Hina and Waqar Malik at Port Grand, Karachi.
“Twelve of us had gone to Ghaffar after the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) car rally for NA-250,” says Hina, a 25-year-old housewife. “The manager saw my husband’s kurta and was eager to know where we got it from. He kept asking about it so my husband gave him his number and said we would let him know where we got it from. When the bill came, we saw that we had been given a discount!”
When asked, Hina says the manager informed them the 10% discount had been given especially because her husband had been wearing the Imran Khan kurta.
“Even at the rally, everyone loved our kurtas,” she said, adding that she had also painted her nails according to the PTI flag colours. “I am voting for PTI because I want change! I am sick of tried and tested parties and I don’t care about the negative aspects about the PTI, I only care about the positives.”
MK Nation’s IK kurtas, priced at Rs4,000 each, were first seen on the runway at PFDC Sunsilk Fashion Week in Lahore end of April. Maheen Kardar of MK Nation, says, “The response has been tremendously overwhelming. Our productions have worked nonstop since fashion week ended and as we speak we are at 5,000 kurtas plus!”

Where can we buy these Kurta?
@PakJam: you need to read my full comment & understand the context.
Wear Zardari kurta and you will be charged 10% extra.
where can we get the kurtas from
Dude, do visit the same restaurant with same dress after May 11, you will be charged with 20% extra as penalty; also don't forget to take with a spare kurta!! Good Luck....
Change is eminent.
@musa.
exactly.. that is why I say that change has already come no matter PTI wins not not. Btw I am an MQM supporter.. so you know when I am saying this I am damn serious...
what a joke. Yes painting your nails and spending 4000 rupees on a kurta and "not caring" about the negatives of the party you are so whole heartedly championing is the way to make a rational decision.
That's a great business idea. Sadly, the extortionists may soon come knocking to collect their share.
Use your vote wisely.
Now I think MK must give her vote to IK.
Can't get any vain than this.
Back in 1996 i was mocked for supporting Imran Khan (official), i was laughed at whilst studying for the Bar, being mocked again for standing up for him being the only leader in Pakistan, following the footsteps of the greats gone by, now i sit back and relax and let others explain to me how Nawaz or Zardari might still win. Even if election proves that its too early in the night for dreams, one thing is for sure, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf today stands as the main challenger against the status quo, a win in itself.
@UMSyed: you use 'Burger Party' as derogatory term. Does your food preference make YOU any better? #Shame on your limited imagination :)
Well honestly it seems like the Lawn session has now taken place for guys !!
10% ............. brings back old memories.
Burger Party! But atleast they might be coming out to vote.
