Shame on these sleeping Azadi Marchers!

You guys are fighting this country's decisive war, against monarchy. March on, the nation stands with you!!

Go IK! Though I am not sure whether to support the action of the long march but I believe in IKs honesty and his intentions for Pakistan. May he succeed along with my people and my country.

Imran Khan missed a trick. He should have started mobilizing at least a day in advance and should have made it to the Capital by mid day 14th August to really make a point. Now they will be lucky to make it by the 17th.

Independence we got, progress we need. In china/Iran no facebook, limited google search, no marches/protests, even big corruption, is there USA controlling? TUK and IK are backdoor of controlling states of poor state like Pak? Have we forgot Quaid quote"Unity Faith Discipline" ? Whole team of IK belong to old corrupt parties other than IK. Under IK flag, nation will suffer more crisis, change will never come. This is ground-fact in fact.

Pakistan became Azad (Free) on August 14, 1947 that is 67 years ago. If the Azadi March is to celebrate that great day, then it is most wonderful. On the other hand if the Azadi March is to achieve Azadi (Freedom) it means Pakistan never became Azad (Free) on August 14. 1947 and there is no Azadi Celebration. This is an insult to the founder of Pakistan Mohammad Ali Jinnah and all 180 million Pakistanis. The actions of Mr. Imran Khan and Maulana Tahirul Qadri, the organizers of Azadi March are grave concern to all Pakistanis.

We owe a debt of gratitude to IK and TUQ for presenting the true face of Pakistan's sleazy politicians by ruining the Indepedence Day celebrations, and making us realize that we are still slaves - to the insatiablegreed of the political opportunists, the kind that is aplenty in the Land of the Pure ! I guess we deserve no better!!

They are sleeping simply because Imran Khan is very much awake. Incidentally I was Business and Manpower Advisor, Pakistan Embassy when under the guidance of our Ambassador H. E. Karamatullah Khan GhoriI had been very much instrumental in raising funds for Shaukat Khanum Cancer Hospital when Imran came here in 1992. I, as his local PRO have accompanied him to the residence of incumbent H.H. Sheikh Sabah Al Ahmad Al Sabah, Amir of Kuwait (Foreign Minister then) who hosted lunch in his honor.

Pakistan day won yesterday's march...Pakistan Zindabad!!!

While poor ordinary ignorant marchers are sleeping out in the open...braving heat and hunger...wonder where the PTI and PAT leadership and their family members are resting and how are they satisfying their hunger...

I have few questions from Khan and I request my PTI friends to answer these: 1) PTI MNAs and MPAs must return salaries for past 14 months before they ask to disolve assemblies. Do you agree? 2) IK, Please tell us the outcome of NA-110, it is one of 4 constituencies you have been complaining all year along. (It was Khawaja asif vs Dar, Tribunal has declared Khawaja asif winner and fined Dar for using delay tactics). 3) If the elections were rigged, Why PTI filed just 58 petitions out of 268. They also must tell us that 38 of 58 petitions have been resolved & not a single PTI NA seat has increased. 4) Lastly, if the govt was illegitimate, Why PTI wasted our 14 months and remained part of it?

The longer it takes to reach Islamabad, the longer our systems will be collapsed. Imran Khan claimed that our economy is bad and government is lying about its progress. And from last week to now and not sure upto when, most trades are off in Islamabad and Rawalpindi. Our business are closed, our economy is getting bad and bad.

True implementation of law inside and outside the parliaments could stop these processions. But this will not suit to people who control the governance of the country

With the huge amount of support for PTI that is evident on the roads, I think the pressure is growing stronger and stronger on the PM to resign. Though, in the short run the businesses may be impacted but it is in the greater good of the country that an educated bunch of people get to form a new government legally.

System is ready collapsed by corrupt leaders. Any one with working brain knows it, It is going to be fixed now insha ALLAH. Sooner the corrupt goes out of power sooner poor Pakistani will see the change in their life, Public money that has been spent on PLMN corrupt MNAs and shareef khaandan will be spend on deserving people of Pakistan. It is a relief march for people of Pakistan from corrupt leaders, Keep on marching Imran until these corrupt are booked and thrown behind bars

@Asif Raza Guess who has shut down the capital city a week before the march.....also the whole Punjab as a pre-emptive measure. Instead they should have welcomed the protesters to demonstrate. I don't see any violence in the Paki crowds other then just the puppets planted by the Indians and the sher league.

