Pakistan Tehreek-I-Insaf (PTI)

Introduction
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf is a political party on paper,
but it is way bigger than that. It's a dream for a
prosperous Pakistan where every man and woman has
high self-esteem and takes care of fellow citizens per the
principles of humanity. The goal of its founder Imran
Khan is to ensure Justice for all as he believes that a just
society has the best chance to succeed. At the core, PTI
just wants to make sure that we as a nation are the best
version of ourselves and make a name for us in this
world. We believe that Pakistan is a very special
country, full of natural resources and full of earnest &
intelligent people.

But unfortunately due to the corrupt leadership of the country and lack of justice, we have failed
to maximize our capability. It's our dream to see Pakistan as a self-sufficient nation who makes
its own decision prioritizing the interest of its people.

One of the initial goals of PTI was to make our Justice system independent so that all
countrymen, be it rich or poor, can get the same level of Justice. We are proud to achieve that in
Pakistan after playing the leading role in the lawyer’s movement and by constantly advocating a
system that is fair for all regardless of their social class or demographics. The other big stance of
PTI is that we need to get rid of corrupt leaders in Pakistan who have stolen from the people of
Pakistan and made enormous wealth abroad.

History
Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf was founded by Imran Khan on 25th April 1996 in Lahore, Pakistan.
Founded initially as a sociopolitical movement, in June 1996 the first central Executive
Committee of Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaaf was formed under the leadership of Imran Khan,
including Naeem ul Haq, Ahsan Rasheed, Hafeez Khan and Muwahid Hussain, Muhammad
awaan and Nausherwan Burki as a founding members. PTI began to grow slowly but not achieve
immediate popularity. Khan launched PTI as a party which he claimed represented the true
aspirations of the people of Pakistan.

PTI won its first seat during the 2002 Elections when Imran Khan won the National Assembly
seat of Mianwali. PTI boycotted the 2008 elections due to the principal stance against corruption
and in 2013, we received 7.5 million votes, second highest votes in the elections. We made the
Government in Kyhber Pakhtunkhuwa and our focus there has been on the common man. Even
our worst rivals give us credit for making Police independent to facilitate Justice for all,
revamping the public schools system which has seen 34,000+ private school kids switching to

government schools, changing the health policies to ensure we take care of the people in need,
and making a significant reduction in corruption.

The iconic moment for PTI was the mammoth Jalsa on October 30, 2011 at Minar-e-Pakistan,
where people from all demographics, especially Youth and Females showed up in huge numbers
to show Imran Khan that they are with him to fight the status quo of Pakistan. Shortly after, the
Karachi Jalsa of December 2011 confirmed that this movement has changed Pakistan forever as
the Youth of the country started to take ownership of the country and their resolve for change in
Pakistan was rock solid. This is surely a movement comparable to Jinnah's movement for
Pakistan. Imran Khan calls it the struggle for Naya Pakistan.

Promises & Oaths

Imran Khan has made six promises to Pakistan and in return he asks people to take four oaths.
The promises are as follows:
1. I will never lie to the nation.
2. Me and my government will wage a 'Jihad' against injustice in the country
3. I will keep all my wealth in Pakistan, I will not be like other leaders who rule in Pakistan
but keep their wealth abroad.
4. I will not take or allow others to take unfair benifit during PTI’s tenure in the
government.
5. I will guard the nation's tax. It will not be spent on Governor, PM and CM houses. The
PTI government will break the walls of the Governor houses.
6. We as a nation will stand with our overseas Pakistanis.
The fours oaths from Pakistanis he requests are as follows:
1. Help with eradication of Status Quo from Pakistan
2. Don't be afraid of the oppressors and fight the evil together
3. Speak truth and be faithful to Pakistan.
4. Work together to make Pakistan a prosperous and independent country

Flag of PTI
The flag of PTI is consisted of two colors red and
green. The red represents the revolution while the
green has been taken from the nation flag; same with
the case as a crescent and a star. On other side, the
white color represents the minorities as symbolized by
Pakistani flag itself.

Motto:
Justice, Humanity and Self Esteem.
