[Gohar Fatima]

Punjab News (http://***********.com/news/punjab/16): MULTAN, Veteran politician Javed Hashmi on Tuesday said that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf chairman Imran Khan is not capable of contesting elections. Hashmi’s remarks comes just days after PTI lost crucial election in NA-120 in Lahore where Pakistan Muslim League – Nawaz (PML-N) regained their seat after the ouster of Nawaz Sharif. “I do not want to weaken him. He should be growing stronger,” he said speaking to mediapersons at the Multan Press Club. “Instead he is making mistakes and creating differences within the party.” Hashmi said that Imran Khan is not capable of running elections today, and that the popularity of the PTI is gradually declining. He said he told the PTI chief three years ago that such campaigns would tire his supports and weaken the party to no avail, resulting in empty chairs during campaigns now. He further said the biggest conspiracies today are against the PML-N. He said that if Kulsoom Nawaz is elected as prime minister, then this means that there is no more confidence in Shahid Khaqan Abbasi. Hashmi said the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) and the Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) were nearing their political demise. However, he said that he did not wish to see this happen and both parties should continue to survive. Punjab News (http://***********.com/news/punjab/16)

Some truth in the notion that IK is loosing his grip on other issues, the IK I remember is the one who voice his concerns on the issues in direct contact with the local people who needed their voices to be heard, now the whole focus is on the PML(N) group. Stay on that issue, no matter what, but don't loose yourself or your party resources on a single cause when there are tons of other problems directly facing at this nation.
