PTI rife with violation of merit, claims former party activist. PHOTO: FILE
Addressing a press conference at the Peshawar Press Club, Zain said that the cricketer-turned philanthropist politician led a movement for justice that had turned into a "movement for injustice".
The former PTI activist alleged that the PTI was rife with violation of merit, along with personal likes and dislikes in matters including the intra-party polls and distribution of tickets for the upcoming general elections. She said that despite bringing the situation to the PTI chairman’s attention, no action was taken, which left her with no other option but to quit the party.
Those present on the occasion included central secretary information PML-N Youth Wing Ali Yusufzai, provincial chief organizer PML-N Youth Women Wing Sobia Khan and others.
Sobia Khan welcomed Zain and other women into the PML-N fold and assured them of due respect and honour in the party.

We stupid pakistani
Doesn't make sense, if she valued merit so much then why she joined PMLN? She is an opportunist for sure
Women of KP have shown courage and enlightenment. Hope, men will also follow them.
With this much bias reporting against PTI I hope ET people won't weep if PTI comes into power and pull off some strings!
Good job PTI. It's called filtering status quo from the party. PTI will still win the elections in Peshawar
My Vote is for PTI! Vote for Change!
If you take people like Azam swati, pervzaiz khattak, shah mehmood quraishi and aleem khan then you should not tag yourself with "change" or "unconventional politics". Extraordinary results can't be produced with ordinary efforts
ET get a life .
why is it that when a person is in PTI,he is termed saint by pti fans but whenever he joins PMLN,these mummy daddy burgers of PTI call him corrupt,lota n evrything..i havent seen bigger hypocrites then these guys..:)
seems like ET is after PTI. Other parties are having major chaos because of the ticket distribution and not much of it is covered here.
In political parties game rules are the same however name may be different.
Can anyone ask PTI's leadership, "if tickets are not going to be distributed on the basis of intra party elections then what is the use of these elections ". Why PTI wasted time in useless party elections?
Vote PTI. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151531717437630&set=a.10151497177727630.1073741825.503677629&type=1&theater
@Ahs Mlk
Actually, no one understands what PTI is fighting against. I am sure nobody knows it in PTI as well.
LOL, another PTI defector. Vote MQM !!!!
This shows that PTI's strict merit-based policy is not acceptable to status quo loving people. PTI has increased its stature among people as it has emerged as the only political party that is against status system.
Lotas lotas everywhere.
They opposed PMNL for 16 years and then go there in a blink.. wow!
PTI awarded women ticket on the basis of merit. seniors deserved it. And if everyone district president starts to claim ticket then the NA would be overflowed.
Anyways, The number of people who left PML-N over ticket issue is much much more than PTI. But i don't know why some ppl are silent.
There may be inconsistencies in PTI, however, going to PML-N in search of fairness is mind boggling!!!
I really think this time PMLN will form the government in the center and in my view PTI could get a chance afterwards as in coming elections PTI chances are pretty slim everywhere. Anyway I am going to vote this time as "None of the Above " option introduced by ECP recently.
If they went and joined the old parties which are protectors of the status Quo, then they never understood what PTI was fighting against in the first place...
yawn we will still vote for PTI
Good job ET. now make sure you don't post any such news regarding PML-N.
ET, kindly leave us. Let's turn our cameras towards PMLN and PPP too.
Complaining about merit and joining PMLN. Is that a joke?
