Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf
Javed Hashmi joined Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf on December 24, 2011 saying that he has made no deal with Imran Khan and has become a member because Imran Khan has an agenda of a change, but analysts say that various reasons caused this act, like Nawaz Sharif refused to make Hashmi the leader of opposition, refused to let Hashmi run for President as Nawaz did not want the PML(Q)'s vote for Hashmi and the PML(N) did not give Hashmi's son-in-law, Zahid Hashmi a ticket for the elections. While addressing a mega political rally at the tomb of Quaid-e-Azam in Karachi on December 25, 2011 He said, "The youth of today have to move forward,Karachi is mini Pakistan. It represents all shades of the peoples of Pakistan." Quoting Quaid-e-Azam he said, "Minorities are our blood." Hashmi straight forwardly addressed to PTI Chairman Imran Khan, "Yes, I'm a rebel (Baghi); you invited a rebel to join PTI, Now if you have not delivered as per your manifesto I will be first person to rebel against your Party”
Javed Hashmi said that he joined Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf only for the sake of Pakistan and not for Imran khan. He later added that he would leave the party if PTI failed to deliver the nation after coming into the power.
he has been warmly welcomed in Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf not only by Imran himself but also by all of the supporters. He is the first person in PTI whose addition in PTI have not been criticised by a single member.
Hashmi and his daughter Memoona Hashmi resigned from National assembly of Pakistan on December 29, 2011.
