The Edi Milan dinner hosted by
the DFW chapter of Pakistan Tehrik-e- Insaf (PTI) on August 25, in a local
hotel, turned out to be a splendid event. The food was excellent, plentiful and
decidedly sumptuous and delicious.
The banquet hall of Kasra an
Iranian restaurant in Richardson was bustling with the guests mostly families. Some
of them had come with their children.
The main event was to update and
enlighten the DFW audience about the plans and manifesto of the PTI that it
would implement if voted into power. The president of the PTI for this region
Mr. Nadeem Zaman made a brilliant and passionate presentation about the PTI’s activities
during the past year in DFW particularly and elsewhere in the United States
generally. He spoke about the PTI’s marked progress and great strides toward
its expansion and increasing its membership both in DFW and beyond that.
He informed the guests that from its
one single chapter, the PTI has grown now to 70 chapters. This amazing expansion
he said was an incontrovertible testimony and evidence to the fact that the
PTI’s revolutionary program for transformation of Pakistan into a great and
developed nation was in sync with the aspirations of the People of Pakistan.
He talked of the dedicated team
that was working very hard to popularize PTI and disseminate its watershed
agenda that was indispensable and long overdue for changing the destiny of Pakistan
and modeling it into a modern state. He said that Imran Khan would be coming to
Dallas sometime in October.
Another speaker Mr. Ali Farooq
(PTI Dallas Information Secretary) also dwelt at length at reforms and changes
that PTI would bring about in Pakistan if it comes into power. He hoped that
the people of Pakistan would overwhelmingly vote for the PTI so that they can
get rid of a corrupt lot of leaders and decadent system that have ruined our
magnificent country of origin in various ways.
He disclosed that in order to
ensure that voting would be fair and honest; a contingent of ten members from
the PTI would be posted at every polling station. It means that some one hundred thousand
volunteers would undertake this onerous task. He mentioned about the
declaration of their assets by the top leaders of the PTI which so far has not
been done by other parties to notches.
Ms. Anjum
Anwar(member PTI Dallas Organizing Committee) a famous radio host was
the compere of this great and awesome evening resplendent with a sumptuous
dinner studded with Iranian cuisine, music, tableau by the young children. All
the speakers unfurled the curtain raiser of a vital political force emerging on
the political horizon of Pakistan, i.e., Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf under the
stewardship of its illustrious chairman Imran Khan.
The children stage show was a stunning
combination of prayers, national anthem and Allama Iqbal’s (poet of the East)
famous poem (Lab pay Atee hay Dua).The children were awarded souvenirs for
their well prepared stage tableau.
