Great admirer of Khan and PTI but getting a bit tired of all of this. What positives has KP seen since PTI took charge. Has safety improved, has corruption reduced, has the youth seen opportunities, has education reformed ... Your aim should be to run a province properly (crawl before you can run?), and not just to reform the electoral system ...

Imran got mad. Another shameless politician in our country. If present government collapse, another fool will be IK and fail miserably in history books.

Anyone who believes that Nawaz will continue to sit in the Office of PM after the end of August is either lying to himself or he is made to believe in the lie by someone else. Political atmosphere of Pakistan will not allow the current Government to complete its term and this is a bitter reality we cannot escape. Lets hope for a new and free Pakistan.

Imran khan is being used and he will be removed page of politics

Way to Go Khan Sb.

Imran Khan needs to be facilitated for long march and he should be provided some ground in Rawalpindi if he assures that protesters will remain peaceful and also he should do peaceful protests in Peshawar against rigging.Then he should start talks for some constitutional amendment to allow govt to order recounting or conduct elections in some seats.

the system has not delivered .. we need civilian martial law aka Presidential system like in US.. where people elect one person and he selects his cabinet.. rather than MNAs become Ministers

Much ado about nothing much. Would have credited IK if it was for something substantial, for instance, local government. That would have been the right way to shame the punjab and other givernments. Right now, IK is just oroving to be yet another politician with not much substance.

IK is the kind that will blame any one under the sky expect himself. How could he ever be a constructive leader?????

You lost in Punjab, won in KPK, now wait for 4 years and try to deliver on at least a third of the promises you made in KPK. You already conceded that you were wrong all along about Taleban and drones. You are defenitley in the wrong here, stop agitating, build KPK.

What IK needs is to define the mission statement and the goal that everyone can Identify with. People can not identify with the goal of electoral reforms as the mean to end their plight. Endemic corruption, lawlessness and anarchy combined with fascism in the guise of democracy is root cause of all upheavals in Pakistan. The fact that the top 50 families did not pay their fair share of tax can be a something that IK should insist on collecting and using that as to tag the top 50 families as corrupt to the core. Just one idea and keep repeat the same over and over and this is how it can resonate with people. Tax evaders can not be leaders - this is the theme that PTI can run with. People are sick and tired of load shedding, food shortage and lawlessness. The current government is busy with the foreign trips and amassing looted wealth. These are the core issues. Electral reforms is a long term solution and that is a good and should be done but this is going to get you the longest to your goals

Its always someone else`s fault.. Sometimes, it`s the Electoral system, or Judiciary or Other Political Parties or America.. Only TTP, Army, and PTI are never at fault.

we should be greatfull to imran as he changed the thinking of pakistani,s, they think more wiser and are more patriot then our forefathers.i am sitting in south africa but glad pakistan is changing.just politicians and army have to change and be more patriotic.

PTI 14th August Azadi March will be historical

IK is being used a tissue paper and will be thrown into garbage once used , why is he not seeing that is written on the wall , if some one has promised him something , make note IK will never be there choice , other within PTI might have already alligned with them.

Most of the Pakistanis are playing POLITICS/POLITICS, Long March, short government, Zardari in the political ground also, waiting for Imran to set his field on August 14, Maulana Qadri and other Maulanas as stand by, what a scene. We don't have much good clean comedy programs on TV here in US, so we watch Pakistani news and watch our nation's comedians - THE POLITICIANS

When PMLN's government is in danger, PMLNcalled Army and here in Karachi, thousands of people died in bomb blasts and target killings nobody called army. PMLN really deserve to quit government.

Afsoos ho raha hai aaj iss insan ko vote day kar :/

Lahore is under siege. Who will liberate us from Shah of Raiwand? Khan or mility? Anyone is better than the present lot.

Remember Qadri dharma last year? IK is gonna declare victory the way Qadri did. IK needs immediate medical attention. He appears to be infected with brain eating ameoba. I guess he is not seeking medical attention because the poor ameoba is gonna starve to death anyway.

Another deal to be witnessed . .

I like this, politicians fighting amongst themselves just like Taliban fought amongst themselves when we gave them a free hand. Both are a nuisance to the country.

