Core Team
PTI UK has a flat structure where everyone is a volunteer and reports into UK Coordinator, Rabia Zia. Rabia is assisted by a core team of five dedicated members who help run day to day affairs of PTI in the UK. Below is the brief introduction to the current Core Team members:
Asim Khan
Profession: Poet, Writer, Technologist and Farmer
Current role in PTI UK: My role requires bringing in diverse PTI representatives from different walks of life on one platform; membership, awareness, fundraising with the UK coordinator, and providing input into process, policies, and all those activities that requires within PTI to have an appropriate political process, thought and organisation
Why PTI? What attaracted me to PTI was the belief that PTI can bring a change at all levels within the society and inspiration from Imran Khan, PTI chairman. I also believe that we all as a team and as one nation can bring Pakistan into modern, welfare state,and as a proud nation rather than always being in apologetic mode to the world and to its people.

Profession: Banker - Corporate Finance
Current role in PTI UK: Membership & Accounts
Why PTI?
I believe in the vision of a sovereign, fair & a progressive Pakistan which is underpinned by the rule of law- an independent judiciary for all classes of individuals. I believe that as a Pakistani I have every right to expect this from my native country. I also strongly believe that only Imran Khan will deliver my vision, therefore I support & promote PTI.
Imran Aslam
Academics: Bsc Information Systems
Profession: Network design manager
Current role in PTI UK: Events management, Web admin and communication
Why PTI? I joined PTI a few years ago, from UK. As overseas Pakistanis in the UK we can do a lot for Pakistan. The most important thing for me is an independent judiciary without that we as a nation will never progress. I urge everyone to join PTI UK and help us to lobby where ever we can for this noble cause.
One day Inshallah PTI will be the largest party in Pakistan.

Profession: Banker, Citigroup London
Current role in PTI UK: Responsible for events organisation and membership drive.
Why PTI? My main motivation to join PTI is to ensure I did a bit for my country that needs strong institutions and a party that wants to invest in our people to provide opportunities for the nation to achieve the vision of its founding fathers. Pakistan has the potential to become a truly great nation and PTI will give it the focus to achieve this.
Tariq Khan
Academics: MBA & Mphil, Judge Business School, Cambridge University
Profession: Investment Banking, JP Morgan, London
Current role in PTI UK: Core Team admin; web admin; membership drive; events
Why PTI? You will lose count if I asked you how many times during the past year or so political leaders have told Paks that they did what they did for the sake of Pakistan. Whether it’s Musharraf trying to justify his slaughtering of his own people, or it’s Zardari’s unholy attempt to commit treason against Judiciary, they all do it for the ‘sake of Pakistan’.
Every time I heard yet another politician chanting these magic words, I would think to myself that this was so blatantly untrue, it was uncanny. So my quest for a politician who for once DID NOT do something for the sake of Pakistan started. It finished when I found out that Imran Khan and PTI had rejected, not once but twice, Musharraf’s offer to become his (puppet) Prime Minister and part of his King’s party. This was the icebreaker and after this the more I found out about things PTI did not do for Pakistan the more convinced I became that this is the party that can actually do something for Pakistan.
PTI’s politics is based on honesty and integrity. People have called Imran Khan many things but no one has ever accused him of being dishonest. Honesty does not have speed but it certainly has endurance and if God places burden on people based on their endurance, which He does, I have no doubt that when the time comes for PTI to carry the privilege of steering our beloved country we would have backs of steel to carry it.
I joined PTI because PTI on every occasion has chosen harder right over easier wrong. For PTI failure is not, not winning a lot of seat in parliament but for it failure is any deviation from its integrity. Perseverance is a cornerstone of PTI and its demands its workers to show high standards of morality, humility and sense of purpose. It is for this reason I think future belongs to PTI and I invite you to come be a part of this future.
