Shrif's Governments trying its best that people shall consider Zardari government was better than theirs

The right to protest is a basic right in all civilised societies except in the dictionary of the ruling classes in Pakistan

The right to protest is a basic right in all civilized societies except in the dictionary of the ruling classes in Pakistan.

Tahir ul Qadri is right on about the issues the country is facing...however...sorry to say...he is not the solution...more so part of the problem...on one hand he tells western and urban Pakistani audience that "Revolution" he is seeking will be purely modern westernised democratic solution...and on the other hand to the rural and religious audience his message is that it is "Islamic Revolution"...man you can't be "Teetar" and "Batair" at the same time...just deliberately confusing already confused people...outcome could be catstrophic...I rest my case...

Qadri steps in Khomeni's shoes not fited here in Pakistan because of different environment and circumstances. He should maintain his status as it is and not try other world leaders who demonstrated for beyond his imaginations. Hope he will soon cool down and restart his religious activities.

Qadri is an oppurtunistic hate mongrerr but regardless Nawaz Sharif has proven again and again that their is not an ounce of democratic belive in him. He came through dictatorship how can he ever change his mindset

How they are talking about democracy derailing , is it a democracy to block road and people from protest which is their democratic right.

That is it. If Pakistan is to be saved them Nawaz Sharif should resign and recall fresh free and fair elections. Nawas has lost his mandate as people of Pakistan are on the streets. Before things get out of control even from the hands of Imran and Qadri, Army must intercept and request PM to resign. This is the only way to save democracy. If Nawaz is the true elected leader then people of Pakistan will re elect him but the elections shoudl be held free and fair under the supervision of Pak Army.

The ruling junta is on the run and abusing all the State power machinery to perpetuate the misrule and their mission of loot & plunder. Professor Tahir Ul Qadri must stay steadfast the demigods are about to be destroyed. The thugs are gasping for air, just keep the grip on their throats a little harder until they finally collapse. All who care and with slightest sense of justice and right of the people must come forward and support, the dispossessed and marginalized citizens (65% of Pakistanis struggling below the poverty line without 2 square meals a day!) here are looking for solidarity even now but it seems their patience is over and they are doing what must be done for their liberation.

I'm not a supporter of Dr Qadri but one has to ask this question "why did the police kill 14 unarmed supporters of PAT?" The reason given was that we wanted to remove barriers. If that was the reason they should have removed barriers from some other roads in the same Model Town. Had they done that then they would have had some moral grounds to do the same at PAT headquarters. If barriers were the problem then why put up barriers now to seal all of Model Town? This government has lost the argument and are now busy telling people that no one should derail democracy. Unfortunately, none of their actions so far have been democratic and people are ready to bury their democratic system let alone derail it.

Hope NS and his cronies learn something this time.

This government is history. Wider public opinion is turning against them.

I agree that there is no 'Rule of Law' in Pakistan. But if you submit to Tahirul Qadri, then there will be no end to this sort of blackmailing in future.

One is bring Inqilaab & other is bring independence. What people need is continuation of democracy.

@Tanvir Afgan Not right to destroy the country and its Government.

Please someone educate me and many others. Did TAQ work in the Model Town Mosque, built and funded by Sharif family? Was he removed from there under some cloud? Is this all about some personal vendetta?

This is a DISTRACTION from our on going war. The Nation should be supporting the Army and looking for the enemies within Pakistan. No one should challenge the Law. Qadri is doing that. Peaceful protests are allowed not violent. Police has every right to Fire back if Fired upon. Wake up Pakistan get your Priorities Correct for once.

PTI new hero TUQ

TUQ should not come out of jail after all the fasad

Shares government is the most barbaric and tyrant they are true son of Zia ul haq they have already lost the moral authority to rule country

roads and highway are usually blocked by protesters,put in Punjab govt. is blocking..those who are giving foolish advising are not friends of PML-N

I have known mr Qadiri since1975 . He is the biggest fraud and a confused person. Our public is very uneducated in Islam. Instead of learning Islam by reading and following Quran and Sunnah , they follow these leaders , who know how to use Pakistani people for third benefits

@NadeemKhan either you seems to be ignorant or too biased soon your favourite shareefs will be in jail

Inshallah Govt of Pakistan will be the winner and both these fasaadies will in exile again.

Sorry government but the right to VIOLENCE is the most constitutional and democratic right of PAT worker?

PMLN by putting containers and all is just showing that how weak they are, totally opposite of what their mandate says.

@bukhari.m TQ is a fasadi and should be sent to jail.

Hence proved Sharifs are worse than Dictators

@Capt C M Khan people like u make me a proud pakistani thank u captain saab

@Tanvir Afgan It is a sign of an irresponsible individual that he talks about his "rights" and not about his "responsibilities". One may say that (even if he has chosen to become a foreigh citizen), Qadri has a right to demonstrate. But this right has to be exercised in a responsible manner. Qadri's speeches are designed to promote violent confrontation with the police, and he has no right to do that. The police therefore has the right to treat him and his followers as ordinary criminals promoting violence and to respond to them as they would in any violent confrontation.

