The Gutter Politics of the Container

Who said “It is worth noting here that we circularized KASB Bank Limited only as we were not allowed to write letters to other banks in which employees had accounts.” – Special Auditor, Ahsan & Ahsan

Who said “people, who became members through telephone help lines, were all disenfranchised during the Intra-Party Elections” - Tasnim Noorani, Ahmed Awais, Yacooq Izhar

AND, WHO GETS ACCUSED WITH SLANDER FOR DEMANDING ACCOUNTABILITY FOR THE ABOVE – Akbar S. Babar
What else should one expect from the gutter politics of the container which is more a cesspool of ‘Vice’ than a fountain of reform; where every evening predators are on the prowl looking for easy and innocent prey, where the chief political advisor of the chief reformer also happens to be the chief of the gutter tribe of politics, where the chief communication tool of the chief reformer is ‘Oye, ’and where the chief reformer’s chief spokesperson’s lineage is described by one of her ancestors (Sardar Sher Baz Mazari) in his book titled ‘A Journey to Disillusionment’ Page 151 quote Ashiq Mazari had by now become a habitual opponent of the Mazari chief family. The fault was not all his. Due to reasons of his birth his close family members had refused to acknowledge him and had even tried to deny him his inheritance unquote.

Former PTI office bearer asks ECP to probe financial bungling in party accounts, accuses PTI chairman of patronising corrupt party members
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) former vice president Akbar S Babar Friday filed a petition with the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) to probe financial irregularities in PTI.
Accompanied by PTI members and lawyers, Babar submitted the petition to ECP’s Additional Director General Masood Malik.
Talking to reporters, Babar said that the filing of the petition was the starting point of a legal battle that would culminate in cleansing the PTI of corruption and the corrupt.
“After waiting for three years in the hope that the PTI leadership would take notice of documented corruption in the party and hold the corrupt accountable, I had no option but to pursue the legal course,” said Babar.
Babar, a founding member of PTI, said the party was formed to cleanse the decaying political system and ensure transparency and accountability but it was heading towards becoming a conventional political party instead.
“PTI is a national asset and must be saved from corruption,” he said.
He alleged that workers who were with the PTI for years for the cause of “change”, were increasingly becoming despondent as there was no justice, accountability and merit in the party.
Babar said that PTI Special Audit Report commissioned in March 2013 at his request, had proved that PTI’s accounts were in shambles.
Giving an example of misuse of party funds, he said around $2 million had been received from PTI members in the United States between February 2010 and June 2013 only for the opening of PTI district offices but alleged that not a single office had been opened with that money.
“The report substantiated the fears I expressed to party Chairman Imran Khan in September 2011 that donations for the party had gone into private bank accounts of PTI employees,” said Babar, adding that even at that time he had demanded a “forensic audit” of PTI accounts and formation of an accountability commission.
Babar alleged that the special auditor was not given full information and was denied the right to conduct audit of party expenses, including that of donations received for the 2013 elections and expenses incurred.
Such actions had created the impression that corruption is being protected and patronised by the top PTI leadership, he added.
Babar lamented the fact that the PTI chairman, instead of taking swift action against the corrupt in late 2011, decided to ignore them and chose to protect and patronise them.
