit. I smell a hidden hand of PML(N) in this. Divide and Rule. At the end, this nizriati group should have detailed discussion with Imran then they would know who is more nizriati.
PTI Chairman and his genuin team will respect chairman decision if they are really faithful and honest for the party and country its time to stand firm with the Chairman instead house war every member should keep the eyes on objective don’t create any sceen PTI is gross roots party and have hard long fight to win and battle is not easy ,Chairman and his companions going to Change the corrupt system for change PTI will welcome experiance politician who ‘s who deserve the position according to there qualification , and experience of course those respectable politician will be honor and reward , PTI founding members and worker should not be disoppointed and downhearted at this time every one consider revolutionary and workers , its call faithfulness and comrade and truly companion and friend and show patritoism , we should have no doubt on our leadership especially Imran khan . man of principle and symbol of patriotism , peoples who like to riase Question on Imran khan kids and personal life they are fallacious biased and unblest,unbred ,unblushing and selfish , we all must understand at this time party is growing , PTI leadership and members worker must welcome new members with open arm and big heart . PTI is only one party . Imran khan is the Chairman , ideology and visonary party.
this splinter group was suspended a year ago from pti. They were found guilty for breaking discipline. Anyways these people should not be taken seriously they will most probably be nonexistent within a week. The fact of the matter is people trust Imran khan not some akhtar iqbal dar or rana usama.
PTI’s (blind) followers are known for rash rejoinders and senseless abusive talks against anyone who differs with them. This is utterly deplorable. Have a heart to bear the difference of opinion. You will have bigger surprises in the days to come, even in election results. Rest assured…
PTI has not granted any ticket yet nor election team has been announced. This seems pre-mature and these folks have taken decision in haste. There are many ways they could serve the party with in the folds of party. Their individual move will bring them nothing but cheap popularity. Don’t get into the trap of status quo parties.
It is very clear that these people who choose to dissent and started commenting on Imran Khan’s personal life. He is after all divorced and according to English Law his wife can choose to have the children live with her where ever she wants to live.
This just shows the cheap mentality of those who choose to dissent and more probably they did so under financial inducements from the opposition by the cheapest politician in Pakistan, Nawaz sharif. Nawaz Sharif left his workers in a lurch when he legged it to better climes. He also has forgotten his many scams such as raising donations to save the country (Mulk Bachao, Qarza Utaro), the agricultural bank fraud and many others, He now owns through secret funds buildings in Mayfair london, which he obtained through the donations of the poor in Pakistan. If that was not enough, his proposition to Miss Kim Baker (dawat e Gunah) is shameful.
Extremely shameful. To elect this person again would be worst thing that Pakistanis can do. look at what he did for Javed Hashmi.
On the stomachs of the poor he has built his wealth. Shame on Nawaz and his ilk