@Asif Raza to change any thing, it takes system and time even if you through the ball to ground it goes down all the way till it bonces back, be patient my friend and keep fingers crossed , inshallah thing will change , think the other way around at least we have someone in PAK who is thinking behalf of all PAKISTAN

IK+TUQ= Pakistan of 2015 as dreamt and planned by western think tanks decades ago.

What so ever it is this is a FACT AND THAT IS IMRAN AND PTI ARE NOW HISTORY, as no one like dictator imran, imran is in the middle of no where. Now PTIians who are actually PPP supporters who left PPP after BB death will go back to PPP after the end of flop drama of imran.

I really like Imran for his honesty but am really struggling to understand what is the point of this march? How will this achieve the much claimed Freedom ? - If anyone on this forum do get his point can you please explain ?

Who is answerable to a normal citizen for choking his daily life. What about my rights and my Azadi to run my daily life unhindered. All politicians have vast vested interest and they are hoodwinking their followers by creating hype about issues, charming slogans and above all using religion as a tool of brainwashing. In fact robotic following is worst form of slavery. By stampeding my rights they call it Azadi and Inqalab.

Imran khan should learn from mistakes of AAP leader arvind kejriwals downfall.Anarchy tactics only leads to vote bank politics at the cost of country. Heard speech of Narendra modi from red fort.He spoke of integration, development,promoted MADE IN INDIA theme making india hub of manufacturing and stayed away from rheotrics. Pakistan needs education,job,business- is their anyone who is talking about it.

The resignation of mian sahib is inevitable but in how many days it's upto mian sahib. Please resign quickly to allow the citizen of Pakistan with freedom to perform their duties.

@Asif Raza That's what Imran Khan's goal to fail whole system as well as the economy. Unfortunately he is successfully blackmailing every body so far and Govt seems to be a spectator.

Rightful protests apart, seems either the march participants are reasonably well off or they do not have jobs to worry about. Good to know that 'marchers' are above the economic worries that majority Pakistanis have - economy must have bloomed for them. We use to moan about 'votes for plates of biryani' now change of governments by 'dharnas' aided by party food packets will ve the new trend. Days of interruption to daily routine of ordinary citizens whether they support the marches or not - where are their rights?

@Asif Raza you are portraying the mindset that the morachs have created - ME MYSELF AND I. Let us think about athe greater interest of the nation and it's people. Know that our quest for greatness must be on a united note which will most certainly translate into greater achievements on an individual basis.

We will get rid of this corrupt system , IK. Then IK and his supporter will install another corrupt system to stay on forever.

The government crumbling under the weight of Azadi March...

@Asif Raza Sir, Sooner you accept him the NEW PM the sooner will things start getting better and the day he take oth the $ will be 40 and we will have 26 hours of electricity. ABRA CADABRA CABOOM.

@Asif Raza Economy is bad. And all this just because of this march ?really. Incompetency and corruption of current and previous governments has nothing to do about it?

Long live imran khan and pakistan

hwere is Imran khans two sons , why they left for London on 10th aug, is his sons life cheaper than our sons and daughters, if you are so pure and your cause is so right than you should have brought your sons with you , why why our sons and daughters are put in danger and not yours .. IK answer us please

Allah Bless our Country & Protect our True Leaders of the Nation.

This is not the way how civilized democracy works? PTI needs to learn to work within the system.

Today is Friday are the azadi marchers stopping for Juma'a namaz or mafi Namaz only Nawaz?

Who is saying our economy is going down, Please have a look on the occupancy of local guest houses and hotels in Islamabad and Rawalpindi. How KPK's people money is thrown away by IK.

@Lucky Star why? dont you sleep. or are you like a typical Pakistani who will stay awake at all the odd hours and go to sleep just before prayer times.

@ahed My son qasim is travelling with me.

i support the reforms that Imran Khan is seeking. Most important is biometric varification and voting.But I wonder if this is how it is going to be.... change of Govt.? If for now this is the method then how can one think that future change of govt will be through polls and parliament.The jargon....system ko derail nahin honey dein gay, is rubbish.this so called system is the methodology of snatching peoples mandate.It has been perfected .Thus we need to get rid of this .The elecion commission and courts that did nothing to all those droves of cheaters who were in the provincial assemblies,national assemblies and the senate till their last day of tenure with fake degrees need to be put on trial and punished for not doing the need ful.

