They must find a negotiated settlement with the activists.

Good job PTI shutting down Pakistan. We all thankful to you for this very patriotic act. I hope Pakistanis understand the implications of this great politics. Keep telling the lie till people start thinking that it is the truth.

Welcome to the naya Pakistan.

another city under siege to satisfy the ego of one man

It is disappointing to see a forced shut down of Lahore being called as voluntary shutdown. If you block the key city Road then how can you call it a voluntary and with public free will. I still member country wide shut down calls (multiple) by PNA in 977 where entire country (at least Punjab, KPK and Urban Sindh) would have shut down without forced Road blockage. IK and PTI is still my preferred choice/lessor evil, but I cannot support this hypocrisy i.e. calling this shut down ‘voluntary’.

Shut down to rebuild.....no, rather let's impose ourselves on others by blocking roads in order to get PMship for an impatient IK. Although there is no cause and effect whatsoever. Just banging pots and pans hoping prayers will be answered by....khakis? So frustrating having to see this once respected man take advice from negative sycophants and repeatedly diminish his moral high ground and his adoring fans. Age doesn't bring maturity or stature or sense...at least not to Pak politicians. How unlucky we are.

Let the talks between PTI and PML-N continue!

When infinite greed for power meets extremely low IQ, you get IK. And with a person like him in the lead, a party is ever bound to end up like a mob.

Good job PTI. Keep it up. Don't let the country succeed

Not sure what's the point of closing down businesses? Why hurt he economy? why hurt the bread of a poor man How does this hurts PMLN?? beyond logic

all the best, dawns best uptodates... waiting positive outcome at the end, Lahor labor hay, daikhna hoga keys karwat laita hay

I hope PTI won't blame MQM the next time MQM decides to close karachi. This is BAD POLITICS

Pray for everybody's safety...from reckless behaviors of our politicians...

"Shut down to rebuild." Sounds very much like the US army in Vietnam: "Destroy in order to save."

PTI Lahore Lockdown will be successful. inshallah

Of course the PTI is fascist!

This not 'Naya Pakistan' that people want. We didn't cast vote for PTI for this immature act. Focus should be on bringing electoral reforms and not on burning cities and inciting people for mass killing. All efforts of PTI are focused on toppling this government and going for another elections which is not in favor of a stable democratic state.

What about the people's right to free passage, business and education? With blocked roads, isn't that like negating a fundamental right?

Obviously fascism is stronger in this country than democracy.

Karachi partial, Lahore looks partial so far and Pakistan will surely be 25 percent as PTI has no presence in Balochistan and interior sindh. What Mr. IK will do after this humiliation of plan C, He will beg to Sirjul haq or govt to accept any thing even minor for face saving. I do not know who is advisor to IK or he doen't listen to any one, but for sure he is in cul-de-sac and no where to go from here provided NL will not do any thing stupid like faislabad.

What nonsense. They have no right to stop people from going where they want to go. All they should have done is ensure voluntary closure by participating PTI supporters. This is coercion and criminal and sets the worst possible precedent for the youth to learn from. Imran khan needs to be put in an insane asylum for propagating anarchy in the guise of change and exploiting the genuine frustration of a wronged nation to create havoc, anarchy and hatred. Shame on PTI and shame on Imran and shame also on the using government for allowing this farce to go on because of their guilt.

Thanks you Imran Uncle. I was not prepared for my exams and today my school is closed.

PML- N govt, not letting investigation for election Fraud 2013 and stopping Pakistan's Tribunal to do that, is clear indication that there was Fraud in Election 2013.

Thumbz down to PTI call.

It is credit to Imran Khan that he has stood up to remove what is known as the scrooge of corrupt who in the name of democracy effectively has disenfranchised a large part of the Pakistani population. The protest is entering its 5th month and with the Court virtually washing it's hands off dealing with what is a matter of grave public interest, Imran has taken to the streets. It is his sheer determination to let truth surface as to the extent of electoral fraud and one can only wish him well. God bless Pakistan and Imran Khan, the truth will eventually prevail even in a country such as Pakistan.

You are a rich man IK. You can afford such a luxury life style. Please think of poor people who earn a daily living. You are locking down entire cities just to fulfill your ego, but do you know how many babies will remain hungry today, and many will lose life for not being able to reach a doctor just due to your lockdown. Had you even an iota of care for the poor masses, you would never have done this. Sorry to say, you lost our support.

blocking of roads,pelting stones on roads,forcing people not to go for earning their livelihood,is only to satisfy ego of one man i.e.imran khan,who wants to come in power by destroying the country.

