Jewish n indian influence has corrupted ik to his core... he kept hidden his n his sister own offshore company which operated till end of 2015... his party n home allowances r run with JT n aleem khan offshores which were all made in musharraf era
. Smq's live on money from poor n illiterate... ...THEN pti sabotages Chinese President visit ..then kashmir cause is dented beyound comprehension ...then PTI tries its best to make CPEC next kalabagh dam ... n now this ... to me ... it jst IK being slave of his own desires n mistakes he committed during his golden age

 

[Erhabi]

What a stupid move. Being a PTI supporter this just sounds crazy to me. IK needs to differentiate between domestic politics and national interests. I bet If they just attend the session for Turkish PM's speech they will gain more support and respect from people.

Very Good move by IK\PTI ,why sit with a Scumbag like Panama Sharif because the corrupt moron will be in jail very soon. PTI leadership should organize a separate meeting with Turkish President Erdogan. And explain to Erdogan because of Corrupt,Mentally ill,dishonest,sluggish,Pathetic Badshah salamat (Not PM) Nawaz and his panama issues we didn't attended the parliamentary speech.

You should sit with him on such occasions because he is the Prime Minister of Pakistan and representing Pakistan while listening of Turkish Prime Minister.

Besides Imran Khan is elected to the National Assembly through public vote and it is his responsibility to attend the assembly session.

isnt he also boycotted the kashmir committee! thats a very bad decision on every level

When was the last time Kashmir committee under Fazlu held a meeting and after how many years?

 

[rizhussain44]

Not sure why everyone is blaming Khan. He isnt boycotting Turkish president, he is only boycotting session held by NS, who btw is facing corruption charges. If anyone is embarrasing Pakistan at the moment, its NS. Why dont you ppl blame NS instead? but no, a crook will not be blamed for any wrong doing because thats what expected of him, while an honest man will be blamed at every step even if his intention is genuine

Agree with you completely!

Erdogan is visiting Pakistan not Nawaz Sharif. PTI boycott is ill-advised. You want to put a united public face for your guest

ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) has decided to boycott Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s address to the joint session of parliament, to be held next week.

The decision was made by the “party leadership” at a meeting held at the residence of chairman Imran Khan in Banigala on Saturday.

Speaking to Dawn after the meeting, PTI vice chairman Shah Mehmood Qureshi said the party had decided it would not attend a joint session held under a “controversial” prime minister who was facing charges of corruption.

Mr Erdogan is scheduled to arrive in Pakistan for a two-day official visit next week. The government plans to convene a special joint sitting of parliament on Nov 17 so the Turkish president can address lawmakers.

Mr Qureshi said the PTI considered Turkey a “sincere friend” of the country and a brother Islamic state. He also said the party had great respect for the Turkish president.

However, the PTI leader said his party had a clear perspective on the Panamagate case, currently being heard by a Supreme Court bench headed by Chief Justice Anwar Zaheer Jamali.

Mr Qureshi, who served as foreign minister during the last PPP government, said he had been trying to contact the Turkish ambassador in Islamabad, seeking an appointment for a meeting between Mr Erdogan and the PTI leadership.

“We want to pay a courtesy call under Imran Khan on the Turkish president during his stay in the country,” he said, adding that the party would inform the visiting dignitary of their decision to stay away from parliament and discuss prospects for improved ties between Turkey and Pakistan.

He said the party decided to boycott the joint session because of the prime minister and not Mr Erdogan, and the party would continue to boycott parliament until the SC announced a decision in the Panama Papers case.

In response to a question, Mr Qureshi said the party, at present, only decided to boycott the National Assembly sessions, and its senators would continue to participate in sessions of the upper house. But, he said, PTI senators would not attend the joint parliamentary session convened for the Turkish president.

Sources in the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz told Dawn the party would attempt to persuade the PTI’s leadership to reconsider its boycott of the joint session as a “goodwill gesture” and prevent possible embarrassment to the government during the Turkish president’s visit.

According to them, the PML-N leadership is not very optimistic that the PTI will reconsider its decision.

When asked to comment, Minister for Parliamentary Affairs Sheikh Aftab Ahmed told Dawn that while he was not aware of his party’s official stance on the matter, the party could rethink its strategy in the coming days.

Meanwhile, according to an official statement issued by the PTI’s central media department, the party leadership condemned the government during the meeting for allegedly attempting to sweep the news leaks issue under the carpet through a “pocket (inquiry) commission”.

PTI leaders during the meeting vowed to take the Panamagate and the news leaks issues to their logical conclusion.

Erdogan welcome to Pakistan , but he need to stay away from Pakistani politics. Let Pakistani decide there political issues. Why outsider give Pakistani a unity lecture and forget mighty corruption cases. Why Nawaz called in Erdogan to deliver speech in the National Assembly of Pakistan ....for what ? ...He can individually meet lawmakers . Don't need address the Pakistani nation....PM has huge corruption allegations. ....Anyway Imran Khan has special meeting with Turkish ambassador today and he clear the dust.

I meant Mr. Imran (K)han..

it is understood and I am sure that the guy also knew .. he is just being a pillock
as far as the decision of Imran is concerned. it is downright stupid

Erdogan is a true Islamic leader. no one in the Islamic world even comes closer to this fearless guy..
god bless him

Someone should tell this moron to spare the relations with brotherly nations from his cheap politics.

hopefully he will take a U turn on his decision and for good reason
this decision is not smart. he is elected member of parliament and needs to welcome Erdogan in there
protest and political war with Nawaz must be set aside

And it is coming from Imran Khan not long ago who had fired his own accountability team for exposing corruption from within his party. It has nothing to do with corruption. It is personal vendetta that is being played at the expense of greater goods. That's why Imran Khan has lost support in great numbers recently. He is Pakistani-version of Donald Trump unfortunately.