The world is busy in working hard, and development of their own countries, while we are making fun on roads as if we have no work to do, sending negative signals about image of our great Pakistan.

@Ahmed USA its not a big deal Ahmed Imran has to carry 100 times more burden on his shoulder. Can you imagine his mental anguish right now. It doesnt matter if he doesnt take as much physical hardships as his workers. In history, even the most just of rulers always used to have vip protocol.

@Ally relax mate. You are probably one of the blessed one whinning about his selfish azadi. How about thousands and millions of disadvantaged people who will have a better life after the success of azadi march.

A question for everyone, it just hit my mind... For the arguments sake, lets say 1. This March is successful because there can be one million people on road 2. PM resigns 3. Re-election after three months and PTI wins and make government Now here is question... PML(N) decided to have LONG MARCH against PTI's government and they can in fact bring more people on road. What will happen then... will be stuck in just voting for many years till military takes over.

@Jawaid Ekram which system u r talking abt? To get things done u have to bribe, police, govt officials, courts, This the sytem. hahahahahaha

@Asif Raza Sacrificing a week is nothing compared to the turmoil we have been experiencing for years. Not that I think everything will become perfect overnight, but at least it will be a step in the right direction: Leadership should be accountable, elections should be reliable and most of all the elected PM should be visible to the parliament and masses.

Better editing required. Some of the posts above sound and read like press releases by PTI!

@Lucky Start I guess in your mind these are not human beings.Shame on Your Own Comment...

The youth have nothing to do, so lets join the party? Imran is showing them a path of progress, a green garden, but effectively destroying their valuable time and career. The time they could otherwise spend to do studies and learn new skills.

slowly but surly the people of the sleepy nation are awakening

i wonder why Imran Khan doesnt tender his resignation first if he thinks that elections were rigged. what about other provinces? does he think all was fair there and specially what about his governmnt in KPK. they all should resign first and then talk about others to resign. do in a right way. Tahirul Qadri is here just to make ppl kill each other. what he did last time. how ppl blindly all those mentally sick so called leaders. no one is looking at Pakistan. our forces are busy. our enemies are watching us closely and they are greedy for PM seat. alas.in our country personal benefits take over national interest. May god bless Pakistan.

BBC quoted Reuters that about 17,000 people turned up jointly for the start of the march. What do they think should be done in a country of 180 million. Change the government? Qadri was a nobody. Unfortunately IK has turned himself to a nobody too.

Dirty politics by PMLN.

@Kaleem They will return if PMLN also returned all money earned from this country in all his career!!

Sticks and stones won't break us, Nawaz Sharif when will you learn?

We have supported Imran Khan when he came here at Orlando for fund raising and contributed heavily. Did not know his true face what we have seen now. His vision appeared to be ZERO and is POWER HUNGRY. He is trying to be Bhuto: Battayene Gay what happened in Tashkant, which he never did and gained power and lost half of Pakistan. Imran is telling " I have all the proves and will tell you at next stop.

Its official now, PMLN new name is gullu league. All PMLN ministers and supporters are hereby ordered to grow gullu style muchh

We have created this country for using and abusing it.Heart aches when naive Politicians just fight for Power but not Pakistan.They make and break with each other for political expediency.

Hundered million dollar question but nobody has answr to it. Goldsmith money is working

PAT was more clever ,moved fast about to reach Islamabad without incident..

I wonder if these marchers know how many daily wagers have lost their paltry income. Economy is on a standstill & many hardships have been added to already miserable lives of us Pakistanis.

@Kamran Khan Wow, what an answer, Genius. You said PMLN is corrupt, looted billions and not returned. Now when you are asked to return MNA salaries withdrawn from illegitimate govt, You refer to NS to return his money first. Two wrong actions justify each other? If PTI has to behave in same manner as PMLN, whats the difference?

It seemed ironical and ridiculous KPK CM, Pervez Khatak demanding Resignation from PM, though both were elected as a result of what PTI terms RIGGED elections. It could happen only in Pakistan!!!! In other words, Elections were fair in KPK, but since IK was not elected PM therefore Elections were not fair in Punjab!!! Rehtorics apart IK doesnt make much sense now..

@Lucky Star You know, humans tend to sleep. They can't stay awake24 hours.

@Lucky Star My understanding is humans do sleep in 24 hours, PTI march is on almost more than 24 hours, dont know about u, are u human or robot.