Go Go Khan Go All Nation is with you

What is going on with this Cry Baby. Threats, threats and threats. He has insulted and without any evidence accused Iftakhar Chowdrey (a judge), Shariff brothers and their family (polticians) Najam Sethi (individual) Fahkrudin (election commissioner). Is this the leader we want for future. I think Imran has already bid farewell to poltics. I was a supporter once but never again. This man needs to calm down and control his mouth

Okay IK, i guess you don't want to be another TUQ

That's exactly what he wanted Army to intervene.....

It is not going to be a war between two ideologies,it is only a confrontation between two power hungry politicians.

@Afro I think you are ill informed, yes there have been changes in KP, education reforms are taking place, recruitment of teachers without sifaarish, IG of police is operating without inteference from politicians, new schools are being built and corruption in hospitals has been reduced. this is not me saying it but from the people of KP who have noticed these changes. Any good reforms take time and it will take time to eradicate 67 years of corruption and bad culture.

@DAANISH What evidence do you have, you are obviously part of this culture of corruption who sees nothing wrong with the system.

Not in interest of the nation...Pakistan has experienced military rule in the past...The results have not been good...Democracy should prevail......Not sure why an experienced leader like IK is making such statements. Does he realize what will happen to all the parties if military rule is imposed...I expect mature and sensible statements from him

I feel so disappointed with some of the comments who see nothing wrong with the current government. I wish people would wake up and realise that system of continious corrupt governments cannot continue. this is not about IK or PTI but about changing the whole culture in Pakistan. People need to realise that they need to free themselves from these feudal lords and adopt the right path before Pakistan sinks completly.

Without electoral reforms you cant get a fairly elected democratic forum who will be running your country . A flawed and corrupt electoral system will need to change before any change is expected . This should have been done a long time ago.

IK has nothing to show, he just wants martial law. People like him having no interest in democracy, all he has is an ego NS should let this guy march, have PTI put up a bond so that if any damage is done they should pay for it and they should not be allowed to stop commerce. This guy wants to shut down the country just like those who were paid off in Egypt to get rid of an elected government and impose Sisi

@Afro There are many Afro. I suggest you to Wiki Pervez Khattak administration. You will learn about health care reform, police reform, measures against corruption, Implementation of Right to Information bill, Promoting Industrialization, Energy Generation, Police-to-victim-service, Online FIR System, Women-centric Developments, Mobile Courts, Rehabilitation of Drug habits, Law Enforcement Capability Enhancements, Upgradation of KPK electricity distribution system, Whistleblower law etc. KPK is on a great track. But reforming the electoral system, complete Pakistan will reform. He calls it Naya Pakistan!

Imran Khan has popular support as the incumbent government has failed to address the fundamental issues of public interest like load shedding, law and order, price hike and one can name scores. History shows that breaking the status quo and swimming against the current of water has never been easy. I think we should see an end to "monarchial democracy" and only a politician of Imran's mettle and character may be expected to challenge the status quo. People may say that Imran Khan is rigid and lacks political astuteness but I must say "Bravo Khan we don't want you to be flexible or politically astute like Asif Zardari or Fazal ur Rahman as we have loads like them but none like you".

The people of Pakistan faced lot of hardship in their life they support Mr Khan for better life and day to day need but unfortunately his party never show any commitment on that issue but he want to grab power by overthrowing by means of protest how ever every political party has right to protest but they should have show what will be their plan i think Pakistan heading towards big conflicts zone where your powerful army can not handle situation as your army fight at various front so ample case for islamist jihadis may take over the country and he will only responsible

Nothing can be as juvenile as this statement,this shows that IK needs trove of experience and nurturing in politics. He himself is creating a critical situation,still uttering such things keeping in view the history of Pakistani Politics and how many times the Army has intervened in such situations!

This totally unnecessary rally better stay peaceful -- Imran's responsibility.

@Afro leave it you just stay in your AC house Mr!

Go for it IK knock these mafia gang for a sixer

Dhokaybaz politicians hain. Pakistan needs to do away with them. Those sitting in government don't have to think about day to day chores and expenses. They are oblivious to the suffering of the people. I don't want it to go in this direction after seeing what has happened in Libya, Syria and else where but what else is their for the ordinary people to do.

