Talk:Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf

Ideological base
The section, as it is now, is terrible. First and foremost because it doesn't even give a hint of what's the ideological position of the party, but also because of the language. Not everyone can write in english like a brit or an american, but seriously... Pharaohmø 19:40, 4 May 2007 (UTC) [=100001363679075&p[]=178072748893839]] Share Imran Khan on facebook I'm not sure how much of an ideological base Imran Khan's party has, but the entry here is hardly objective - it looks more like a party leaflet. Can someone who actually knows Pakistani politics rewrite it with a bit more objectivity please? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.85.13.113 (talk) 09:53, 14 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Totally correct. Rewriting is essential. Zaslav (talk) 22:50, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
 * The original article was much better. How can a political party have a major influence on the middle class and win only 0.8% of the national vote? Kf0030 (talk) 06:05, 11 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Point well made. This article: Economy_of_Pakistan suggests a middle class of 30 million people. Their votes wwere rougly 150m (mid point in 2002 from Pakistan) x 40% (turnout) x 70% (rough voting age population) x 0.8% = 350k. That's about 1% - even allowing for my broad brush approach it doesn't make a "major influence". I'm going to delete this sentence. AndrewRT(Talk) 13:58, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

Citations needed
Although the content in this entry is comprehensive, I could hardly find enough citations to back half the content here. It should be taken up as a vital exercise to clean up the entire article and present factual information with proper citations so as the people looking for their party favourites in Pakistan's next election get accurate information.

Edit request on 8 September 2012
Can you remove the picture of Ejaz Chaudhary and Ahsan Rasheed on the PTI webpage? You should put a group photo of Party leaders here? What are trying to show by just showing pictures of these two people only?

BTW, I only see pictures of Imran Khan and one with Chaudhary in the background. I don't think any sort of idea is being pushed.

left- right politics
Left- right politics is not a specific political stance. This term is used for whole ideological politics.

Orphaned references in Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "auto1": From Pakistani general election, 2018:  From Punjab, Pakistan:  

Reference named "auto2": From Pakistani general election, 2018:  From Punjab, Pakistan:  

Reference named "auto": From Pakistani general election, 2018: </li> <li>From Punjab, Pakistan: </li> </ul>

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 22:57, 23 July 2018 (UTC)

Content removed from lead
I removed this, already tagged as confusing, from the lead: "PTI has led the efforts to highlight corruption of the rulers. This effort is spearheaded by Chairman Imran Khan himself. Party activists especially Abdul Quayyum Khan Kundi, Saleem Jan, Jahangir Rehman, Ali Asghar Khan, Shahbaz Gul Shinwari, Yaqoob Izhar and Dr. Farid Malik have requested party Chairman that without constitutional organization the divisions inside the party cannot be overcome which could cause us to lose general elections.

"abolition of personal income tax"
Does the party really stand for "abolition of personal income tax" as written in the beginning. I thought the opposite is the case, because no one pays income tax they want to raise awareness and also tax the rich more. Ceever (talk) 12:23, 21 August 2018 (UTC)

Lifting article to the GA status
Articles related politics of Pakistan need most and immediate improvements & re-write ups. A while ago when I bumped upon this article, it was almost like an advertisement poster from the party. Existing version looks much better now with a good lead but needs a lot of work on sections. I'd like it fellow editors support me replace all party with sources with third party sources with neutral write ups over all sections with maximum use of inline citations.

I know the task isn't going to be that easy as not only Pakistani politics has relatively limited coverage in scholastic sources. But also because PTI is too new party to power. If we can maintain a high quality even after these issues and obtain WP:GA status for it, it will be great. Aman Kumar Goel (Talk) 06:09, 10 August 2020 (UTC)

My removal of content
I removed significant additions by. The primary reason was that most of the text added under Position read like an election pamphlet; certainly it was far from an impartial, encyclopaedic description. Then, the "political position" in the infobox was expanded with promotional slogans, like "social justice", etc. (which obviously has nothing to do with political positions); party membership data was updated as "2021", however all the three added references were nearly a decade old.

Chairman & SG infobox lines
For the time being, the Supreme Court judgement in Election Commission of Pakistan v. Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf is in force regarding the party's latest internal elections. In the detailed reasoning released recently the bench holds that no election was held at all on 2 December 2023. Regarding two officers mentioned in the infobox in particular, it stated (p. 18):


 * "Mr. Umer Ayub Khan describes himself as the Secretary General of PTI, but without there being anything credible on record to show how he had assumed this important position."
 * "Mr. Gohar Ali Khan describes himself as the Chairman of PTI, but in his case too there is nothing credible on record to establish how he had claimed to be the Chairman, and supplanted himself with Mr. Imran Ahmed Khan Niazi"

Should the infobox lines be changed to reflect this, i.e. back to Imran Khan for Chairman and vacant for SG? Regardless of its merits, the SC order states the legal position until and unless it's overturned; on the other hand, in practical terms the party rejects the judgement and continues to treat Gohar as Chairman and Umer Ayub as SG (negotiations, media appearances etc.). Media sources aren't unanimous: Dawn has Gohar as "former PTI chairman", the Pakistan Observer refers to him as chairman. 62.77.213.132 (talk) 21:17, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