I hope nobody gets hurt like Faisalabad

Flop show by pti.

Shame man, same old politics. Same old fires.

"PTI was engaged in the capital sit-in for a bigger, national cause." and that cause is to forcibly make Imran Khan the PM of Pakistan. What a noble cause.

Back in 2013, I voted for PTI. Now however, each passing day convinces me more that Imran Khan is the worst thing that ever happened to Pakistan.

why do they have to block the metro. We depend on our salary at work not like IK who gets his money from the royals in London.

"Self-reverence, self-knowledge, self-control, These three alone lead life to sovereign power. Yet not for power but to live by law, Acting the law we live by without fear; And, because right is right, to follow right Were wisdom in the scorn of consequence."

Now it is the time to settling down things with PTI, they are exhausted, disappointed and frustrated, the call for new Pakistan did not bear any fruit so far, the mantra has failed.

Shutdown for rebuilt. naya Pakistan without corruption and injustice get soon

People of Pakistan are with PTI in this movement of Justice and so are the Lahoris. Pakistan Zindabad.

Shame on PTI. Shutting down your own country for petty political gains.

How is this not coercion when you stand in the middle of the road or on the tracks of the metro bus?

Shame on PTI workers for burning tyres on the roads to create pollution. These so-called educated are behaving worse than un-educated.

Behave you guys, soon you shall have Pakistan shutdown.

PTI is completely unaware of his responsibilities in KPK and couldn't carried out any Development/welfare work and claiming to Development of Pakistan.People should know them and send back to KPK.IDPPS are looking for them,Local Bodies Elections are late.KPK official work is completely stagnant due to unavailable of their CM and Ministers.All Minerals workers are out of job due to their new Minerals Policy made for their British Friends. Please check their past and decide.

We overseas Pakistanis fully support you Captain!!

There could not be a worse feeling than this, seeing young boys blocking roads, torching tyres and creating nuisance for general public. It took me one and half hour to get out of the Lahore, there is no police on main Jail Road, Canal Road and on Tohkar Niaz Baig, where PTI workers are blocking the traffic and creating mayhem for common citizens. Interestingly no tyre burning or road blocks are made in Cantt area, I believe PTI workers couldn't dare going there and doing their protest with Fouji Jawan Brothers... Shame on Imran Khan, Shame on PTI and Shame on Punjab Govt for listless response to this mayhem

why these so called builders of a new Pakistan burning tyres and causing pollution? they need to be educated on this by their leaders (assuming the leaders know themselves the harms caused by the burning tyres!)

We will always support IK.

We are with you

Pathetic Strategy!!!!!! From an insane egoistic person....

Imran Khan is at it again! The sufferings of Lahore masses I am not for Nawaz Sharif but Imran has nothing to offer beside hateful speeches and threats.

Captain Just move on ...! We are with you.

We LOVE YOU IK

@JAS : Do you have any strategy which works ? Please share in detail how to get rid of corrupt culture in Pakistan. Remind you this is all happening as PML-N refuse and keep taking stay orders for recounting of 4 constituencies. Ayaz Sadiq is prime example............

Long live Imran Khan. A supporter from overseas

@JAS if NS is so good, why does he not allow re-counting of votes? it al started with 4 constituencies and NS ego did not allow this to be settled in a timely manner and now this is getting out of hand

Who says Karachi was peaceful protest?Blocking roads and forcing children to not to go schools and the people to not to go tow work is not peaceful. Its legal to deny people their basic rights of earning their livelihood. It was a gundagardi by the so called educated.

It all started with a just demand of audit of ONLY 4 constituencies... History readers will cry in disgust on the collective wisdom of PMLN leaders!

@Samad Chaudhry IK may not have anything to offer from your perspective, but he can be offered a fair hearing of his complaints. it all started with 4 constituencies and NS and the govt did not allow him that basic right - justice......handle that and close the matter....and I will be with the PMLN ....

@sk Your support would not enough to save IK if he unfortunately becomes PM and faces similar situation. As you sow so shall you reap.

History will remember that this all started with 4 constituencies but the PMLN Government and NS were so ego-istic that they could not address this basic right of justice.....and now they are willing to negotiate when things are getting out of control ...if only they had the maturity, honesty, sincerity and the foresight to see this 6 months ago......

IK we are with you. Keep the pressure on. These corrupt mafias will never make our country progress. It is time for all the Pakistanis to stand up against them. They have made us slaves. But we will not let their children make our children slaves.

we are with IK; in a setup which does not allow basic rights to a common man, but allows the royal families to spend millions and break the law whenever they want.....this will eventually lead to disaster or anarchy.....unless somebody stands up and demands justice. We are with you IK.

