Imran Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) secures a definitive legal victory as the High Court overrules the Election Commission’s attempts to strip the party's registration. High court completely dismissed the EC's reasoning and ordered the immediate restoration of PTI's iconic 'bat' election symbol for the upcoming PoK polls.


Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf Wins Legal Battle; Secures 'Bat' as Election Symbol

Pakistan's ruling party stands&nbsp;divided with PM Imran Khan trying to keep his flock together but the wickets have been falling like a pack of cards.

On Tuesday, Jahangir Tareen, an estranged leader of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf(PTI) hosted a dinner for his supporters. It was reportedly held at Jahangir Tareen's residence in Islamabad and a total of 31 PTI lawmakers were present at the dinner.

On the menu was a plan to launch a group of "like-minded lawmakers" both in the lower house of Pakistan's parliament and the Punjab provincial assembly.

Jahangir Tareen is one of the wealthiest politicians in Pakistan. He has assets worth 80 billion Pakistani rupees that's around $500 million. He also owns thousands of acres of farmland and some of the largest sugar mills in Pakistan.

He also lends a few private planes to PTI leaders for travel and in 2017 he was the highest taxpayer in Pakistan. He paid a total of 9 crore rupees in tax which is approximately $600,000 three years ago.

However, Jahangir Tareen has been fighting a corruption case. In March, Tareen and his son Ali Tareen were booked for fraud and money laundering.

Tareen senior was accused of using his position for his family's benefit which is the story of pretty much every politician in Pakistan.

However, Jahangir Tareen has vehemently denied all accusations. He says the charges are fabricated and is nothing but a witchhunt. 
Tareen claims he is being targeted because of the kind of wealth he has and the unmatched influence he enjoys in the party.

Now, the party officially stands divided. The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf along with its allies holds 177 out of 342 seats in the federal assembly and 181 out of 369 seats in the Punjab provincial assembly.

It is a very thin majority in both places almost near the halfway mark and Jahangir Tareen claims to have the support of at least 31 lawmakers in both assemblies, if the lawmakers confirm their support then the federal assembly and the Punjab assembly could both head for snap polls.

Also, Pakistan's budget session is around the corner and the PTI will need the support of all its lawmakers to pass the budget. It's a dire state of affairs.

The PTI has launched a campaign to stop its lawmakers from breaking away and like most campaigns it is running on Twitter called #behind you skipper

Several party leaders have been putting out tweets to&nbsp;express their support. PM Imran Khan says he is ready to listen with an open mind but maintains that no one will escape accountability.

In an unusual move, Pakistan's ruling party on Monday tweeted in chaste Hindi Prime Minister Imran Khan's statement that the person who solves the Kashmir issue will be worthy of the Nobel Peace Prize.

"Main Nobel Shanti Puraskaar Ke Yogya Nahi Hun. Is(ka) Yogya Vyakti Vah Hoga Jo Kashmiri Logo Ki Iccha Ke Anusar Kashmir Vivaad Ka Samadhaan Karta Hai aur Upmahadweep Main Shanti aur Manav Vikash Ka Marg Prashasth Karta Hai," the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf pary tweeted quoting Khan.

(I am not worthy of the Nobel Peace prize. The person worthy of this would be the one who solves the Kashmir dispute according to the wishes of the Kashmiri people and paves the way for peace and human development in the subcontinent.)

On March 2, a resolution was submitted in Pakistan's National Assembly Secretariat stating that Khan's decision of releasing Indian Air Force pilot Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman has de-escalated the hostility between Pakistan and India. According to the resolution, Khan "acted responsibly" in the current tension and "deserves the Nobel Peace Prize".

Tensions between India and Pakistan flared up after a suicide bomber of Pakistan-based terror group Jaish-e-Mohammad killed 40 CRPF personnel in Kashmir on February 14.

After the attack, the Indian Air Force carried out a counter-terror operation, hitting what it said was a JeM training camp in Balakot, deep inside Pakistan on February 26. The next day, Pakistan retaliated with a large air formation, comprising 24 fighter jets, including F-16s, and captured Varthaman.&nbsp;

Imran Khan's party Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf tweets in Hindi

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf followers have been mocking cricketer-turned-politician Imran Khan&#39;s second wife Reham Khan after she tweeted a picture of the PTI chief&#39;s new wife Bushra Maneka covering herself from head to toe along with a picture of modest Burqa.

The former wife of the politician, who recently tied the knot for the third time, said Maneka was wearing a political burqa.

The anchor&#39;s tweet put her in trouble as followers of Imran Khan dissed her in the worst possible way, insulting, bashing and even abusing Reham Khan.

She said Imran Khan was going from &quot;Soho to Sufism&quot; and that the pictures of Khan&#39;s new wedding were &quot;political suicide&quot;.

&quot;I have all the respect for women who observe hijab for personal reasons. I object to right-wing vote pick up efforts,&quot; Reham Khan tweeted.

Some said she was a &quot;jealous&quot; woman and that she came up with &quot;utter rubbish&quot; as she did not have a valid point.

&quot;Fighters of Islam should first and foremost watch out the words they utter,&quot; a Twitter user said.

Khan last month secretly married his spiritual mentor Bushra Maneka, a divorcee, amid the media frenzy over his third marriage.

Khan&#39;s first marriage with Jemima Goldsmith lasted for nine years, while his innings with Reham Khan lasted merely 10 months.
