Imran Khan Succumbs to Conventional Politicians

It seems as if Tehrik-e-Insaaf`s inudctions are a setback to a party claiming to be the nouveau hope. But do we know if these inductees the typical lotas (point shouldn`t be taken), or merely honest unkown (unknown and honest- verly likley combinations remember) politicians. If this helps in giving the Tehrik-e-Insaaf a voice in an assembly, then it just may be well. Elections aren`t around the corner, and PTI really does need some senior voices. Look at Meraj Khalid- a stauch former Piplya, he is as honest as one can get and is helping the PML gvt. in punjab. Once cannot just sit back and wait.

However, I am merely looking at things from the outside. I have read that Nasim Zehra and Owais Ghani have quit the PTI because it shed the stance of No-Old-Timers Allowed. Maybe they felt that PTI had gone sour- or was PTI merely sour grapes? sanoon kee...

Being an unabashed, unashamed, staunch supporter and believer in Tehrik-e-insaaf, I feel that including some of the old guard is a wise step. Perhaps Imran has realised that change has to woo the powers-that-be to succeed. Since when has diplomacy harmed the political cause?. I would be worried if he made major changes to the agenda of the Tehrik. All this means is that he is gaining ground.

Cant say that TI is dead just because some
old foggies have signed up. Imran had to do what he had to do given teh dismal showings in the polls. He needed some representation and he has it now. The question is will his new friends be coerced into representing Imran and TI or will they ``just be themselves``.

Alliances come and alliances go (remember ``nuswaar dhoti kahan say aiye``?). This ``blood transfusion`` will serve its purpose and go away too.