90% of the police force needs to be relieved and put under trial. They are terrorists with uniform on.

Though I despise TuQ, Nawaz Sharif has proven yet again that he truly is the worst dictator, Gen. Zia's son in real terms. He has learned all the policies of brutal oppression, suppression of free speech and the democratic right of anyone to protest from Zia. He needs to go - once and for all. And no exile to one of his palaces in Jeddah or London this time. Exile for him and his brother in Attock fort for at least 30 years!

Shall we bet on what happens next after ACT II? ACT II - IK is yet to follow. Will the Sharifs and cohorts run away to Saudi Arabia again, hand over power to the military, or concede to a new election under reformed election commission?

NS gone Dubai ?

women crawling under container deserves a gold medal

For GOD sake, move on and let this govt. work. PAT and PTI are trying to destroy this country. But it will never happen because the nation understands their motives. "TRY TO RESOLVE ALL ISSUES ON THE TABLE " as a civilized nation. DO NOT MAKE A TAMASHA, the whole world is watching you

@Tanvir Afgan The right to a PEACEFUL protest is a basic right in democratic countries. But, the picture turns ugly over here. Although I am not a member of the PTI but, they have given examples of peaceful protests.

@A. J. KHAN PTI started the 'Tamasha' after running from pillar to post for one full year. Finally it has resorted to its constitutional right of street processions. Now the threat of this 'TAMSHA' seems to be working a bit; here come the half hearted offers of negotiations from an untrustworthy and brutal regime. A regime, that is master of 'not talking so straight'. A regime that rigged the elections to the hilt.

Meanwhile Geo's payback time to Govt. Constant biased reporting from last 3 days. Shame

Sharif has lost the mandate he never had... time to resign, retire in exile in peace. So far he's miscalculating it badly.

Qadri, Bhag as fast as you can otherwise,you will have to take your dinners in jail.

Never thought that fascism would come to Pakistan in the garb of the Sharif brothers.

PPP as well as Musharraf Govts were far better than the current one. It has done nothing whatsoever for the people.

Can any one ask TUQ that why his sons and daughter is out of pakistan..? Same question to IK ..?

@Yasser Masood Ik should ask kpk hovt to resign first

I have been following the events in Pakistan very closely. I find Nawaz Sharif's government at the worst dictatorship government of Pakistan ever. He is following the footsteps of his mentor, General Zia ul Haq. His government is most corrupt, family based and extremely fascist. I am not a supporter of PAT but I believe that the people of Pakistan should strongly support the democratic forces and bring about a change in the political culture of the country. We need to capitalize on this opportunity to bring the family politics and feudal culture to an end in Pakistan. Therefore, we should strengthen the hands of all those who are calling for a change.

@Abid With due respect do you know how many U-TURNS PTI took. All the times PTI make statements without any thought process. Because of your poor performance in KPK, you are trying to divert the attention of the people to so called " RIGGING" The fact of the matter is that PTI filed for 57 seats against rigging, so for you got the verdict on 37 and not a single decision was in your favor. So, please stop crying like a wolf and do some thing for KPK where you are in charge. BY the way, Sheikh Rasheed, Pervez Elahi and Ch. Shujaat are dead beats and product of Pervez Musharif and have no Creditability. They will destroy PTI and IK if you listen to them.

WE the PAKISTANIS are SO Stupid to pick such incompetent leaders. We shouldn't blame these nincompoops for there incompetence but blame ourselves. Who put them there? We did of course. So now we suffer collectively.

Reminds me of Jim Jones and his 'Cool Aid" party in Guyiana.

Just look at the PICTURE. To these peoples, crawling under the Containers, QADRI gives them hope. Existing system must END. Enough is Enough.

"Peaceful" is as much or may be more important than any other word in the sentence "Right to Protest..." we learned to use so often. Responsibilities come before the rights.

can someone tell me easy was to apply for immigration

Revolution march and Azadi March. I wonder what government is going to do. Departure March? LOL

This is a typical reaction from "Safarshi" people...when they can not justify their stance, they resort to aggression and violence. The GOP(akistan) and GOP(unjab) show their underlying nature of intolerance, overreaction to every situation due to their inability to accept others and their deeds....

Can it be any more clear that PTI and TUQ are allies working for the same goal with the same hidden force backing them both.

Pervez Musharaff has asked his followers to join long march ??Qadri and Imran Khan and Musharaff will bring a great change.

No doubt Qadri ,Imran khan & Q league leaders are responsible for the present unrest but Muslim league N leadership has also failed to deal with the situation in a sensible way.It is pity that both brothers have bad shortsighted advisors and probably are surrounded by yes men.They could have easily defused the situation by employing superior political strategy and diverting public into holding anti Israel rallies as well as arranging Awami melas in advance of 14august, instead of using strong arm tactics.