@Afro My friend I don't know how you claim that safety has not improved, corruption has not reduced, education has not reformed or for that matter power sector has not seen improvements. Please don't be so naive and ignorant. Get some facts. There has been not only improvement but a drastic change in the reforms and approach to such matters. I personally have stakes in KPK and I cant tell you that there is way more development there then just metro buses and I currently live in Lahore. For one did you even know that for the past 5 years Kalam did not have power and PTI took the initiative to setup a hydro generator to produce electricity at below 2PKR/unit? Kalam has more then ample power and funny but for the first time girls are being paid to go to school. Per child 2000 PKR is given to the family for sending their kids to school. And the list goes on. :)

If army comes? It will not be my fault ! Koi batlaye ka hum batlaian kya

Nawaz Shareef is acting like a dictator. He should let opposition parties do protests. He should stop behaving like Saddam Hussein or Gadafi type dictators.

@Afro Please understand that the greatest gift IK can give to the people are concrete and irreversable electoral reforms. If we establish a culture of free, fair and transparent elections; then we wont have to rely on Imran Khan's to come and save us. A thousand Imran Khans will emerge from within us. The prosperity of western countries do not rely on one magic man or godsend, it is dependent on continuous accountability of elected individuals by the people.

For the good of the country Imran sahib please postpone your march. Good people always live to fight the good wars another day.

PMLN could have easily defused the situation but their ego wont let them. it only started with demanding recount on 4 constituencies, could have ended with that as well. If PMLN didn't rig they should have nothing to hide on those 4. I think PMLN needs to go now.

Very well said Khan sab.

Please PTI I need help just tell me who will lead the new Pakistan? I am tired of this NEW PAKISTAN TERM.... if all will be under constitution then how a mob of say million can force PM out of office?? How a constitutional body like EC is forced to resign by mob of people? All this can be and should be done in Parliament? Please tell me what is as per constitution? Who will reform election commission when there would be no parliament?? Who will run the country?? Please PTI I need help

egypt like situation may trigger.........i condemn anyone who practices the politics of promoting anarchy and supporting violence..........for once, did this guy ever handover his suggestions of the so called electoral reforms to the government or proposed a bill in the parliament. don't fool the nation.

Imran khan should know about this that if some how army's martial law is imposed it would be bad for the whole country and Pakistan will go back again, bans will be imposed on Pakistan once again by World. Government is ready to accept your demands what else you want.

For a glory of very short time, Imran Khan has gambled his political future. Unfortunately, in the process we would have lost a good potential leader.

@Mazharr Who do you think is behind Imran Khan? Obviously, you don't have a clue about IK. IK is the Nelson Mandela of Pakistan, and is determined to free the country from these Qabza Mafias. The entire quom is behind Imran Khan. Please go and get your eyes checked, as you badly need a new pair of eye glasses.

Imran khan and his lobby is greedy of power, if he comes to power: 1. PMLN will launch long long march against him and now no govt will complete its tenure. 2. Nation will further suffer crisises like electricity, because china is helping and when they will see PAK so called demoratic system is unstable, no country will come to our help. 3. PMLN some how has relation with some ME countries and and $ rate is stable otherwise every imported thing prices if fixed with $. 4. On going projects of govt will be qicked out by new mafia and further of nation money. So please IK be responsible and wait for your turn!!!

dear imran bahi i voted for you and i am with you, but have some pity on me , inqilab is not gathering 1 lakh motorbikes and million people. gradually show you work. make excellent policies in your domain (KPK) and trust me you wont need march upon march. bring competent people rather than average laymen .its not democracy to transparently elected loyal and fair people via election and put them in seats where they are dazed and amazed what to do next due to lack of competency. but bring democracy with smart moves. play strategically and tactically , a plier cant be used as a screwdriver although its strong. no two brains will ever get on same page this fight will go on. same players all the time shows up in different dress. and in return what i or we get?? ..that after 18 years of education with professional degree from outside, and 10years of experience scenarios is that my salary gets finished in the middle of every month and i am worried how to save for my 3 years old kids Montessori. this question is for all players of democracy. we literally have everything in Pakistan just need MANAGERS

Why is this man so impatient?If he felt elections were rigged why did'nt he moblise people just after declaration of results?Why such a late realisation?Moreover I think his party is ruling in one of your provinces Why not to show a model of good governance there so that people vote for him in the next general elections.Mature democracies don't work on the whims of politicians.

