The " Team" that Imran Khan so often talks about.

[Mabs]

We have all heard Imran Khan praise his "team" on numerous occasions, without brining their names to people' attention. The naysayers have always used this against the PTI and have labelled it a one man army. With a little bit of effort I was able to dig up some of the PTI's torch bearers. I would ask everyone to keenly analyze their resume, and offer( if any) positive, well directed and constructive criticism.

Anyone with any other info regarding the PTI team is also welcome to add to the thread.

SPOKESPERSON FOR HEALTH CARE:

He started off his career in UK hospitals by serving in many Plastic and Burns Units. He couldn’t resist his patriotism for long and he has decided to devote his career and himself for his nation.

He moved back to Pakistan in 2000 only to serve his nation by bringing in new technology and entrepreneurship. In Pakistan he started as Consultant Hair Transplant Surgeon from 2000 to 2005 in a private clinic.

Embracing an excellent repute on International level, a true patriot at heart always believed in extending the medical services to all the people in Pakistan. He has been actively involved in bringing Medical Tourism to Pakistan. His idea of justice in health care system has made him join PTI about two years back, but ideologically he was always a believer in justice system. Since he does not have any political background but he believes that in order to purge the current system of non-governance, more and more professionals and people with good governing skills should be taking active part in politics.

After joining the party in 2008, he was given the task to organise and work in the health policy and identify the areas of health services and problems. In 2010 he was also assigned the task of finding the solution to these problems. By September 2010, he also took upon himself another task of organising the PTI basic party structure, by training the Regional, Provincial and Union Council Coordinators at grass root level.

He has been building up their motivational skills. He has been nominated as the secretary of International Chapter Affairs. Furthermore, he has been included a member of Central Executive Committee.

He has a proven ability to organize a health care facility and is recognized for ability to work with very diverse clients and staff. An out-going personality and quick thinker with extremely flexible ability to function under chaotic situations.

He has been actively participating in arranging press conferences, appearing for media interviews covering major cities, and corresponding with individuals and groups on behalf of PTI.

He believes in a concept of welfare system of governance where minimum essential medical services and minimum essential medics should be accessible to 100% of population, rather than what is happening today where only 26% of population enjoy that facility.

He is a hardworking professional who is willing to go to any lengths to help his country to re-establish. He has excellent communication skills and tremendous convincing power to assure others of the party’s policies, strategies and knows what stand to take in order to manifest a positive public image of his political party.

Education:

F.Sc. Cadet College Kohat

When and why did I join PTI:
I have spent 32 years of my life with Islami Jamiat-e-Talba as Nazim-e-Alla Pakistan and Deputy Secretary General of Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistan but role of religious parties since 1999 in the politics of Pakistan has not been positive, so I decided to leave.
The truthful stand of Chairman Imran Khan inspired me to join PTI so I joined PTI in September 2007 as Central Vice President.

What do I want to do for PTI:
I started my political career from grass root and was elected as Councilor / Nazim of local Government three times. I have served as Deputy Mayor Lahore Metropolitan Corporation for one term, I also contested as MPA and MNA from my area and served a party which is known as the most organized party in Pakistan. So my interest is to organize PTI at all levels and make it a big political party, motivate and activate in all walks of life especially youth and students. So I conceived the idea of Insaf Student Federation and put it before CEC where it was decided that a student body should be launched under my supervision. The Insaf Students Federation has been introduced in almost all educational institutions and cities of Pakistan within last couple of months. Now our goal is to make a strong students organization.
ISF shall be the vanguard and the nursery of PTI.

I joined PTI one month before emergency was declared in Pakistan by Gen Musharraf and Lawyers movement

Wasn't exactly an event but since i was interested in politics and three things motivated me towards PTI:

(2) Imran Khan was my ideal
(3) Wanted to take a political career with a clean leadership, which was available in PTI

[Leader]

that is indeed a great team !

 

[Mabs]

You are right. I doubt that any other political party would have such people under its wings.

 

[Jawad BT]

Good Job..

