Veena Malik set to jump on to PTI bandwagonBy Ghulam Hussain
LAHORE: After the announcement of entering into politics by Veena Malik, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has started planning of her formal appearances at its upcoming rallies to attract the youths, sources inside the PTI revealed.
As the PTI claims to be a party of youths, it would be a good omen that Veena's joining the party would attract more and more youths to it.
Veena Malik has the skills to remain alive in the media, whether she has films in her hands or not, whether she was in India or in Pakistan, she always got attention of the media. It is possible the actress will be seen performing at the PTI's public gatherings in future.
Indian actor Raza Murad had also launched a campaign a year ago for the release of Indian terrorist Sarabjeet Singh, also known as Jaljit Singh, an Indian citizen, who was a convicted terrorist and jailed in Pakistan. He was convicted for his involvement in 1990 serial bombing. Raza Murad had also sought the help of Veena Malik to accompany them for the release of Sarabjeet Singh. Veena Malik was the actress who created turmoil for her nude photo shoot for an Indian magazine, FHM. Then her controversial appearance in Bigg Boss with Indian actor Ashmit Patel also created turmoil in India and Pakistan and attracted-attention of millions of people all over the world.
Now scandals afflicted and controversial actress Veena Malik may appear and perform at public gatherings of the PTI as well. It would be definite that Veena’s performances would also create a big turmoil in PTI’s rallies.
She will get more chance to show her talent and potential on stage of the PTI’s upcoming rallies after performing on Pakistani and Indian screens.
The blatant ISI references in her controversial shoot were also a publicity stunt owned by Veena Malik herself, even in a bikini with a grenade in her mouth, the photoshoot was bound to cause uproar across India and Pakistan.
Imran Khan's party always prefers to arrange musical bands for its massive public gatherings, which attract more youths. If Veena Malik will get a chance to perform during the PTI rallies, it is likely that her performances may persuade youths to join the party and attend public gatherings in a large number.
Until now nobody can say whether PTI would come into power or not after the general elections, but one thing was sure that the youths will definitely enjoy the performances of Veena Malik at PTI musical public gatherings.
When asked Dr Shireen Mazari, the foreign policy head of the PTI, if Veena Malik was joining the PTI, she replied that she did not know anything about it. She also said that PTI Central Information Secretary Shafqat Mehmood will know better whether Veena had joined the PTI or not. Dr Shireen Mazari also said in a lighter tone that “if you have the knowledge about Veena's joining of the PTI, then tell me also.”
