(Pak Destiny) Another big U-Turn of Prime Minister Imran Khan after coming to power. Khan ditched party loyalist Waleed Iqbal, grandson of poet of east Allama Muhammad Iqbal despite promising of awarding NA-131 by-poll ticket. Instead he obliged business tycoon Humayun Akhtar Khan. What a shame and another meek surrender to the wealthy. NA-131 is vacated by Imran Khan.

When Imran Khan was campaigning in NA-131 for July 25 polls he promised Waleed before media that he would be his candidate in the by-poll. What a shame that he again backtracked from his words. How many times he will do this he should be ashamed of himself for obliging a former PML-N leader. Khan has shamelessly ditched his old party guards at the cost of of the wealthy.

Started his politics with PML-N, Humayun Akhtar remained federal minister during the Musharraf regime, Humayun hardly stands any chances against Saad Rafique as this constituency is the PML-N stronghold. — Pak Destiny
As Mansoor Ali Khan says Change of Strategy.
Waleed Iqbal k sth zaydti Hoi ha. Ticket usi ko Milna chaye
Shahid Saleem Bhai u know I am supporting Hamyun Akhtar instead of Waleed Iqbal.
It is not U turn. May be H. A better then Waleed Iqbal. Politics not a Hard line. It is Change any time , any place.
Main thing Achieve the target.
Imran won the tough seat due to Humayon Akhtar, most of the party workers new already he will contest, Waleed Iqbal was just a last moment cover up, surely we can’t lose this important seat, since Pak politics will take time to dust down, Waleed can contest any better time for sure. Secondly n importantly if he some how loses its not a seat to be lost its a total ideology to be lost so ppl chear up its not a uturn its winning strategy.