Now you only have to convince the common man.. of only 104 Districts.. and trust me if you plan well you might get more then 25% of seats, in all the houses.. See if you can highlight issues in every District.. And i didnt see any one for Media and Communication whos running that Department.. Thats the most important image building Department.. Never throw a loose ball..

 

[bc040400065]

My goodness, even i m surprized. That is some great team and if this team is given the go ago i can clearly claim that they can do wonders for Pakistan. Look at their achivements and then compare it with people like jamsheed dasti and others of present government. Great team indeed. Allah Nazar-e -bad se bachaye, Ameen.

 

[Mabs]

You are right Jawad, we really have to pull up our socks now and tirelessly work to maneuver things in the right direction.Those who cry foul and criticise, neither turn out to cast their vote nor are willing to come out on the streets. Drones and Raymond Davis will continue to happen and the Pakistani establishment continue to play to the familiar tune.

Your concern about media & communication head is valid, I could not find a justice head as well but I am sure that people just as intelligent and dedicated as these are in the party and will surface with the passage of the time. Intelligentsia is the most important class of the society that you need on your side to mold the public opinion in your favor. With the likes of Justice Wajihuddin and the above mentioned people flocking to join PTI, we can safely assume that we are catching their attention.

Karachi: 03, April, 2011:

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Sindh , PS113 chapter organized a corner meeting at the Neelum Colony on Sunday. The meeting was addressed by PTI Sindh President Mr. Naeem Ul Haq, Provincial Constituency Organizer (PCO) PS113 Mr. Samar Ali Khan, PS 113 leader Mr. Faisal Malik, Women Wing President - Karachi South Region Mrs. Sadia Agha and Mr. Imran Ghazali.

PTI Sindh President Mr. Naeem Ul Haque addressed the people and introduced manifesto of PTI. He said PTI resolves to make Pakistan "Islamic Welfare State" based on judicial, social and economic justice. Mr. Haque said that PTI has done the study and Pakistan has ample of resources to provide free education and health care to the poor masses of Pakistan. He further said that he had been visiting the interior areas of Sindh and the situation is desperate there, where there is no water, no electricity and almost no food for poor people of Pakistan. He stressed that at one end the ruling elite of Pakistan is living in palaces, 70% of police is working to provide security to "VIPs", while the law and order situation is worsening day by day for common citizens. He said PTI’s revolutionary polices will shift its focus from VIPs to the problems faced by the masses of Pakistan.

Mr. Samar Ali Khan also addressed the audience and announced the formation of committees which will insure to address the issues faced by the local residents. Mr. Khan said PS113 team will hold weekly meetings with the local committee and will address the issues of the residents of Neelum Colony and will take action to resolve the problems faced by them.

Mr. Faisal Malik addressed the meeting and said that the current government spends less than 0.5% of the total budget on education. He said PTI will increase this to at least 4%, through which we will be able to provide free education to masses of Pakistan. He further said if we end corruption and manage our resources efficiently; all problems of Pakistan can be solved.

The PTI leaders said even though we are not in government and have limited resources but we will start working to solve the problems of people. They said we did not come here to get votes but we feel the pain of people of Pakistan and we sincerely want to speak for their rights and help them to address their issues. They appealed to the people to think before voting and look at the performance of current rulers.

The local residents informed the PTI leadership about their water supply problem. Mr. Naeem took serious notice of the issue and immediately called the Karachi Water Board in-charge of the area. Water Board representative came to the area and made a commitment to solve the water supply problem of the residents. The local residents committee along with PTI PS113 leadership will insure the problem is resolved as soon as possible and they will also follow up the issue with Clifton Cantonment Board.

The meeting was very successful and the people unanimously agreed to support PTI in the area and spread its message. PTI PS 113 leadership said they will hold regular meetings with the residents to address their issues.

^^^ This is what we can and should do at the very grass root level. each and everyone of us can be a Provincial Constituency Organizer. We need to motivate people and get them going at the very basic level. Organizing corner meetings at the neighborhood/mahala level is a very effective way of communicating with the masses and understanding their problems.
