Imran Khan suspends Justice (r) Wajihuddin's PTI membership
207
KARACHI: Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan on Wednesday suspended the basic party membership of retired Justice Wajihuddin Ahmad, according to a statement issued by Shireen Mazari, who is the spokesperson for the PTI chief.
The statement said that the suspension came on the heels of Mr Khan’s Aug 4 notification stating that anyone discussing party matters publicly would be suspended from party membership.

The statement said that Mr Ahmad had defied Mr Khan’s notification and declared that he would continue to air internal party matters in public.
It also elaborated that Mr Khan had held a three-hour long meeting with Justice (r) Wajihuddin last weekend, making it clear that “no democratic political party allows its members to discuss internal party matters in the public domain” and that grievances should be aired internally in party forums.

The two-member tribunal headed by Mr Ahmad had been formed by the party in 2013 to investigate allegations of irregularities in the intra-party elections. After its detailed judgement, issued on March 18, Mr Khan had dissolved the tribunal, and issued a notification of its dissolution, which stated that the tribunal stood dissolved with effect from March 22.
The tribunal had earlier passed several orders on various petitions and termed the intra-party polls seriously flawed, reducing the terms of office of those elected from four years to two years.
Subsequently, after it had been officially dissolved, the tribunal summoned Mr Khan to appear before it on April 21 to explain why he had not complied with its earlier orders.
The retired justice had expressed his reservations, especially with regards to the non-implementation of his tribunal's decisions during a previous meeting.
PTI’s official statement said that in light of the Aug 4 notification, Mr Khan had been left with no choice but to suspend Mr Ahmad’s membership.
It emphasised that there should be no confusion about the fact that according to the party constitution “it is the Chairman who is authorised to make the final decision on what is in the best interest and advancement of the Party.”

In my view as a nation we should stop looking for messianic figures and instead focus on small steps towards good governance and institution building. This ultimately will hold the elite and powerful in check and build our democracy. No more demagogues please!

The criteria must be honesty, wisdom, courage and popularity of the candidate in his constituency. In democracy, loyalty to the party is undemocratic concept.

Why Imran Khan at first appointed Waji Sahib as member of tribunal if he did not have the courage to accept his judgement which is based on justice.

The interrupters have been interrupting every beneficial act and live up to the proud (assumed/google search-based) 'origin' of their name.

@Sara : If I have a in house problem then I would resolve it in-house. I will not clean my dirty laundry in public. Pakistanis in general have a big problem. They would not hesitate talking dirty about their own country in front of any non-Pakistanis. Whilst other nationals will not discuss their dirty home issues in front of us here in the US. Would you discuss your in house problems in public or would like to resolve the issues in your own home?

He's done right thing, what Hashmi has achieved since being dumped by PTI. IK should remain firm to discipline of the party, and avoid those who think can hijack it. Mr Wajih should take rest, either he's being plotted by the PML-N (they ruined IK's first election by bringing up Seeta White issue) or else Mr. W. is carried away for his stubborness. He should realize it is not a court and he is not sitting on the bench that he would do whatever he liked, it is a party and he must have taken oath to restrict to the party discipline

@Arslan please tell us why the Labour Party expelled George Galloway. He, amongst other things, threatened to stand against the Labour Party at election on a different political platform, was openly campaigning for candidates who did not belong to Labour, he openly asked British troops to defy orders from the British and Labour PM.
This happened whilst Galloway himself was a member of Labour.
Yes, people are expelled from UK parties, but never for internal policy matters - only for serious breaches at the national level.
Please don't confuse apples with oranges do relate that to PTI, IK and the justice Wajihuddin.
As much as the Labour Party wanted to expel Ch Sarwar, they couldn't, even when he was embroiled in fraud enquiries.

Only time will tell who is right and who is wrong. IK made some tough decisions as the Captain of the PAkistan cricktet team after the first time we lost the world cup. Not everyone agreed and infact a lot of people criticized him for his decisions. But the results spoke louder than words. Lets not be fooled by what seems to be the case. Everyone in politics is there to further their own agenda. Justice Wajih is not a saint nor is he above it all. He also has an agenda within PTI. but the fact still remains. You cannot hold the entire party hostage to further your own agenda. Which is what my wajih is doing. IK met with him to try and resolve his grievances and make sure that he is happy. But he still wants to use media to hold the party hostage. I think this is the correct decision on IK's part. as a leader sometimes you have to show tough love.

Justice Waji left with no choice but to talk in the media.
This is same case as IK try his best to investigate 4 constituencies lawfully but no one listen to him and ultimately he went for Dharna.