1st show us what you hav done in kpk.

@Afro you are pmln media cell not imran supporter, if you are you will now he already have done a lot for kpk and a lot media done their own research if true or not

way to go mr. imran khan..Pakistani people have high expectations from you..hope this is the moment that truly sow d seeds of real democracy in Pakistan. n I request my Pakistani brothers to come out in full force on d day... Zardari/bhuttos and sharifs are the worst u could hv faced...n n imran khan will be much better than them even at 5% of his capabilities. .cz he is patriot. .. well wisher from india.

correction sir ... if army steps in means its Pakistan's fault ... if you succeed today then tomorrow any person or political group can stand up and march, try to bring Inquilab in his or her own terms and there will be peoples support no matter it be right or wrong ... just see what happened in iraq, tunisia, egypt, libya and syria ! ... all are fighting for their OWN terms ! ... not for their country dont start this !!!

@Sultan Alvi, Canada ... please mr canada ! you get your visa cancelled and stand behind the IK line and get psychological evaluation ! ... if imran khan does this then any person can do this ... tomorrow every one will just keep marching and there will be no work ... even if a system will be doing justice there will be habit of saying that its unfair and its against constitution !!! no one will listen to any one and there actually wont be any justice !!

Seems like MNS always to be ousted by the Army!

If PML-N goverment fails it will be due to misadventures of Nawaz. His policies based upon his obsession of humiliating President Musharraf and colluding with the thugs of PPP, instead of good governance, will certainly lead him into the slammer.

IK you can bring change in this country. I am 100 percent that your only desire is prosperity and dignity of people.

Khan shab you remind me the famous Urdu quotation " keray koi bharey koi". You are going to jam whole country just for your own cause, free election commission will established through dialogue process not by creating this mass,At the end you and your party workers deal this situation with dialogue on back stage. if your dialogue process with Taliban was open till the last day of Pak Army operation, so why its close with Govt before time. If Army take over the country its all your fault not Pmln.

Azadi from the status quo is not for free, throughout the world history tells wherever a revoulution came against the Kings and Queens it never came through dialogue, it came through bloodshed, and war against the various dynasties of Europe, they freed themselves from their tryannical rule by defeating them giving their lives and set up a common mans democracy by themselves and Europe is an example, all dynasties were defeated by common people and all were vanished and Europe prospered and look wheres Europe standing today. So Imran khans will have to pay the price, in order to achieve his goal, full audit of elections wouldn't come for free, the recounting of PMLN constituencies wouldn't come for free, arrest of those ROs rigged the election wouldn't come for free, giggle" the government is not that generous Imran khan, you might have to sacrifice some of your followers lives.

Fair electoral system is the start of democracy. Unless corrected, we will have to suffer the ills of rigging i.e. corruption, monarchy, extorsion, etc. So let give a chance to IK to glorify the roots. The sharifs can then contest their fourth term if they could amend the constitution to their benefit again..............

IK has stood alone against the status quo. All the forces of status quo do not want change in the system. He talks about the strengthening of institutions. No body else talks about them.

Keep marching forward Imran Khan, whole Pakistan and all overseas Pakistanis are supporting your noble cause. We desperately need to crush the politics of dynasty and nepotism. We desperately need to get rid of the Wadera/Choudhry system from Pakistan for ever. Don't stop Imran Khan, keep on moving.

Really IK!

Mr IK , who authorizes you to become sposkeman for public and represent public will , why not you accept your defeat like any other people in civilized countries.

@SamKelly khan got a dream after one year that election were rigged.

It is about time that people rise up for their rights. Otherwise, learn to live with Sharifs, Bhuttos and misery.

Imran should look at his party's constituted committee led by Tasneem Noorani to probe the causes of his defeat. Then also see the contents of article by Fakhroo Bhahi where he repliet IK'S rigging allegations. No sane person can differ what is reported there which belies his all concocted charges made just to save face. In fact he appears to be planted and pushed and his political career would be at stake for playing fouls. His performance in KPK is evident. The best way is he should try to revamp and improve the system raising voice in Parliament. In case of any mishap the responsibility of derailing the system would squarely rest with him and his companions mostly had been part of this system and called TURN COATS.

