Initial growth of PTI was very slow. PTI participated in the general election of 1997 but count not achieved any success. Pakistani people refused the Imran Khan generally saying he is a member of Jews lobby. Imran Khan had married with Jemima and Jemima is the daughter of Mr. Smith who is Jews. So Imran’s marriage with Jemima drew a doubtful red line in the mind of common Pakistani, as the result PTI has to face problem. But gradually Imran Khan continued his efforts and began a grassroots level campaign to raise awareness about his political party and his ideology. He started to highlight his ideology, and continued a campaign against corruption and against anti-state elements. Especially he raised his voice against “Drones Attack” by USA in tribal areas of Pakistan. Imran Khan’s such type struggles mobilized the youth and got popularity in young generation.
