ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan on Thursday lambasted National Assembly Speaker Ayaz Sadiq for 'victimising' him and alleged that Sadiq is no longer an impartial speaker.
Members of the PTI staged a walkout from the House after Imran's remarks in the NA. The PTI chief criticised the Speaker's ruling on disqualification references against Khan.
Sadiq earlier forwarded a reference to the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) seeking Khan's disqualification from the legislature, whereas he rejected all four references seeking the disqualification of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and other members of his family.

Khan accused the speaker of 'partiality' and went on to say that all of his assets had been disclosed at two separate press conferences.
"It was said that Imran Khan owned a company Niazi Services which was not disclosed. It was also alleged that Khan purchased a flat in London with the amount he collected for cancer hospital trust."
The PTI chief rejected the notion that he had attempted to conceal any of his property, including Niazi Services.
The PTI chief lashed out at the prime minister's family for allegedly concealing their assets, saying that Nawaz insisted on continuing his term "despite being caught red-handed".
He added that Speaker Ayaz Sadiq's behaviour not only dented the credibility of his position, but also the sanctity of the House.
Speaking to journalists outside the NA, Khan said, "I referred to him as Ayaz Sadiq, not as the Speaker. In my opinion, he is not a speaker. A speaker is supposed to be unbiased."
"Whatever he's done, he has done under pressure from Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif," Imran Khan alleged.
"Nawaz believes if someone can be bought, buy them. If they cannot be bought, then they must be suppressed," he alleged.
Before attending the day's session, Khan told journalists that a date for a planned protest march towards Raiwind had not been finalised and that details would be settled after consultations with other opposition parties.

A speaker should be unbiased - as the ones in UK are. However, we are talking about Pakistan here. If PTI was in power, would their speaker be unbiased. I highly doubt that?
On one hand, IK takes in all and sundry corrupt people from other parties into PTI - and on the other hand he claims the other parties are corrupt.

@Just wondering
Are you saying Asad Qaiser in KPK assembly is unbiased? Agha Siraj in Sindh? Rana Iqbal in Punjab? Or Rahila Durrani in Balochistan.
Speakers represent the ruling party in Pakistan. And as such they are biased.
In the UK, you had Betty Boothroyd - a Labour member, who was elected Speaker when the Conservatives had an overall majority.
Previously, you had George Thomas, another Labour Speaker under a Conservative majority government.
The current UK Speaker, John Bercow (a Conservative) was elected in 2009. At that time, Labour had 354 out 646 seats, whilst the Conservatives only had 196.
Let the PTI members in KPK elect a non-PTI Speaker first - and then we can talk about the NA speaker being unbiased.
Your question about raising political awareness is irrelevant here. We are talking about impartiality of the Speaker. Not about IK educating people about politics.

@khanm The limitation of the democracy is that it need headcounts/majority and the momentum required to rule is so huge that this is not possible in the current situation.
BTW: Imran himself is never democratic hence the party is falling apart piece by piece and this is unfortunate for the PTI followers... If PTI has to stand up and spread the message, two suggestions (1) Minus Imran (2) Do some work and improve the province which is under full control of PTI instead of just blaming and pointing others mistake.
Minus IK is the only way to go further otherwise, mark the words, PTI will lose even the pint of ground it has acquired.

Changes made in KPK whilst PTI are in charge are irrelevant.
The speaker in KPK is a PTI member - and so represents the ruling party. The same applies to speakers in other regions - they are all from the ruling parties.
The point IK is making is that the NA Speaker is biased - and my point is that the way Pakistan works, all Pakistani speakers (national and provincial) are biased.
Cameron resigning is also not the point here - we are talking about the impartiality of the Speaker. Not the integrity of the PM and parliamentarians at large (which is a totally different debate - and one where I agree with you 100%).
The UK system is relevant in this context - as 1) Pakistan 'follows' the bi-cameral Westminster model and 2) UK has demonstrated that you don't need to have a Speaker from the ruling party - something which IK might want to introduce to KPK as an example of good governance.
Sadly, you can't have your cake and eat it too - as IK seems to imply here.

I am not bitter at all sir.
In fact I couldn't care less. And I have made that point clear on Dawn forums 100's of times, that as far as I am concerned all Pakistani parties are corrupt (albeit some to a greater/lesser extent than others)
My point is that whilst IK takes up the moral high ground, and I genuinely believe that he is sincere and means well; his executive team, cronies and hangers-on are just as bad as the other parties.
So before one starts accusing other parties, why not clean up one's own house first.

Imran Khan has the guts and courage to stand up to a corrupt system. Only an honest man with integrity can do this.

Can someone please explain to me how all this helps the people of Pakistan, ultimately, these parties and politicians are elected to serve the people, they are getting paid to work for the people, but instead, for one reason or another, they are always fighting, fighting over who is more corrupt, staging walk outs, planning protests and marches. You know, since the early 90's, all we ever hear about is governments incompetence, corruption cases after cases against leaders, we are talking top leaders like the PM's and Presidents of our Pakistan, this is not good, not for the country and not for the people. At some point, the people need to sit down and wonder, if it keeps coming up, is it true? Its a good thing media house like DAWN continues to bring out the truth, the hidden news others don't share. This tu tu ma ma needs to stop, the focus should be the people and the country, but in Pakistan, its not.

If the speaker wasn't biased and had the courage to face the facts he would be leading the proceedings of the house today but unfortunately he didn't which raises multiple questions.

Speaker is more suited for a provincial level institutional head. He has miserably failed in delivering as a speaker.

Those here lambasting IK, what have the administrations of Sharifs and Zardaris given you except for billions of dollars in debt and false promises?

Start with a baby steps in Pakistan.
1: First implement electronic voting mechanism to elect genuine people. Why are we still using paper ballots? Even Indian switched to electronic voting system few years ago. Since everyone now has a single ID card, use this ID card entry for voting to avoid duplicate vote. Allow people to check their vote after the result is announced so that they can make sure their vote was not stolen. This electronic voting system is very simple to make. Being a software developer myself, I can make this system in a matter of few months.
2: Judicial, NAB, FBR, ECP and other important Appointments should not be made by politicians. These departments needs to be working independently.
3: People need to wake up and support Pakistan instead of supporting one party blindly.

@Tanweer Khan No one is saying that not pick the speaker from ruling party. However, once you are a speaker your behavior should be impartial.

@Nomi Goraya he is in the opposition and has done more then PML did as the leading opposition party. Pakistanis and our politicians are corrupt, with no morals or vision. Pakistanis deserve leaders lije Nawaz and Zardari and i hope this continues.

@SAhmad
Not at all - I live in the UK. And if you read my responses, I said that I believe that IK is very sincere, but his cronies are the same people that were in other parties before.
Believe me I have no affiliation with any political party in Pakistan - but I am a long standing Labour Party member in the UK. When Ch Sarwar joined PMLN, I could understand it, given his background and question marks about his dealings in the UK.
He resigns and immediately joins PTI. That was the day when PTI declared to me at least that they were no different than the others. Up until then, I had great hopes from IK and co.
But with Sarwar in the party - it is a recipe for disaster.