People gave 67 years to pethatic, selfish and corrupt leaders and getting tired from a person which had just a year to perform under anormous pressure in a war torn province. How immature are people of Pakistan politicaly. This is the history of the muslims that when a Right man stood for a cause against the powerfull negative forces , he was forced to be cornered. We can see the same situation in this case. All parties of status co are gathered against the last man standing for justice. Justice can only prevail when the minds of Goats, cows and donkeys get some political maturity. Long live the brave man.

After the clear warning by US ambassador, Army will not step in directly but it will do it indirectly from the background.

Why you folks are against N league brothers? Why people are so jealous of their hard earned money and assets -domestic & abroad! They have just 76 NAB cases, a little bit alleged rigging in 4 constituencies and 30 punctured repairs ..otherwise they are dead honest and so committed to serve the nation.. Our country desperately needs these brothers for more metro buses, more steel on Highways and for urgent power production..give them a chance...They have the magic to run furnace plant with diesel...

IK is struggling for making Pakistan of one nation and NS is trying to produce more potwaries..........that's the difference. Go to KPK you will learn about health care reform, police reform, measures against corruption, Implementation of Right to Information bill, Promoting Industrialization, Energy Generation, Police-to-victim-service, Online FIR System, Women-centric Developments, Mobile Courts, Rehabilitation of Drug habits, Law Enforcement Capability Enhancements, Upgradation of KPK electricity distribution system, Whistleblower law etc.....if for the whole country that will be 'Naya Pakistan'. On the other hand, Punjab govt considers bridge is better than hospital, laptop is better than education, corruption is better than merit, darkness is better than light, hypocracy is better than fairness, illness is better than health. O people if it were in their hands you would extinguish soon

Khan Sb forgod sake, we (PTI supporters) are tired of your nonsense. Can't defend your stupidity anymore.

Can't believe this is the same guy who led Pakistan to so many cricket victories. Has he lost his way? Is his team lacking good players like he had back then? Is he that desperate and lacking in confidence?

Imran Khan I am sorry I thought you were a Democrat and voted for you. Its clear you are nothing but an agent of the Army and want to return the country to them

Imran Khan and PTI have gone out of depth!

@khanman you are PMLN sheep in PTI skin for sure

Inqilab will come because greats of pakistan are togather: S rasheed Chaudrys Shah Mehmood IK TUQ Only one missing is zardari

IK, you have disappointed us. Blame game and support from Army never strengthens institutions and countries. Please look around and see Modi in India, Erdogan in Turkey. Please deliver in KpK.

@Afro Lol, seems like you don't have access to the Internet or tv. People living in KPK themselves say that Pti has brought a positive change there. It takes years to improve the education system; but they are trying their best. Corruption has been reduced, the police has been depoliticised (I know the AIG KP's son). So yeah, you should get your facts right first

come on IK , we will not forgive you if army comes this time , you are second asghar khan....

@Jungraiz What do you have to say on behalf of PML (N), how many promises he made to the whole nation, and out of all those can you name just one, only one, which he fulfilled. Nawaz Sharif was elected as the Prime Minister of Pakistan with a mandate, including major authorites. But did he exercise any of his authority in favor of this nation, and his people. No! Mr. Nawaz Sharif is a total flop. If Imran Khan did not show any progress in KP, but then Nawaz Sharif also did nothing for the entire nation. Now who is to be blamed more ???

My heart weeps over these political madness.

I agree with u.we need education and basis things not electorate reform which can be achieve later.IK is the last hope.lets see

Is there anyone in Pakistan who can tell Mr. Imran Khan in plain and simple language: (1) August 14 is birth of Pakistan and should not be used for in-fight between Pakistani leadere. (2) Mr. Imran Khan knows well that there is a procedure and place to seek justice and it is definitely not marching in streets and roads shouting slogans. {3) Mr. Imran Khan said:

Yes, he is 100 percent right but in the corridors of power in Islamabad dominated by the two BBs and their cronies, who cares?

