ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Vice President Dr Shireen Mazari on Monday admitted that differences were emerging between top leaders of the party and said that there was a “debate and dissension” within Party meetings through which a consensus would be evolved.
“Given the highly democratic nature of the PTI, there was a debate and dissension within party meetings through which a consensus would be evolved.
“All the new people who have joined the PTI have accepted the party’s ideology. PTI respects all its members equally and no one is vilified or insulted,” said Mazari while addressing a press conference here at PTI central secretariat flanked by Azhar Tariq, Secretary Finance of the PTI.
Responding to a question about saying a big no to joining the PTI by PML-Q leaders Marvi Memon and Amir Muqam, Shireen Mazari made it clear that both politicians had been rejected by the party itself.
Asked if her claim was correct, as to why Imran Khan had signed an appointment letter for Marvi Memon as the party’s secretary information, Mazari admitted that Mr Khan had indeed signed the letter of Marvi Memon’s appointment but claimed that the Party did not ratify the Chairman’s decision.
“We have a strong democratic tradition in the party and the Chairman respected the party’s decision, this is how democracy works,” she asserted.
Se also contradicted the notion of a downslide wave in her party’s popularity amongst masses and claimed that the PTI Tsunami was deliberately being controlled so as to allow the Party to absorb large groups of people who wanted to join.
She claimed that PTI’s Tsunami was heading towards southern Punjab and that many heavyweights would join in the next few days.
