ISLAMABAD: In what appears to be a major breakthrough, Majlis Wahdat-e-Muslimeen Pakistan (MWM) announced unconditional support to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) for the forthcoming local government elections in the federal capital to inflict crushing defeat on the self-centered, greedy and crooks rulers who plunged the country into worst crises within short span of few months.
The announcement in a press conference in joint press conference of PTI Islamabad Region President Ali Nawaz Awan and MWM political Secretary Engineer Zaheer Naqvi here on Tuesday.
Speaking on the occasion, Ali Awan said that the MWM chief Raja Abbas Nasir stood by PTI during the last 8 months for which they were grateful to MWM.
He said that PTI was striving hard to make Pakistan truly a welfare state like state of Medina, but unfortunately, the formula of ‘divide and rule’ sowed the seed of sectarianism and linguistic division in the country.
Ali Awan stated that the PTI was contesting the LG polls like general elections, which was expected within next two to three months, adding that God willing PTI would easily grab the mayor slot in Islamabad. PTI leader said that the people of Islamabad will also vote to PTI on December 31 to inflict humiliating defeat on the 13 parties’ alliance, as they did in the by-polls elsewhere in the country, as PTI won 85% of the by-elections in the last eight months, adding that Imran Khan made a world record by winning eight by-elections.
He said that once PTI was taunted as ‘Tanga Party’ but today Imran Khan reduced the 13-party PDM group to a ‘Tanga party’. He said that during the last 8 months, the imported government subjected the PTI to all kinds of state repression, ruined economy and imposed curbs on media, besides skyrocketing inflation.
Ali Awan went on to say that PTI always took decisions for the future of the homeland instead of short term political gains, as it was evident from the unprecedented move in the history of Pakistan that over 125 members of the assembly submitted their resignations collectively which were not accepted so far.
However, he said that PTI MNAs would go to National Assembly for the approval of their resignations on the day of dissolution of the provincial assemblies of Punjab and Khyber-Pakhtukhwa. He said that it was not possible to hold a by-election on 567 seats, so there will be a general election and even if a by-election was held, we will win with a two-thirds majority.
On the occasion, Engineer Zaheer Naqvi said that MWM supported PTI’s ideology of Medina state. He said that true public representation was need of the hour to get the country out of the prevailing instability, adding that MWM was unconditionally supporting PTI in Islamabad LG polls. He said that it was good for the future of Pakistan that both parties sat together.
