We are unhappy with the Pakistan Peoples Party, said former party activist, Maher Muhammad Brohi while speaking at a press conference on Thursday.
“This is why we are joining Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf.” He added the people of Lyari were suffering because of their elected representatives. Brohi and others activists of PPP’s district south announced that they had joined the PTI and were welcomed by the party’s Karachi president Ashraf Qureshi.
“They don’t have basic facilities like gas, even though they have had a major role in making Karachi,” he said while talking about problems faced by the residents of Lyari.
He added that he shared PTI chief Imran Khan’s vision and hoped that he won’t ignore Lyari when he came into power. According to Qureshi, a lot of people were joining the party because they shared Imran Khan’s vision. He criticised the recent wave of target killings and the price hikes.

@ Imran Muhammad, I agree critisizing Imran Khan "Unabashedly" wont do anything, but do remember praising him as a savior and and not taking any criticism, will do you, your party and country a great harm. We are seeing a repeat of history, we should learn from history, this IK phenomenon is very similar to the bhutto phenomena, (except the east Pakistan issue). According to me Bhutto was a complete failure as a prime minister and leader of the country. People were crazy about bhutto like people are crazy bout IK right now. i.e. criticism equals shirk. All the traditional politicians joined forces and surrounded him, disconnecting him from genuine people, and showing him a false reality. Bhuttos focus was on international politics while his good for nothing goons turned the most industrialized(maybe second to Japan) country of Asia into corrupt mafia controlled. His govt destroyed the bussiness community of country by Communism, taking over all bussines and education (destroying the education system of the country along with the economy). And he was shown a picture perfect Pakistan by Cahoneys who surrounded him. It felt realy heartning to see Imran Khan in Karachi Jalsa with the two lotas on his both sides, and the original workers of the party after them. You have to call a spade a spade, Imran Khan intentions might be good but he is making picture perfect same mistakes that bhutto did, and hoping for a different result. Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Albert Einstein
good step, just sick and tired of PMLN PPP MQM n JUI ANP and whatever rubbish they stand for, time to go status quo.........!
@grinz09 No sir,PTI is the party of the betrayed ppl,youth and political workers of Pakistan. PTI,Reviving Iqbals ideology and imran khan practicing Jinnah's Integrity,faith and honesty.
Thaks liyari welcome to pti
PTI has presented an alternate to pathetic status quo. I hope PTI will give platform to Pakistani nation to realize their potential. I see big youth population and potential but there are no government programs to utilize their strength.
@grinz09 same old point..blah blah..yatta yatta.. Wake up and smell the coffee( tea if in Pakistan). Criticizing PTI unabashedly will not solve any problem. PTI is a new force to reckon with.
@Pakistani: PTI, a party of ex Q league, PML N, PPP. A combination of..........?
Dear Syed, The best news is yet to come when people will throw out all PPP, MQM & ANP in favor of PTI.
being a MQM supporter, I have to say this is the best news to come out of Karachi in long time.
will that have any major effect on pp vote bank?
I am a PPP supporter to the core but I'm glad the Lyari people joined PTI so that its a wake up reminder to the PPP to not forget its roots and give basic facilities to people who have supported it through thick and thin.
Ppl of larkana may vote for pti but I am hundred percent sure that lyari ppl will never betray ppp. Even now they say that their vote is for Ppp
Its great news.. As PTI is striking more into sindh.. Great work.
Clean Sweep - Inshallah :D
