PTI UK condemns the release of Raymond Davis

Press Releases | Posted by Rizwan
Mar 17 2011

(London 16-03-2011) Pakistan Tehreek-e-Inasf (PTI) UK condemns the release of Raymond Davis, the American who murdered 2 Pakistani citizens and indirectly killed 2 other people. It is a black day for the people of Pakistan as the elected government of Pakistan and all its allies have failed the nation and have put their personal interests above the national interest. We denounce the government for not taking a stand for its own people and treating us as cannon and fodder.   This release was pre-planned and the PPP government, all the major political parties, judiciary and the military establishment seem to be a party in delivering Raymond Davis to the Americans as per the ‘deal’.  After John Kerry’s visit to Pakistan, it was obvious that Raymond Davis would be released. It was a matter of time.

As per Chairman Imran Khan, the ‘match was fixed’ at the highest levels.  PTI has taken a firm stand against the unjust release of Raymond Davis.  PTI will be out on the streets and Chairman Imran Khan has called upon all the nation to take a stand against this gross injustice in violation of our laws and come out on the streets for peaceful protests across Pakistan. Chairman Imran Khan will be leading the protest on Friday March 18 2011 after the Friday prayers in Lal Masjid. Also today a number of party members were beaten and arrested in Lahore.

It is about time that we as a nation, take a stand against injustice and against open ‘”sell out” by our own government and leaders.  When will the drone attacks, war on our borders, planned killings and murders stop. When will we know what CIA and undercover mercenaries are doing in Pakistan.  The question is whether we are liberated or enslaved ?  Chairman Imran Khan said that he had explained to the American ambassador in Pakistan that it is time to stop appointing and supporting puppets as this is increasing anti American sentiments. The people of Pakistan want a credible leader and a leader who will be accountable to them.

The Guardian reported all the items that were found in Raymond Davis’s car – he could have been tried for spying or for being a mercenary or simply for murder.  Raymond Davis was given 50 days and was fined PKR 20 thousand for possession of arms and the three murders.  Dr Aafia has been given 86 years for ‘attempted’ murder.  We have heard that the families of the victims were given an enormous amount of blood money as well as entry into USA.  Chairman Imran Khan had visited the homes of two of the people murdered soon after the crime and the families were adamant that they will not accept blood money.  No one bothered investigating the motives behind Raymond Davis’s presence in Pakistan in Lahore and for carrying arms and killing Pakistanis.  A full fledge inquiry should have been launched especially after President Obama, one of the most powerful men in the world, publicly defended Raymond Davis.

Judges should have based this case on what the law stipulates and not what the politicians wanted.  The decision to release Raymond Davis has shown cracks in our judicial system.  Where does this leave our justice system? How has it failed us especially when the crime was committed in front of witnesses and on our soil.  The government has told the nation the true worth of a Pakistani life – zero value.

PTI and the people of Pakistan want answers and we will not rest till we get them.  It seems that the judges have made a mistake.  Raymond Davis should be returned to Pakistan to face trial for murder and for spying.  We may be liberals or conservative in our outlook however we all agree that Pakistan’s sovereignty should never be compromised.

PTI UK is planning a demonstration in London in the next few days. We will keep you informed. Please visit our facebook “ptiukofficial” for more information.

