Islamabad. May 28-05-2010
The Chairman of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Imran Khan has strongly condemned attacks on two places of worship in Gharhi Shahu and Model Town Lahore yesterday and expressed his deep sorrow on the loss of lives in these incidents. These episodes, he said, occurred because of the incompetence of administration. The rulers have deputed heavy contingents of police for their security, leaving the citizens utterly defenceless and at the mercy of the criminals. In a press statement, Imran Khan said that such violent incidents have become the order of the day due to incompetence of rulers.

Chairman Imran Khan & PTI condemns the atrocity against the innocent citizens of Pakistan in Lahore on May 29

May 29 2010
(PTI UK – May 30 2010) – We categorically condemn the atrocity committed in Lahore in Garhi Shahu & Model Town on May 29 2010 against the innocent citizens of Pakistan. The murder of over 80 people in a place of worship is abhorent to any decent human being and is against the teachings of Islam. Chairman Imran Khan today visited the injured at the hospital and condemned this crime against the citizens of Pakistan.
PTI hopes that the Government of Pakistan is able to catch & punish the terrorists. We sympathize with the families of the victims who will now be the ultimate sufferers of this heinous crime.
PTI is a party based on the principles of Justice (Insaf). PTI stands for one rule of law for all Pakistanis regardless of caste, creed or religion & as a sovereign nation the country has to provide security and safety to all citizens of Pakistan, irrespective of their caste, creed or religion.
Again Imran Khan did not condemn Taliban and Terrorist ….
But now this debate is useless becasue every one knows Imran khan Does not use his brain ,He himself is a brain washed by JI and Hameed gul .His statements shows the policy of Ziaist Mafia .
He is stupid and being used .He would realize after 10 years .
Imran is hapless and helpless and also suffers from acute memory loss: Imran Khan’s Support: Then Musharraf Now Taliban! http://chagataikhan.blogspot.com/2009/12/imran-khans-support-then-musharraf-now.html
@farhan He’s stupid and will remain stupid. There remains no question of realization in 10 years or even 20 years. So let us stop discussing nonsense.
Perhaps Imran Khan sahib could not find time to read this statement:
Taliban claim responsibility for Lahore attacks
Staff Report
PESHAWAR: The Taliban on Saturday claimed responsibility for attacks on Ahmedis’ prayer facilities in Lahore that left over 90 people dead on Friday.
“Congratulations to the whole nation on what the brave mujahideen did yesterday in Garhi Shahu and Model Town, Lahore,” Taliban spokesman Muhammad Omar said in a statement.
He said, “On the whole, we do like to encourage the nation for increasing such activities, like targeted killings of qadianis, shias, the political parties that support them, as well as law enforcement agencies, the Pakistan Army and other racist parties.”
He also warned the Muttahida Qaumi Movement of attacks, calling it a “terrorist wing of qadianis and Jews”.
“They are responsible for destruction of the country and the nation. We are encouraging assassination attacks on everyone who is with the MQM,” the Taliban statement said.

Did not mentioned or linked it with the justice at community level.
It doesnt matter what Imran Khan thinks or does. He has charisma and people will follow him till he is alive, however, he is not doing anyone any good. He is swaying the young adults of Pakistan who believe that he can do some good for them. What that “some good” will be, even Imran doesn’t know.
It is my suggestion that we avoid using words like “Stupid” in the comments.
Despite of an open admission by Taliban who have claimed the responsibility of the Lahore tragedy, the apologists fail to muster the guts to condemn Taliban openly. They will hatch yet another conspiracy which will prove the Taliban innocent and blame XYZ for all the wrongs!
Imran Khan is worse than the average Pakistani who has been taught to hate. He didn’t even learn anything after spending half his life in Europe. Why will he condemn the Taliban? They have the right to vote in Pakistan and Ahmadi’s don’t.
our media has been justfying all sorts of atrocities since long.they have been lying for years for crumbs from military apple pie.some tend to think that it is a national service but most of them know who they are.
Here is another similar statement of ‘chairman’ Imran Khan (courtesy Pak Tea House):

At the risk of being branded “Imran Khan supporter” again, one must appreciate the condemnation of Punjab Government by Tehreek-e-Insaaf vis a vis the minorities:

Previously I wasn’t convinced about YLH double character but I now don’t need another proof.
Your website was based on secular & liberal values. Tehrik e Taliban injustice is exactly opposite to these values and should be confronted rather than being offered another platefarm. This angel’s brigade has enough space on web to expand their fascism.
