APROPOS the letter “Imran’s stance” (April 29). The writer has praised Imran Khan’s act as a politicaly bold gesture and an exceptional feat of courage.

Without any shadow of doubt the sale and purchase of vote is an extremely shameful act, but Mr Khan as party head, should have been aware of the conduct and character of poeple whom he had earlier awarded party tickets for the coming election.

Nearly half of his party’s leaders are accused of ‘horse-trading’ not by opponents, but by the PTI chairman himself.

Who could assure about their credibility?

People who have courage to cheat even their party heads would also betray the mandate of the poeple who vote for them.

If Imran knew his colleagues involved in shameful tactic of horse trading, why he didn’t pre-empt their move by exposing them before the masses.