PTI UK Hosts an event in East London

(London Jan 30 2011) – Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf UK hosted a very successful event at the Pavilion, in Walthamstow East London on Jan 30 2011. The event’s main purpose was to meet with existing and new members who want to support PTI.  There was an overwhelming turnout as people had come from Birmingham, Manchester, Bristol, Oxford, Cambridge and different parts of London.   The venue was a sponsored by Mr Haji Kareem of the Pavilion.
Kashif Jan and Atif Chaudhry hosted the event. Kashif and Atif emphasized the theme for the afternoon which was “Unity”.  The event started with Talawat Quran Pak by Mohammed Bin Qasim followed by a welcome note by Ms Rabia Zia. The key message was for all UK PTI supporters to deliver for Pakistan and for PTI. The only way to achieve this is for us to be united.  The upcoming elections in the UK will take us towards a democratic setup within the party.  Also with regards to oppression and suffering in Pakistan, she said that if Tunisia and Egypt (with 80 m population) can bring a change then why cant we do the same in Pakistan where the population is 180 million.  We are looking for a peaceful change for the betterment of the people. Again this boils down to having one objective, one mission, one vision and unity. It is clear that change is on its way and we have to be prepared for it – PTI needs to be prepared for this.  Thus the party needs good candidates, finances and committed votes.
Next came Khwaja Imtiaz who emphasized the theme of ‘unity’ and welcomed everyone to join the struggle of PTI for a better Pakistan.  Mr Imtiaz said that all party workers need to work together so that the party can move forward in the UK and in Pakistan & asked all to remain focused on the end goal which is PTI and Pakistan.  Khwaja Imtiaz also announced a PTI convention in March 2011 in London (more details to follow).
A number of other key speakers addressed the audience including  Akram Dhareeja from Nottingham who said that we must carry the old guard to work in tandem with the youth.  Councillor Niaz from Oxford said that Pakistan needs Mr Imran Khan as the only viable option in this chaos, Shahid Dastgir who leads the Human Rights Wing emphasized the need for a strong independent judiciary and Election Commission, Mr Khalid Rasheed spoke on police reforms & reducing corruption, Raja Najabat who heads the Kashmir Tehreek in the UK requested Mr Imran Khan to take up the Kashmir issue, Ch Basharat who is a die hard worker of PTI since the last 14 years urged everyone to work in unity under the banner of Imran Khan, Farhat Faheem who is leading PTI in Gujar Khan said that major works are being carried out in Pakistan however we need further assistance for spreading our office network across Pakistan, Mahtab Aziz a leading lawyer, Nasr ullah from Nottingham thanked the party for giving youth the opportunity to address the forum and highlighted that PTI is a party that symbolizes the aspirations of the youth of Pakistan.  M Khalil Chaudhry from Birmingham, Mohammed Bin Qasim from Southall, Mr Irfan Butt from Birmingham all urged that we need to work in unity and we need to work for Pakistan and PTI.
Different topics were discussed by various speakers however key message to the audience was that PTI is the only party who has a leader that people trust & who has credibility and following on a global stage and is the only hope for Pakistan. Mr Imran Khan is the only politician whose name was mentioned in Wikileaks who highlighted the fallout and devastation of the war in Pakistan and Afghanistan. Even his strongest critics respect his honesty and acknowledge the work he has done for the people of Pakistan.
During lunch, a very talented poet, Mr Sohail, recited some his poems which will be published soon. There was also representation from NUPSA (National Union of Pakistan Students and Alumni).  PTI UK would like to thank the Nation newspaper, all the volunteers (PTI members) who helped with the food and setup and the sponsors of the event including Dr Raana, Aqib Dar, Sameena Qasim, Sobia Zia, Mohd Bin Qasim, Khurram Naeem, Zaid Ansari, Faisal Khwaja, Javaid Malik (Bhowana), Wajid Abbassi and many others.

Imran Khan ki Pukaar raises over a £105k for the flood victims of Pakistan in collaboration with MKRF

Press Releases | Posted by Rizwan
Oct 12 2010

(London Oct 10) – Imran Khan Flood Relief (IKFR) UK held a very successful charity dinner on October 9 2010 at the Coliseum Suite in East London. The dinner was sold out with more than 600 guests attending. Key sponsors were Lahore Kebab House (Mohammad Siddique) and MKRF (GEO).

