ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek Insaf on Thursday issued factual clarification over the resignation of Fauzia Kasuri and her erroneous statements about intra party disqualification and placement on the women reserved priority list.
PTI has the highest regard for her work for the party and feels it is the right of every individual to decide for themselves whether they can continue working for the ideology of PTI or not, says the clarification statement issued here on Thursday.
However, it is equally the right of PTI to clarify some erroneous statements made by Ms Kasuri - given her long association with the Party one would prefer to leave out the phrase "false allegations"
PTI still feels Ms Kasuri made a hasty and emotive decision to go public about her perceived grievances and many PTI members have been served show cause notices or removed from the Party for the same - but it was her choice from the party.
However, it would have been better had she not sought to hurl baseless allegations while concealing the real facts about her intra party disqualification and her placement on the Women Reserved Priority List.
The founding members of PTI were the following Imran Khan, Naeemul Haque, Ahsan Rasheed, Hafeez Khan (now in Canada), Mowahid Hussain Syed (now in US), Mahmood Awan (now in US), Nausherwan Burki (now in US). These seven members founded the Party in April 1996. No one else is a "founding member" while many may be very old members.
Fouzia Kasuri was disqualified from contesting the intra-party elections because she had not even begun the process of surrendering her US nationality at the time of the elections - 21st March 2013.