This is a democratically elected government. The mere fact the march was allowed to proceed indicates that democracy is still alive in Pakistan. While agitating is a part of the democratic process is this necessary at the moment. Freedom of the wild horse is not democracy. I am quite certain IK understands it. It is easy to say things when you are in the opposition. PPP knows it as they had ruled the country. IK will know it if he gets an opportunity to rule. Any how God bless Pakistan.

"Our activists merely reacted in a similar manner but thankfully police came and controlled the situation." [Saad Rafiq] NS workers were not suppossed to go to see the rally? what were they doing there? Shayed mela wekhan gaye saan!!!

@Mustafa J. Do you really think that we got independence. Unfortunately we had only a year of independence until the great Qaid was alive. After him all the people who were against Pakistan became ruler. Do you really think that poor people of Pakistan are living their lives as independent citizens?

@Mazhar, Layyah there is no life but with liberty and freedom.

The following is the opening paragraph of this new item. It is incomplete sentence there is no news in it related to the headline. Dawn editors need to pay attention to what is published. "The activists of Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) and Pakistani Awami Tehrik (PAT) en route to Islamabad to protest against alleged rigging in the 2013 general elections and to present their demands of electoral and administrative reform."

Believe me we have much potential of natural resources and human resources that can fulfill not just our basic need but also wants like other growing countries but the corrupt political system destroying everything I don't know what will be their next step but now whoever will come to change the system they must take the strict & bitter action against corrupt peoples like China who gave order the death penalties to its own political figures as they found them guilty.

Pti supporters please stop commenting here and go join the failing March ...

Do we need a change in the country? Yes Do you think PTI can bring this change? I really doubt, but I am willing to give them a chance. They cannot be worse than PPP or PML-N. I am not even willing to consider or talk about PAT. I'd recommend PTI to stay clear of them as they can easily spoil your party and plans!

Imran and Qadri making people fight and divide, they can win next election by raising same issues but their actions are not making any sense now. People should understand these leaders(all) only perusing their personal and political goals, their children future is bright in England, Canada and USA. Why they are ruining poor Pakistanis future. Did Imran and his followers pray Friday Prayer?

IK worried Qadri might steal the limelight if he gets to isb first hence the change of vehicle and hurrying up to isb :)

@Imran Khan if you travel with your son you would be blamed for dynastic politics. If not you would be maligned for risking the life of ordinary Pakistanis while saving yours. I'm not your supporter but this excercise of yours will expose plenty of ills our system is filled with.

@Naveed - Totally agree - Both PPP and PML-N have been given chances in the past and all of us have seen how they ran the government and things have been going downhill. Give PTI a chance as we don't really have anything to loose now. The whole system needs a shake up which neither PPP nor PML-N have courage to do.

This is a clear sign of desperation by PMLn and they cannot do such a move without the green signal of top leadership,but this is not going to help them at all.the Best for Pti should be remain non-violent.

Minar e Pakistan would have been the perfect location for Imran khans rally. A bankrupt nations limited resources are being further wasted by a cricketer who only won the World Cup once in his entire career.

Gujranwala incident be taken as eye opner for the marchers of Azadi and PAT march. PMLN should restrain from confronting the protectors while controlling their violent activists.

@Lucky Star shame on you to say bad words for who are doing sth instead of writing and lecturing through keyboard and from the comfort of your home

Imran Khan is as corrupt as any other Pakistani politician. When will all of you remember that he was in the US every month to collect money for his hospital. He knows where the money tree is. If he ever does become the PM where do you think he will go first?

These are the freedom fighters? Deep inside they are all Gullus.

@BK what maked you believe in his honesty and intentions for Pakistan

@imran Thanks Imran. But please stay clear of PAT. JI is a much much better ally; trustworthy and capable than anyone else.

Shame on power hungry IK. Has he thought about where the daily wage earners will get food from

Gullus out there :(

wow! dont we all love democracy!

@Naveed let see them in pkp , it can be a good training ground for IK if used properly. at same time it can be dangerous if they don't do good , i don't know much but i am getting both very negative and very positive messages from kpk. , my friend from Hazara once a die hard supporter of PTI does not want to listen IK name , while friend from peshawar is very happy with improvement in city administration and police. IK should learn , PMLN bashing can amuse people but they wont vote for IK until he tells the Pakistani how will be make the changes.

