    PTI UK has denied the impression that KHAN sb was running a campaign for zac goldsmith...
    the authour of the article was sent the following open letter by the party:"Dear Mr Shah

    The article below has one purpose only and that is to malign Mr Khan's one off trip to the Kingston mosque in support of an individual namely Zac Goldsmith who is also his ex-brother in law. You have unsuccessfully tried to create a perception that Mr Khan is running a full election campaign for the Conservative party in the UK."

    O YOU who have attained to faith! Do not take the Jews and the Christians for your allies: they are but allies of one another and whoever of you allies himself with them becomes, verily, one of them; behold, God does not guide such evildoers. (Al Quran: 5, 51)

    <<Khan clarified: “Zac Goldsmith maybe my ex-brother-in-law. However, he is true to his cause and is anti-war.” Khan said he would ask all his party supporters in the UK to support and vote for any MP who was anti-war. Khan went on to say that Zac was not only honest but did not need to be a politician. However, he has committed himself to understanding issues of all the people, especially the minorities (whose voice is often not heard) in his constituency in order to be able to provide solutions to their problems. We would like to clarify this is Khan’s second visit to the Kingston mosque.

    What clarification? Asking for votes for Zac is SAME AS ASKING FOr VOTES FOR THE CONSERVATIVE PARTY. Maybe Imran Khan doesn't realise that not every political party is a Tanga Party, and therefore, asking for votes for a aspiring candidate of a party is same as asking for votes for the party itself. If I ask for votes for, suppose Nabeel Gabol, it will be the same as asking for votes for PPP. If someone votes for Nabeel Gabol, then they basically vote for PPP and PPP gets into power and government. In a non-Tanga party, you cannot separate a political worker from his political party. Now, are the values represented by Conservative party really the values Imran Khan would like to be advertising? Conservative was pro-war of Afghanistan and Iraq and has virtually similar policies on War on Terrorism, which Imran Khan apparently opposes.

    Secondly, on a moralistic front, if it is ok for Imran Khan to be asking for votes for his brother-in-law, then technically it should also be ok for someone to give his political seat to their relative, as both cases basically represent FAVOURITISM of their relative. It all seems like dynastic/family politics to me.

    If Zac Goldsmith is anit-WAR then how is he part of the elite inner circle of a PRO-war British conservative party.
    Heck, he is their deputy leader.

    Imran Khan advises Pakistani politicians to domicile their assets in Pakistan, while supporting his ex-Bro-In-Law who is running for Parliament with his assets domiciled out of UK.

    One standard for others another standard for his own.
    Great principled stand Imran Khan.

    Can you say HYPOCRACY?

    Well Bilwal is Zardari's son and all his cabinet advisors are his friends, does that make it okay?

    Not according to Imran.

    If Imran criticises others for being nepotistic, how does he justify his own nepotism.

    This means he has no principles and does not practice what he preaches.

    @tamaz khan
    it does'nt sound good but at the end of day he will lead party soon so he should have good relation with cabinet members, do not treat him as zardari's son, treat him as co chairman of the party.
    i don't know which principle you are talking about,to me he is honest in his approach, no one ever raised issue about his integrity and he is patriotic pakistani just like you and many others.
    he tells politican to bring their money because he knows politician only comes in pakistan to spend time in govt, politicians don't care what we endure, politicians hate living in paksitan thats why they keep their assets abroad.
    Trouble is we have been very very unlucky, we never got what we wanted, we always had someone we never wished for, it hurts and it hurts badly.

    What credentials does Zardari's son have to lead the largest party in Pakistan, apart from an accident of birth? Imran Khan himself critices this 'family furniture' approach to leadership.

    Isn't Zac goldsmith doing the same as Pakistani politicians only going to UK for politics and keeping his assets abroad? So if Imran thinks Pakistanis shouldn't do this why can UK politicians?

    The princple I am talking about is the priciple of fair judgment.
    Imran should not criticise Pakistanis for supporting War on Terror and then support a Gora who supports the war, just because he is his ex-brother in law!

    You seem to have missed the point :) The problem is not that he is friends with Zac. The problem is that he is helping someone who is a candidate of CONSERVATIVE PARTY, and therefore he is helping conservative party itself (as I explained in more detail in my last post). In other words, he is helping conservative party get into power, though conservative party has opposite stands to Imran Khan on most issues, including War on Iraq (they were pro-war), Afghanistan and the whole orchestration of war on terrorism. In other words, Imran Khan has literally sold his believes and 'ideology'.

    The second problem is that he is using his power to support his brother-in-law, which in my book theoretically puts him in the same category as Zardari or Nawaz - the only difference is that Imran Khan doesn't happen to have that much of power.
