I joined PTI in 2008 because I believe:
- The sacrifices and efforts rendered by the millions of Muslims of the subcontinent for creation of a welfare Muslim state (Pakistan) were not being fruitful due to lack of justice and wide spread corruption in all institutions across Pakistan.
- Allah blessed Pakistanis with an ideological state to unite Ummah for implementing and demonstrating the true Islamic values to the world.
- In the country ridden by corrupt politicians, Imran Khan is a hope that Allah has not abandoned those who sacrificed their lives and belongings for the creation of Pakistan.
- Imran Khan gave Pakistanis hope at a very critical time when the country was facing the challenge if its survival and the nation had lost hope. He was revealed as a Messiah and played a critical role to unite the heart-broken nation and took steps to turn the dream of Pakistan into a reality by making it a welfare state and his commitment to make justice easy, effective and accessible by common man.
- Ineffective and passive behaviour of the majority plagued the nation and let the dishonest, selfish and greedy politicians control our destiny that lead the country to current state of turmoil.
- PTI’s vision is the only way to lead Pakistan out of the dire strait to a healthy and prosperous nation.
- It is duty of every Pakistani to standby and support Imran Khan and his movement in fulfilling the obligations for which Pakistan was created.
- I am very committed to the assistance of PTI in delivering its objectives and pray to Allah to bless me with strength and determination to stay committed to the noble cause for rest of my life.