From where I am sitting PTI and PAT have loose public support ten-fold, What about about a common men, women, and children including PML N workers who support PML N and its Government? What we do to defend our Government and our Prime Minister? If PTI and PAT wants their demands to be met by street protests and not in National Assembly then what about PML N's supporters? Can we also come out in ten-fold numbers to defend our government? Can we also express our democratic right?

This is the problem in pakistan .people are so used to dictatorship that they cannot have a democracy run by elected govt . I am not very good at pakistan politics but what these marchers are doing on the streets rather than fighting in the parliament .

We are doomed

@Muhammad Adil Shame on you by being a supporter of mindless leader IK. who have no respect for anybody, individuals and institutions.

Looks like all the PTI supporters have gone to Azadi March. Most of the recent comments are from IK haters.

@Awais Tanvir PTI is full of the likes of Gulloos. If only Imran realises that if by some fluke, he becomes the PM, he could be subjected to a similar fate. He is setting a dangerous precedent for some parties in Karachi and Baluchistan.God help me against foolish friends, I can take care of my enemies !!

@Kaleem wonderful questions raised. But i know no one from PTI will answer because they have emotions only, no Logic

@Lucky Sttar : I wish and pray for peace and stability. Hope Imran, Chaudhary, Qadri and Company's drama will be over soon and public will be able to restart their daily life.

"PML-N activists on top of a police vehicle in Gujranwala" -- one of the pictures showing PML(N) supporter on the top of police van. If police could not stop them , how would they control all these Gullu Butts throwing stones at PTI workers ?

PTI we are with you

@Ahmed USA Keep wondering Allama Iqbal.

@Syed zafar Kazmi Well, I have yet to hear of any corruption charges against IK, I have yet to hear IK is using taxpayers money for his personal expenses, I have yet to hear that he has established new factories after coming into politics. In short, IK has yet to give me a reason to doubt his honesty and intentions. Don't know the guy personally, for that matter don't know any of the politicians personally but all one needs to do is look at an individual's past record/life for public service, it usually says a lot.

@Lucky Sttar becasue of people like you pakistan is suffering and is in such a position electing the same robber who have robbed the nation twice in the history ... Yet you support them shame on you .. you are resposible for this march ...

I watched the video of TQ's speech at Jelhem. He seems to have a clear thinking, and speaks very well - perhaps better than most other leaders. Also, I did not see any thing wrong with what he said. He dwarfed Nawaz and all his cohorts.

Lots of people complaining here about the march, how negatively effected the country. If you are true sons and daughters of this country go with the march, it is a revolution, and every citizen sacrifice when a country goes through the revolution, the price we have to pay for better future...!

IK is a sore loser. He is power hungry politician who cannot take defeat honorably.

Please all the concern Try to control the situation as soon as possible, specially government to resolve all the issues impeccably with all the stakeholders.

@ahed his son Qasim is with him

IK please tell us who is paying for all this.

@Vic I guess same people who paid Nawaz Shairf 's PML-N for long march against Gen. Pervez Musharraf on lawyer's movement

@Ahsen I am not imran hater I just don't support him Is this a crime? Every political party and leaders have their followers And all of us including our leaders are not angel and this all is not perfect There are different types of voters 1. Who just love their party and leaders just like mother children relation, whatever child do, mother will not leave the child but always perfect and correct 2. Realistic people, who if govt does not silver will vote another suitable polical party, 3. The diehard passionate ones who easly loose their patience and do not want to hear or watch any wrong words or action towards their leader and party even if sometime their leader or party is doing neagative work Above all is part and parcel of politics In the end The people who are nationalist and the leaders who acts like a statesman or stateswoman will flourish Sadly, till this moment non of the leaders and their supporters respect each other's views and ideology or show empathy towards each other Even our media is not even impartial Don't destroy or hate each other but unite as one nation in a lawfull and democratic way, If Sir Imran Khan pushed this govt towards resignation through street protest then I am not going to vote him in election However if Sir Imran Khan and TUQ negotiate their demands with present goverment like a gentlemen in a democratic way in National Assembly and all political parties together bring a lot of progressive resolutions and laws with reform in this tenure 5 years of present government without asking for resignation through long march then I will vote for Sir Imran Khan in the next elections I had always voted for PML because I like the party presence on the politics of sub continent I still respect Nawaz Sharif as well as a person but not totally agree with Sir Shahbaz Sharif measures and also don't personally like him as person I am well educated person with double masters and spent 6 years in United Kingdom and now in living in lahore because I want to do a product work for my country We have to be petient with each other and we should respect each other's point of view We should not use disrespectful word toward each other and should not terms each other as pethetic just because we don't agree on different views I hope all this meet it's end in a peaceful and productive way without forcing each other to accept each other's terms and conditions It's always better then jaw jaw than war war

Both marches appear to be a fiasco as far less people are in both marches than IK & Q expected to follow them .It seems many of their supporters are getting fed up with their leaders's negative attitude and may be that they now know who is behind this game.

