Lahore: Itched by apparently not so good performance of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf Lahore Region President Mahmadur Rasheed, leaders of party’s Youth Wing have formed a strong faction against him.
Some of workers of the Youth Wing say that newly inducted leaders are trying to hijack the party which could harm the party.
In a letter to the central committee members including Aarif Alvi, Hamid Khan, Ahsan Rasheed and Mian Azhar they opined, “Nepotism in PTI is intolerable and if you ignore our opinion we will do the same with you”.
After application, amendments have been made in steering committees of PTI Punjab, the largest province of the country by population, the youth members said.
Total number of members in Central Punjab Committee is 18, in West Punjab Committee 17 members, in North Punjab Committee 13 members and in Southern Punjab Committee 19 members.
The youth wing also criticized on PTI Vice Chairman Shah Mahmood Qureshi on inducting only his loyals and ignoring Central Vice President of the party Ejaz Chaudhri.
Youth wing also complained that the Lahore region’s president was converting party into a family party at Lahore level.
“He is inducting his relatives in the party and was lobbying for party ticket,” they noted.
So far the youth wing has conducted four meetings against various party leaders at Bagh e Jinnah, a local hotel, residence of Abdul Rasheed Bhatii and a place at Jail in which up to 600 party workers took part.
Some party insiders view that PTI Vice Chairman is interested in leading youth wing and for this purpose he is supporting central committee’s member Mian Abdul Aleem.
Similarly other main leaders of PTI are also trying to get support of the youth wing disturbing party affairs in Punjab. But so far the wing has not decided to favour any particular leader.