Whatever the political disagreements between PTI and MLN, Qadri is no political player. He is just exploiting the situation and is nothing more than a pressure group. He will destroy Imran and will cause army's take over. Imran and Nawaz need to act to save the country from martial law. If the martial law comes, it will stay for an other 10 years and will finish off whatever is left in this country. Nawaz needs to accept Imran's demands and promise him a free and fair election in 2015. The provincial governments should stay intact and the new national assembly should only be chosen for the remaing time of present tenure. Unfortunately, I am seeing a new martial law coming.

@Ameed :WE the PAKISTANIS are SO Stupid to pick such incompetent leaders." Pakistanis picking their own leaders??? Since when did that started to happen!

Qadri and PTI are turning the country into another Somalia with no functional government. This will give the excuse to USA and other western countries to dismantle our nuclear program and take away the nuclear arms. Once the nuclear deterrent is removed, India will find an excuse to take over the country to eliminate the terrorist organizations working in Kashmir. Mr. Qadri and PTI are playing with fire and creating chaos and lawlessness in the country. They accuse the government of wide spread unemployment and power shortages. They are inciting the illiterate people to believe that its the government fault and the ignorant people truly believe it. Now all the prominent economists say that it will take years to tackle these problems and there is no quick fix. Now I ask the Qadri supporters what their plans are after NS government is gone and how they will fix the power shortages and the unemployment problem. How the country will attract foreign investments when there is lawlessness in the country. Next fight will be between PAT and PTI, just wait.

I am neither in favor or against the march. I don't even know whether it should be done or not. There is one thing I clearly know, that we don't need any Indian commentators to comment on this topic because they know, we can our self destroy Pakistan better than anybody else. Good job folks and best of luck. Great timing. Kill each other and suck others blood. We are all hungry and thirsty. We all need this right. What an astronomical ego and hypocracy.

Shareef's monarchy must end NOW! My support to Imran Khan and Qadri!!

A special PIA should be requisitioned to go to Canada via SA and UK carrying three passengers namely Qadri and Imran Khan, Nawaz Sharif. Peace will return to Pakistan with military taking over the country.

Sharif brothers should heed the voice of the people. They have lost whatever mandate they had. Masses are no more with them.

@Dr Khan: You are right. Musharraf, Imran and TQ should join hands to make this movement successful. But they all have ego problem and cannot work together. If it was presidential form of government, I would say Musharraf be president, Imran Vice President, and TQ secretary of interior.

Qadri is really irritating.

There is dual behavior of people; for western democracy they want to do jihad by supporting qadri sahab but for Islamic system they are against Taliban.

This news I was waiting for. Both of these parties are desperate to come in power. These parties have successfully created the mess for their own vested interest. And they are not alone but all the anti Nawaz political elements are fabricating this so called revolution. This is the time that sanity should prevail. If this govt is overthrown, you will see no stable political govt in future. If Imran And Qadri gather a mob of hundred of thousand of disarrayed people then PLMN can gather many times of that.

The cat has finally bounced out of the bag, everybody doubted that this is bound to happen; the covert forces have been toiling to engineer the script of this blood-stained saga of PTI and PAT. The slogans of change shall convert as the chirping of birds, now the situation that might emerge on 14th August, 2014, as the mind-boggling for every patriotic resident of Pakistan. It seems that the PPP and MQM may have the final laughter.

It seems things are getting out of hand. Military should not step in but must safeguard and ensure there will be no damage to any thing. Let Imran and Qadri show their political mussels. Government should not be thrown out by force-if we took this path that will be a very dangerous precedence. Lets have recount or have a mid term election . All political parties including PPP should show maturity for the well being of the country. Don't let it to be circus

Yah, revolution in a teacup!

WOW!!! I can't believe Pakistan is cursed with not one but two (Imran and Qadri) hot air egomaniacs who offer no solutions to the problems of the country except than toppling the present democratically elected Government, no matter how incompetent. These, two, Imran and Qadri, do not understand the basics of Democracy. Democracy to them is what they define it to be and is only True Democracy if and only if they are in power. Seems like that is how the Taliban, Al Qaeda and ISIS define Islam....their version only or you will be eliminated. Thank God, the difference is that Imran and Qadri will eliminate you politically. I guess you can be grateful for small mercies. I DO NOT ENVY YOU, PAKISTAN. MY SYMPATHIES.

@M J Syed This is news to me.

someone had to stand against pmln's tyranny

SIR, It is understandable, peoples have the right to protest , But both sides should show civility and dignity. And should not create any problem for the peoples of pakistan. M.Mirza montreal

And the walk is going to be in Rexdale, On Canada? He is being encouraged by foreigners.

@M.MIRZA I think problems in Punjab, road blockades no gas etc are intentional To irritate and annoy the common people. So NS and his brother can blame it on IK. OR they think they own it including lives of every one living in it( I mean Punjab). As I don't think anyone out of Punjab gives a rat about them.

While all this is going on, Bilawal Zaradri is where??????

Hey You Politicians, Can you please reduce the burden and stress on common citizens of my country. They have to craw through these containers to go for work and for ordinary chores. It is heart Wrenching. As police is not letting them through the normal gates. Please for God sake consider them "Human"