Jahangir Tareen, who is going to take care of the needs of millions of people gathered in Islamabad? PTI has set a wrong example for the future generations. If IK is successful in toppling NS government by besieging Islamabad then he should be ready for being toppled through the same way.

I could not participate in the Azadi march but sent Rs 10,000 to some of my friends who has reached to Islamabad from Charsadda.

@Wow Call him Prince Qassim, your prince!

If IK took a deal anything less than PM resignation he will loose all credibility and support he has garnished in the last 20 years...

Some PTI followers cannot take constructive criticism...instead of positively engaging in an intelligent discussion they resort to blame game...my advice to PTI jiyalas is to show some restraint...IK may be an honest person but sadly his actions from day one... would not lead to the desired result...and instead may lead to chaos and anarchy...IK is banking on spreading insaf on the shoulders of his corrupt to the core buddies...how is that possible...IK give everybody cricket comparisons...why not use cricket analogy for himself...can you play good, honest and respectable cricket with ball temperers and match fixers...usually in the cricketing world they are banned for life...but sadly in the case of IK cricket world it is all together a different ball game...I rest my case...

@Ally Ur rights are infringed daily by cavalcades of Sharifs and CJs

@Jawaid Ekram Within corrupt system?????

@Lucky Star PTI and PAT leaders are marching to get in power for there own benefits and foolish people wasting there time and money following them. I don't understand even at the time when all other nations are doing innovative and creative work our country is still in same condition. All political parties talk about there goals every day and no one talks for people still this nation do not understand......Allah bless our nation and make us use our brain......Ameen

I am not an active political worker neither have I voted to Imran Khan. But I have really seen an honest person who is strict on his rules to the point of Stubbornness. I really have created likeness for him inside me and I think whatever step he takes, may seem wrong but is always out of sheer Honesty or as it may seem to me. For the first time, I have seen people around me; who likes him. We have seen him as a normal citizen, the One who created Shoukat Khanum Hospital in a country where even First Aid is not available free of Cost. People might see him opposing a Democratic government, But really, I see in him a man who have the ability to confront anyone, and He has the Ability to Bring Change. For the change which could not occur in the history of Pakistan.

Choudharis of Gjrat just want to be in the governmnet! It is not going to happen this time. NS is no Musharraf!

@ozair Not most sunny!

16 of Aug, is the decisive day. Nawaz Government is expected to go.

Get up! Stand up for your right ...stand up get up don't give up your right

Sheikh Raheed. Whatever people say. I may not vote for him. Still love his talks and attitude.

Ik has a script and he is hoping army will kick in

@Ahmed USA IK may be an honest person but And that my friend along with being sincere to Pakistan is the key ingredient for for being a good leader. Sadly however those May be the reasons he may never become PM. Because the corrupt system will not let him.

These uneducated people keep putting country back into stone-age. Imran and Qadri have lots of money to survive but what about these azadi marchers, how will they survive? Shame on our uneducated Pakistani politicians.

@Ali Imran Shah : You got it wrong. To become Independent (or Azaad) from foreign rule is what Mohammad Ali Jinnah achieved for Pakistanis. When British left, Pakistanis has two choices. (1) Be ruled by Indian rulers or (2) Be ruled by Pakistanis (self rule). Pakistanis achieved self rule and without any question it is an Azad (independent) country. Yes, Pakistanis are not angels. There are looters, thugs, killers, thieves, slogan shouters and demonstrators to enforce their will and it will take time when people will learn through education and learning. But to claim that Pakistan is not a free country and it needs independence is far from truth. Jinnah made this country independent from foreign rule but the task of making this country a happy country for all is the responsibility of all its citizens including its leaders. The country is still a free country and does not need any Freedom March or Azadee March. The current problems in Pakistan will not disappear by removing Nawaz Sharif and replacing him with Imran Khan or any other leader. To begin with, changing government using protests, slogans and Danda (sticks) is outdated method and not being used in any civilized country and not even in Amazon Jungle.