@Dr. Salaria, Aamir Ahmad why you people does not understand more people voted for NS and less for IK , why does he not accept ,he has a illusion that he is popular , all surveys were saying that he will not win more than 40 seats at national level , he did not even have candidates on all the seats , most of seats he did not even got 10% vote . without voted audit how is he sure that there was rigging..? as now uncle has given him green light , he is creating a reason for boots , we forgave him for supporting musharaf but this time no room for error...he should be tried on article 6...

My PTI frineds , does IK sons are coming to take part in the azadi march..? any reason why not ..?

Khan sb you can rather blame me for it. I voted for you sadly!

@Iqbal Khan It would appear that some of us have chosen to live in fool's paradise. So be it. When did you visit KPK last?

One can see how Sharifs" illgotten money is being well-spent on media houses and media cells.

Thought he is different but Very disappointed with IK same politics of 90s .......DeliverDeliver deliver in KPK then think about somethingelse

We support you Imran Khan!!!!!!!!

The only outsider who cared sincerely about his original country was Ghandi. Imran Khan spent his youth in England and now claims to be a well wisher of Pakistan. He just wants a share of the golden pot. He will not be any different from all the corrupt politians. Imran khan used to come running to the US for donations for his hospital, what makes anyone think that he won't come running to the US to get donations for his own bank accounts just like everyone else.

Islamabad and Pindi are in Punjab, then be ready to face Gullo butts of Punjab. Shame on you by insulting the police force of Punjab!

@Afro..You are absolutely correct. I like him too but he talks the talk but doesn

Biggest loser in this game would be Imran Khan if he win army will not trust him. if he loose PPP will be reward by establishment. What a way to go Imran Khan or should I call Bhasani.

Why does he want violence and destruction and military rule.He should perform better in KP and table a bill in Parliament for electoral reforms .Nothing requires destruction.His own MPA in Karachi has been proven to be involved in rigging and removed.Not a single word from PTI.Proof of rigging provided by JI his ally.Sense should prevail.

@Hasnain Haque Had there been real police reforms in KPK, IK would not have stated yesterday that we can also arrest PMLN workers in KPK but we wont do so. So much for "No political interference" in KPK police.

@democrat Where did Imran get this money from?

@Nomi First tell us how a mob can restore a retired judge?

@Sultan Alvi, Canada u live in Canada and can idealise whatever you wish, facts r different

@Hasnain Haque he was saying corruption will end in 30 days. did the promise come true

@Danish Anjum the most ill informed comment. electricity distribution system reform, this is not provincial gov issue

If blood is shed it will be entirely on Imran's hands -- there was absolutely no need for this extravagant highly divisive egotistical rally of Pakistani bikers.

Good bye PMLN, Good bye PTI and PAT. Hello Martial law! Courtesy of Vowing man IK.

You all commentators are as confused as the rest of us. This is because of our unpatriotic misdeeds in electing these Frankensteins and trusting them. Please elect, if you ever get a chance next time, people who will do good to you. We always elect monsters with ugly backgrounds and then cry for the rest of their terms. We need to blame ourseelves for electing these kind of thugs.

Imran's DELUSION -- his "Barbadi" march may precipitate army intervention -- on Imran's behalf -- to depose Nawaz Sharif the third time -- and install Imran Khan as the new prime minister of his "Naya" Pakistan.

Really interesting situation.Imran Khan wants to do joint march with Qadri who does not believe in any system and wants to make sure no midterm elections are carried out.Instead he wants to clean everything by his Inqilab council and widespread killings.Imran Khans friends like Sheikh Rasheed have many times openly called for military intervention .His own party members were important ministers in Musharaf martial law.He himself was supporter of military dictators referendum.Jehangir Tarin who is his major financier earned billions in military govt.How will than NS govt be responsible for martial law when his political allies are opening calling Army and he himself wants to be part of Qadri game.

Is IK doing an Arvind Kejriwal here? Becoming greedy and wanting more without performing in what you already have. I think IK should deliver in the province that his party is ruling presently. May be at the end of 4 years he has enough to talk about and people have something to judge him upon. And I bet if he would have delivered even 50%of what he promised, people will surely elect him. Bring change by performance and not by Tsunami. A Tsunami is anyways a destructive and negative word. He should better try to bring in streams of change within the social and governing structure so that people are forced to think of a viable alternative when the time comes.
