Filtering process in PTI

In my humble opinion what PTI need to do is to get rid of the Trojan Horses and the infiltra(i)tors. Some will get lost now during the stand of at Azadi Square and some of them will stay behind and run havoc at a later stage. 

PTI is a democratic party and office holders cannot be excluded unless they commit something illegal/unconstitutional or they are voted out in intra-party elections.

Those who stay behind need to be sent packing through intra-party elections. The first intra-party elections were not according to democratic standards. There were loads of irregularities and difficulties to conduct the elections. We need to look at the Tasneem/Noorani report -  which is made by PTI itself – to conduct the next intra-party elections in a better way. The intra-party elections should be conducted at the earliest possible after the protest in Islamabad.

What PTI need to do is to introduce paid membership. By doing so PTI will be able to filter out those planted elements who deliberately vote for the wrong people. A side effect which is not to be ignored either is; the party will get funds from multiple sources. PTI will depend on a few rich and influential figures on far lesser extent than the case is today. The major part of the funds will come from ordinary members in Pakistan as well as overseas chapters. 

By introducing paid membership in Pakistan then PTI will lose many "members", but PTI should not worry about that. Fewer and more dedicated members will be a force for the party. The elections process will also be doable exercise for PTI. PTI must not try to make a world record by having most members. It's far more important to have genuine & dedicated members, who aim high for the justice party. It's worth to note that we should not have illusions about future cheating. By having paid membership we will not completely eliminate the possibility of cheating, but cheating will be reduced significantly and never be nearby the level of cheating witnessed at the first intra-party elections.

Last but not least the overseas members MUST be given voting rights too and they must also be given a representation in PTI's CEC. It’s a pity that members with a high potential value for PTI is kept out in darkness and only used as a source of income for PTI.
