Is PTI turning into a fascist party? -- Yasser Latif Hamdani
 [Pak Daily Times] When I voted for the PTI on May 11, 2013, I did so for very good reasons and none of them had anything to do with drones. That Imran Khan... aka Taliban Khan, who isn't your heaviest-duty thinker, maybe not even among the top five... , the tallest figure in Pak politics, was contesting from NA 122 -- my constituency -- was just icing on the cake. I felt that the PTI had not only managed to bring the apoliticised urban middle class into the democratic process but had also managed to wean a significant portion of the right wing vote from traditional right wing parties. The hope underlying my decision was that the PTI would become a party of the centre right and, with time, would absorb other right wing parties and lead Pakistain towards a genuine two party system. The results, however, returned PTI as the second largest party of the right. Having been placed in the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Posted by: Fred 2013-12-02 |