Put the entire KPK cabinet including CM on trial for criminal negligence of state affairs.

@Humdard Only a wishful thinking & an eye-wash. Dear Why Imran is not contributing in the Parliament? Did he brought any constructive bill, did he give any positive plan to prosper country, did he injected ethics or morality in existing political system, did he showed any respect ever for those who have difference of opinion with him? Why not he is prepared to respect those voters who have voted for Mian Nawaz Sharif? I have seen many people have automatically become, Ex-MNA, Ex-Minister, Ex-Senator, Ex-MPA etc. through the election process, why he doesn't permit democracy/ accountability to continue as per our Constitution. Let's wait for 5 years or at least 2 & half years to hold this government accountable..... Plz IK is mulk par raham karo.

Pakistani soil is fertile for evil and corrupt politicians, I pray for Imran Khan's safety. In Pakistan's history, any leader who stand tall and had a vision for Pakistan, either got killed or we put him behind bar to give a free hand for incompetent and corrupt people. Imran Khan you are the lost hope for this nation, please stand on your ground until, bring changes from top to bottom. It will take generation to clean up, but we have believe and trust on you, you can do it.

IK's Tsunami of destruction has hit KPK 's masses :( Many have died Many are hurt :( Many have lost homes :( But who cares? IK does not! He's too busy to be anointed the next Prime Minister. After all, he is the one to call in this Tsunami himself. May Allah save Pakistan from the curse of IK's Tsunami, Ameen!

Nawaz government should step down.

LOL! Already IK has given up Nawaz Shariff's resignation,then they will ask govt some face saving demand to be fulfilled. Stop this drama. Let people decide by ballot who they want. Trying to force your way by unconstitutional means is not acceptable to the majority of Pakistanis.

The battle for Lahore is now being fought in Islamabad. Either way things will have to change for the royal dynasty from Lahore.

IK you have been elected to serve people of KP. How are you serving them?

Qadri was unpopular when he left for Canada several years ago. But CTBT made him popular again by placing containers to block him. Mian sahib and rest of Pakistan should know he is a foreigner a Canadian national so he can't contest elections unless he surrenders Canadian citizenship. anything he says doesn't make a difference. Qadri or Padri. Or I call him Wabal Thakuray for Pakistan. As far Imran is concerned, he wants to bring changes over night and has built up people expectations for quick change. But it won't happen. I suggest sit and wait for next elections and people will reject the bad governance in next elections. From an ordinary citizen point of view; To container placers and Marching parties You have wasted several days of labor work. Daily workers couldn't get work for last several days. Shop owners couldn't open their shops for business. Revenue loss. Other business were also interrupted as people were blocked by containers or marchers. Revenue loss. Merchandise being shipped via containers were sitting on GT road to block the march and shipper may have lost the L/C due to delays in shipping. both sides responsible.

Only one reason behind these marches. Let free Musharaf. I think it is in best favor for Mian sahibaan to let free Musharaf out of country and they will easily complete their 5 year term. All these marchers will return home in no time. Main sahib change your advisers and take professional people on board. Get rid of these butts and kashmirirs and Kahwajas as this sect of our country can't think beyond roti n boti. All they do is wake and eat, gup shup and then eat, then sleep and then eat again.

These corrupt rulers must go. Does anyone remember the freezing of foreign currency accounts by this lot. Our memory is very short. Thousands of people lost their savings and still want them in government.

Only rain can save Sharif brothers saltanat now.

@Kaleem : Why did the Interior Minister Chaudary Nisar, on the floor of the house said that 60-80 thousand votes cannot be verified. Why did the ECP print extra ballots in 90 constituency after the deadline in violation of ECP rules. Why was the ballot printed on ordinary paper and the ink was not the right kind. All tribunal decisions are malafide since no case was decided after a recount of votes. All cases in which ballot was recounted showed glaring fraud. Finally RO's stole the Elections and there is just nothing you can do about it. If you are foolish enough to go to the tribunals they will get Stay order from the High Courts to further stall the process . If this dispute is not settled amicably there will be chaos, remember PML-N drew the first blood with the Model Town Massacre. Shahbaz is gone its just a matter of time. Do not bluff yourself. Remember Masud Mehmood!

We should all have re-election costing our country million of rupees because IK cant absorb that he lost. Well this time i will definitely vote for anyone other than IK.

