Terrorism: Imran calls for meeting of Nawaz, Kayani and PTI
[Pak Daily Times] Pakistain Tehrik-e-Insaf...a political party in Pakistan. PTI was founded by former Pakistani cricket captain and philanthropist Imran Khan. The party's slogan is Justice, Humanity and Self Esteem, each of which is open to widely divergent interpretations.... (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan  ... aka Taliban Khan, who ain't the brightest knife in the national drawer... has called for formulation of a policy by the prime minister in consultation with the army chief and PTI to deal with terrorism in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa ... formerly NWFP, still Terrorism Central... . Addressing a convention of the party on Sunday, Imran Khan said there are different forms of terrorism in FATA, Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, Bloody Karachi ...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous... and Balochistan  ...the Pak province bordering Kandahar and Uruzgun provinces in Afghanistan and Sistan Baluchistan in Iran. Its native Baloch propulation is being displaced by Pashtuns and Punjabis and they aren't happy about it... , which will have to be dealt with through different means. He said he has written a letter to the prime minister for the formulation of a national policy in consultation with political and military leadership to deal with terrorism. He said terrorism could not be overcome in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa unless the prime minister, the chief of army staff and the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa government sit together and arrive at a consensus formula. They will have to hold dialogue with Taliban at political level, he added. On a different note, Imran said intra-party elections of the PTI were a major success. He said they would learn lessons from the mistakes of the 2013 general elections and assured the party workers that the future lies with the PTI. While noting that the party had no polling agents at many polling stations, he said three commissions are working to identify the past shortcomings. Imran said Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa would be made a role model for other provinces in development. He said under PTI the province would become electricity surplus, which would be exported to other provinces. The PTI leader said various projects of power generation would be announced in the coming weeks. Posted by: Fred 2013-07-01 |
