A survey conducted by the US-based International Republican Institute (IRI) shows that right now the newly-founded Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), led by ex-cricketer Imran Khan, is the nationwide front-runner, with 31% of the vote.

The two mainstream parties, the opposition Pakistan




Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) holds second place with 27%, while the ruling Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) has a dismal share of only 16%. In the province of Punjab, PTI was second in terms of popularity, as it bagged 33% of the votes. The PML-N popularity was still number one in the largest province at 41%, while the PPP’s popularity stood at 9%.
In Sindh, the PPP led with 42% votes in polls, PTI secured second position with 15%. The regional Mohajir Quami Movement’s support stood at 9 percent while the PML-N stood at a mere 6%.
In Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Imran Khan’s party performed impressively with 49% votes, leaving the local Awami National Party in a distant second position with 13% of votes and the PPP at 9%.
Imran Khan was also on top in Balochistan, with 35% of the vote. The PML-N grabbed second position with 9%. The IRI survey has not been officially released. It was held between February and March this year.

This is like the past survey in which the KPK govt had been declared to be the most corrupt thanks the non-Pashtun surveyors to whom the American buffoons had subcontracted the pinion poll who conducted the interviews only in the non-Pashtun regions like Hazara, DI Khan, etc. due their historical Indic prejudice against Pashtun nationalism. Due to the renaming issue of KPK, the anti-Pashtun and anti-ANP sentiments were high in these regions at the time of the survey---so the negative opinion about the ANP govt.

Nevertheless, so far all the bye elections held in KPK have been won by ANP including the most recent one from from Mardan. Similarly, the PPP has defeated Muslim League in the latest by-election in Multan not to mention PPPs land-slide victory in AK elections last year defeating other parties.

Imran Khan is like a political orphan now that his mentor ex-chief of ISI General Shuja Pasha has retired, who pampered him. His Tsunami has faded. In KPK, he cannot even win a single seat what to talk of that popularity. His party is in disarray and there are internal fissures in it over who would be provincial head Masud Sharif or Khwaja Hoti. Meanwhile many of the old PTI leaders in KPK have joined other parties including ANP.

I was talking to Punjabi friends and they told me, in Punjab Imran can win only a few seats e.g., that of Asif Ahmad Ali, Khurshid Qasuri, Javedc Hashmi, etc.

Its a valid poll that was conducted by an organization based out of the US. Polls in the US do not play politics.

Do you mind listing me the issues with Imran Khan? What is objectionable?

[faye]

did you read this part?---'polls in the us do not play politics'.

[Shah-i-Kot]

BTW, Im sure you have read this article by FZ Khan of the PakistanObserver.

He says that the US should give daisy cutters to Pakistan and that Pakistan should use these daisy cutters on FATA to get rid of "terrorism."

Do you know what he is meaning when he says he wants the Pakistan military to use daisy cutters on FATA?

Do you agree with what this Pakistani man is saying?

How many more soldiers would you need to be hand-tied by the military-order from its high command only to be left at the mercy of barbarian ‘Taliban’ to be killed and beheaded? The Salala check-post was attacked and it took hours to establish GHQ-NATO commanders’ contact in order to establish whether the bombardment that killed 24 Pakistani soldiers was by mistake or by design, but the result was obvious deaths to which no remorse has been shown till now.

The increase in Taliban attacks on troops and no-quick action to counter them is not only increasing disappointment among the soldiers but also questioning their capacity to confront the enemy. The game plan was known to all when the US officials, Pentagon and NATO commanders were calling for a sweeping operation in the North Waziristan. The reply was candid and logical that (a) the Haqqani network was not operating from Pakistan, and (b) the stretching out of military in the vast and complex area of the two Waziristan agencies might prove counterproductive. But the question is if the military operation was not going to be conducted, then what was the alternate plan with Islamabad and Rawalpindi to counter hostile moves by the ‘Taliban’ backed by the well-known enemy countries?

They have to be eliminated once and for all. Why the Pakistan parliament is silent now? Why the government ministers and officials are mum over the brutal killings of soldiers? Why no TV or newspaper has taken it as a campaign to aware the masses of the threat over our heads? Why not stop the political see-saws and sit together to jointly put a hand behind our military to fight, and fight not with ordinary weaponry, but using the Tora-Bora like force. If Americans are sincere with us, they must not hesitate to give us the daisy-cutters and mother of all bombs, drones and surveillance gadgets. If they refuse, then the world must know that our biggest enemy happens to be our biggest friend and even the worthy Machiavelli does not approve of the backstabbing by a mighty.