As soon as Mr Khan arrived, Ms. Durdana (ex BBC presenter) started the event by inviting Allama Hafiz Mohammad Jamshed for Talawat Quran Pak.  Atif Chaudhary, a key member of the IKFR events team gave an overview of the situation in Pakistan and the objectives of the dinner which were to raise funds for the flood victims.  Next came Ms Rabia Zia (IKFR UK) who acknowledged & thanked all the guests, including the sponsors, the raffle prize donors (Khwaja Imtiaz, Zameer Haider, Moni Das) & the donors for the auction (Arfan Akram, Nabeel Mussarat, Rashid Sultan) as well as the IKFR UK dinner team. Ms Zia provided an update on the funds collected so far by IKFR UK which total £ 657000.  After dinner, Mr. Imran Khan & Ms Zia met with individual guests to thank them for their support and participation.
Mr Khan then took the stage and gave an overview of what IKFR is doing in the short, medium and long term for the flood victims in Pakistan.  At present IKFR has provided immediate relief by sending trucks full of food and medicine to 35,000 families.  Also 55,000 families have been helped through medical relief centers that have setup.  IKFR is also providing seeds to 200,000 farmers in time for the next harvest.  This will prevent food shortages next year.
Mr Khan then went on to describe the model villages that IKFR is building which include houses, proper sewerage, water and electric supply lines, roads, a medical centre, a community centre, a school and other amenities as well as seed and livestock for the families. IKFR plans to build approximately 100 of these model villages based on impartial selection through a ballot.  A village can comprise of 200 to 1200 homes depending on the size of the community. An average home costs approximately PKR 125,000 to 150,000 (£1500). However this cost will vary across provinces.  Thus a village will cost approximately £500,000. IKFR will also provide zero percent micro financing so that people can re-build their lives.  Imran Khan also said that IKFR is committed to keeping the administration’s costs at a minimal which are at 0-1 % at present and will be kept at this mark.  Mr Khan explained that people all over the world can participate in this effort by ‘adopting a village’ as part of the reconstruction / rehabilitation phase. IKFR is also working with Google Pakistan to avail the technology that will enable people to see the progress of each village.
Mr Khan explained that the Government of Pakistan has been ineffective as it has not been able to cope with the current scale of the disaster and even until now the Government does not seem to know what is required across Pakistan for the flood victims. IKFR has used the advice of the Disaster relief agencies to formulate the medium and long term plans. Mr Khan described the governance structure of IKFR including the Board members and said that we are using Ferguson’s for auditing the IKFR accounts.

The speech was followed by a short Q&A, and an auction in which Mr Khan participated fully.  The evening ended with a raffle and entertainment by artist Qasim.

We would like to thank all the volunteers who made this event a success starting with Atif Chaudhary, Zaid Ansari, Rizwan Chand, Asim Khan, Khurram Naeem, Faisal Khwaja, Sobia Zia, Kashif Chaudhary, Yaseen Ilyaas, Sadia Afghan, Muhammad Qasim, Arfan Akram, Yaseen Shah, Shazaib, Saleem, Faraz Anjum, Mr Akram, Ahmad Raza, Ali, Furqan, Ibrahim Dar for photgraphs and Latif Qureshi for the video.   We would also like to thank the media and journalists for their coverage including all the security volunteers.

PTI UK CONDEMNS THE BLASPHEMOUS ACT OF IDEA OF ‘BURNING THE QURAN’

Press Releases | Posted by Rizwan
Sep 12 2010

PTI UK (London Sept 10 2010) strongly condemns the ‘idea’ of burning the Quran on the anniversary of September 11 attacks in the United States (US). The act apparently was part of the protest planned by Terry Jones, a small time pastor to coincide with the 9th anniversary of attacks on the US and against the building of an Islamic centre near Ground Zero. Although the burning has been called off, this can be termed as a ‘selfish and provocative’ act by the pastor to spread hatred across the world.  Also the pastor does not realize that the Quran cannot be harmed as it is in the hearts and minds of approximately 1.6 billion muslims in the world.

This act clearly contradicts the American values of ‘freedom of religion’ and ‘freedom of expression’.  It also highlights the existence of extremism, intolerance, and radicals within the US. If the pastor wanted to attract media attention then he has failed as major American channels refused to cover this incidence in case it went ahead.

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia including all the Middle Eastern oil powers as well as countries like Malaysia, Pakistan, Indonesia and other Islamic states should officially protest to President Barack Obama to ensure that this blasphemy does not take place. Considering that approximately 7 million plus muslims live in the US, this act will be contrary to the national interests of United States.

PTI UK strongly condemns the brutal killing of the two brothers in Sialkot

Press Releases | Posted by Rizwan
Aug 22 2010

(ISB Aug 22) PTI UK strongly condemns the brutal killing of the two brothers on August 21 2010 in Sialkot.  Our sincerest condolences and prayers for the family of the brothers.

This gruesome murder of two brothers in the presence of the police and others who just stood and watched shows how barbaric, insensitive and shameless we have become as a nation.

This incidence shows the brutality and the moral decline of all including the police who are supposed to protect the lives of the civilians. The police standing by and being an accomplice in this horror is the most shocking aspect. The suspension of the police officers is not enough. All those involved need to be given the appropriate punishment so that a lesson is learnt and this incident is never repeated.

No one has the right to take law into their own hands and it is the responsibility of the Government and its police force to ensure that this does not happen however in this incidence two boys have beaten to death in front of ordinary men and women.  Is this the beginning of a total decline in humanity.

The Government needs to be held accountable for this incidence and needs to ensure that all culprits are brought to justice.