While Imran sleeps at Bani Gala I stay awake waiting for Azadi to come. Kaptaan sleep tight. Qadri get well soon or I send to you revolutionary Pucky

How can an elected government be toppled like this? This is against the tenets of electoral politics. It's weird. What about the people who voted for Nawaz? This will set a wrong precedence for disgruntled loosers.

Qadam barhao Imran Khan hum tumhare saath hain.

I together with millions of hardworking Pakistanis strongly support Imran Khan demand that Nawaz Sharif to resign immediately.

@Kaleem I AM NO PAT OR PTI OR PML. Look at the old speeches of IK . You will discover his double talk. Look at old photos - he was with Mushy - supported him than ditch him - He supported CJ and defended Arsalan , than he ditch them. You are absolute right - why 58 objections only -- and those 50 also not against PML? Fact of the matter is -- IK things - now If mid term elections held- he can win -- perceptions . PML policies will bear fruit by Senate elections -- more megawatts- more gas - motorway - terminals - airport etc . visible to naked eye, People will vote PML - due to progress not for love of NS. I write these lines not because PML i support or NS is my uncle. infact I cant even vote. I need my aircon to work- my electric , my gas - my car to drive on motorway- since 1989 - I dont use PIA- that tell you - how I feel about your qaumi ariline service. IK ONLY POWER HUNGRY -- every looser cries - BB did cry foul too when she lost - atleast ANP don't cry foul and Bilour accepted his defeat and gave speech early -- wish ANP can over come their corruption - people will vote for them more.. well principal party - JI conservative otherwise best party - no Hashmi or Qureshi can become President or VP in JI.. most organised and principal party in the country -but too conservative to the core. I congratulate NS for all the projects he did during short period for 14 months - what IK has to show in KP? DURNAS- WALK OUT - MARCHES . VERBAL BOUTS WITH EX CJ- ELECTION COMMISION - JULSA ? people need hospitals, schools, roads, clean city -- not most dirty city Peshawer -tittled --

Imran Khan We need democracy in Pakistan. We do not need you or any one else to change government. We want to do ourselves by our votes.

Is there somebody to take care for our brothers and sisters in KPK....Plz do somethingggggg..

In the past our generals have changed the governments for us. Now you have come to do just that. Please understand WE want to change government ourselves by ballot. No general, not you, not Qadri has the right to do this for us.

We were able to change previous government by ballot. It felt like Azadi for the first time. IK and Qadri, have come to take that Azadi away from us?

Mature politicians emerge from the political process. Election after election is the process which will ensure better politicians in future. You interrupt that process and you are back to square one. Have we not seen enough of that in the past? For God's sake have mercy on this nation. Stop this negativity.

Chaudry sab wants to form new national govt . and every Party should be in the govt . please don't forget to give chaudry sab due share - like DY Prime Minister slot -- Make Pervaiz Murshaaf - Defense Minister - PTI President, PPP Zardari Prime Minister - Sheikh Rasheed railway minister - JI finance minister - JUF foreigner portfolio; Khursheed shah - speaker of the house - Shah Mehmood - UN ambassodor and NS assistant to deputy prime minister - cuz his PML has less number than Q league or Shaikh Rasheed heavy mandate? Chaudry shab need to do Mental MRI of his brain first -- ops i forgot Qadri - he should be made CJ of the country - cuz he was insaaf - Revenue board is busy preparing list of holdings and back taxes

my prediction: imran khan is following the footstep of za bhutto when he had gone against ayub khan and when he gained power he wanted to be a ruler of the whole islamic world and control their wealth of the oil producing countries and so called the islamic conference in 1975 - imran khan if elected will join forces with the religious parties to call an islamic conference and cause tension with the west and india - he too wants to be popular among the islamic countries - at the end of the day pakistan will suffer

@umesh but this will set the example that if for greed of getting more seats they are actually under mining and hurting those supporters and voter who actually voted for them.

What happened in Tahrir Square? A long sit in, demand for resignation of Mubarak, demand for re election. Do you see any similarities ? What the west wanted for many years can be realised now. Remember what happened in Eygpt, no it wasn't spring revolution, it was another Islamic country destabilised with intention for a long time to come. I fear for my country and I will never ever forgive IK & TUD if ...

I was impressed by Imran Khan but now I have decided to NEVER vote for him because when Pakistan is in critical situation and country has started progressing (compare progress with Punjab and KPK from start of this Govt), Imran started protesting against an election which he had previously accepted. No way, This is too bad for my country.
