msyedth,
To understand the kind of support PTI is getting, you have to watch the video I linked. PPP had never enjoyed such support among Pakistanis. It is run on black money or money from waderas and jageerdars who have joined the party (who spend money on their jalsas). That's why these parties are hijacked by vested interests.
PTI is the most popular party among foreign Pakistanis. PTI website has complete record of finaical support from its supporters. Recent funding events arranged by PTI are DOCUMENTED and they have generated huge funds for PTI.
It's shouldn't be as difficult to you since you admit the public gives huge amounts for charity work by IK. Now they are realizing the importance of PTI and putting their funds in it.
Why now? Not now. PTI has track record of paying members going back years. However, you cannot be ignorant of the political events of the last year. PTI dharnas in Peshawar, the Raymond Devis episode and IK public compaigns in the form of Jalsas have increased the popularity of PTI. This has a snowball effect - as the media gives more coverage to PTI, the support for PTI further increases, generating more media coverage and in turn more support!
You have some misunderstanding about the spending on the jalsas. PTI doesn't spend money on having labourers and poor people participiate in the rally as done by PPP and PMLN. There are no "keemay wale naans" as well. So take this "expense" off the table. The spending is on tangibles required for the jalsas, and it is well explained by funds received by PTI from its supporters.
Secondly, you have no evidence to say that ISI is funding PTI. Taking funding from ISI is called corruption and you know very well that IK is one of the few politicians who is known for his honesty and financial credibility. Also Ik is repeatedly raising the issue of Asghar Khan's petition to be heard which is about ISI funding.
Don't act like a loser and rely on lies.