Like this opinion poll, the past polls had also been conducted by an American think tank. But Americans are buffoons of the first degree. When Americans conduct such studies, they sub-contract the work to locals mostly Karachite and Punjabis. Paki establishment particularly the ISI heavily manipulates the results.

[faye]

i'm hoping that imran khan is a good guy but polls are rubbish. don't take notice of them as one doesn't know who is behind them.
in australia, they give the results of these silly things about politics, on a weekly basis. in the end the party that had the highest support in the polls came last in the election, that i took note of. made me laugh.

faye, Imran Khan is not a good guy either. He is a hypocrite of the highest degree with a secret life. There is a politician with the name Marvi Memon, who at one point, (when General Shuja Pasha of ISI was nurturing Imran & his PTI) was close to Imran Khan and had expressed her intentions to join PTI (Imran's party). In the end she joined Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz ) rather.

It is said while being close to Imran, she came to know of many secrets of the secret life of Imran Khan including his relations with different women. There are strong suspicions/rumours that when she joined Muslim League, she gave those secrets to Nawaz Sharif. Thus Imran now a days doesn't say any thing negative about Nawaz and has turned all his guns towards Zardari.

[Shah-i-Kot]

Toramana,

Lets forget the polls (there are many polls by the way conducted by various organizations all showing pretty much the same results). You can hold onto your belief.

Do you mind giving your objections to Imran Khan?

What are the issues or his stated policies you are having problems with?

Ruling mafia taking last breath: Imran

By: Syed Danish Hussain | May 14, 2012 |





ISLAMABAD - Predicting the departure of corrupt political mafia from the country’s political horizon soon, Chairman Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Imran Khan has said that his party after coming to power will ensure the women empowerment socially and economically on priority basis.
He was addressing PTI Women Convention organised by party’s Women Wing here on Sunday. Hundreds of women from across the country participated the gathering.
Imran said corrupt rulers have joined hands against independent judiciary and his party, as they are afraid of justice that would be ensured during PTI regime.
Criticising the opposition - PML-N - Imran said they would neither resign from the Parliament nor quit provincial government, as they wanted to influence, by remaining in the power, the caretaker set-up and Election Commission before next general elections in the country. “I am here to assure you that ruling mafia is taking its last breath. Their days are counted and soon PTI tsunami would sweep them away,” he added.
Imran said billion of dollars piled up by corrupt politicians in foreign accounts would be brought back to country. “Pakistan enjoys abundance of resources and the day is about to come when everyone would respect Pakistani passport and foreigners would come here in search of employment.”
He said women in Pakistan are kept deprived of inherited property but PTI would do landmark legislation to ensure the women rights in the country. He said women belonging to lower strata of the society would be provided legal assistance so that they could follow their cases in courts without any fear or financial constraints.
Khan said currently there was dual justice system in the country that provides imprisonment for the poor but Presidency and Prime Minister House for power full. “Today, the biggest corrupt of the country was sitting in Presidency,” Imran observed.
The rally was made a success with valuable contribution of the party’s local leadership particularly Dr. Waseem Shahzad who held a series of meetings with citizens of the federal capital and convinced them to fully participate in the rally.
Imran said his party would announce education emergency in the country, especially for women for better future generations. He said PML-N rallies lack enthusiasm that is evident in today gathering of PTI. He said presence of women in such a big number shows that Pakistani women have changed their mind and now they are part of change, which is inevitable.
On the occasion, Imran Khan paid rich tributes to his mother, Shaukat Khanum, saying there is no replacement of mother’s role in society. “My mother taught me how to love Pakistan and its people.”
He said by airing national anthems in political gatherings PTI celebrates the revolution that is in the offing and a system of injustice that is about to end
President PTI Women Wing Fauzia Qasuri and PTI Punjab President Saloni Bokhari also spoke on the occasion.Online adds: Imran has said that the PTI, after coming into power, will protect women rights. Imran said his party after coming into power would ensure women’s due share in property. He also promised to bring all the looted money back to Pakistan.
He said that current setup will have to go as they the hereditary political parties cannot withstand the PTI “tsunami” anymore. Imran also paid tributes to the country’s mothers on the Mother’s Day.

[faye]

it's never ending. the politicians in australia are having this gossip, corruption and dishonesty issue at the moment. such a waste of resource and time.
this is a new accusation against imran. the last one was that he was being supported by the isi or something.

[Khostai]

i'm hoping that imran khan is a good guy but polls are rubbish. don't take notice of them as one doesn't know who is behind them.