Due his failed stratgy and lack of public support he has now gone mad and causing disterbance to ordinary people to earn their livelihood .

PTI show is flop, whatever they are doing is forceful and not by the will of people.

Those who are expecting that IK will be a better choice than NS are living in a fools' paradise. He will be much worse.

We were not able to go office, as PTI worker send me back.Same was the case for labour class too.

After the miserable failure of Plans A, B and C and with D destined to be a failure before its inception, we are looking forward to Plan E ("E - X - I - T)". Keep it coming !! Shameful indeed.

Shame on Imran Khan, Shame on PTI and Shame on Ijaz Choudhry for this stupid mayhem. Try to show some sagacity. After all, it is our country. Will such activities bring down the government? It would be better if they just hold Press briefings daily in different Press Clubs or on TV talk-shows. They should wait for 2018. Let the govt work peacefully.

Wow Naya Pakistan

@hm Not psychofants but "frenemies" because immature and naive people venturing forth into the unforgiving world of politics from the confines of a cricket ground require die hards to guide them to their doom

Well, From beginning i was in favour of pti but there plane C totally changed my mind.Our youth is burning tyres and blocking road, Is this some type of tabeeli he wants to do....Kiya ye hia NAYA PAKISTAN..

Peaceful Protest! Burning Tires and blocking roads is it not a Crime?

@sk : I guess a few overseas guys support PTI's plan C because they are not victims of shut downs of business, roads, hospitals, schools and transportation! Elite class cannot sense how one poor feels when he/she is uncertain about availability of next time meals. Such affluent are dancing and face painting on roads; and supporting from overseas. It is an unprecedented show of hypocrisy where first you block all the roads and say "thanks for keeping your business closed".

WOW! New Pakistan will be like today in Lahore. IK is punishing people of Pakistan for voting and trusting him. Govt. is like always incompetent and reluctant to save free movement right of people of Pakistan

@jibran As PTI voter, I share your pain

IK delivers what he says. Imagine that he is the PM and says Pak will become self reliant truely democratic country, he will deliver it. To reach to that level, we must get rid of corrupt, liers, riggrrs and goons who are ruling the country like badshahs. Thank you IK for becoming my voice for justice and bright Pakistan.

@sk we overseas do not support IK any more

@Nizamani PTI keep going. Well done. I was not supporting PTI earlier but now I do.

The worst thing that happened to Pakistan is IK. When Pakistan is finally on a road towards democracy he wants to derail it. He should go and show progress in KPK.

Pti is doing a great favour to nation and country by standing up against corruption and injustice we will succeed INSHALLAH

Calling strike and making common people lives difficult could damage IK popularity rather any damage to NS and his business. IK should serious think about it. I know a lot of people hate IK now, due to his attitude.

Good job Imran Khan this the moment or these people will sell Pakistan piece by piece. This is the only way to save Pakistan. The western world is behind these thugs, remember the era of Z A Bhutto Zia was bought in by the Americans to get rid of Bhutto now it will be the Pakistani people that will get rid of NS and Zardaris. Keep it up, the honest and hardworking Pakistanis are with you.

Well done pti

So we have created the punjabi MQM. Same agenda, keep the most popular party of the time in check. Ppp in the 80's and pml today. Unfortunate that I voted for this guy. I along with all who still blindly follow him and other establishment backed entires such as MQM are to blame.

Lifafa commentators are not on strike!

@jibran do you see GOVT agreeing on electrol reform. Can you make them agree ?

@The concerned Did you see jutice been done since May 2013 ?? Every constituency appeared with fake vote then why GOVT still in place ?

So Dawn, you seem to be back to old business with this campaign journalism! Tendensious coverage and not a single positive comment about today's move for a fundamental democratic change!

IK lost my vote too and my respect................

@Dr Zhivago And what responsibility does the government have to prevent all this from happening in the first place? All it needs to do is to hold fair and impartial inquiry through a judicial commission, and not try to circumvent the issue or mere eyewash letter to CJ or hope that everything becomes normal on its own! It is not IK action but the govt's reaction which is the cause of this chaotic situation. The govt is solely responsible for preventing this situation from worsening.

It is a forced shut-down, roads have been blocked forcing people to stay indoor. The support cannot be gauged like this

Zaeem Qadri statement: He cited the examples of a women supporter slapping the vehicle of a Lahore resident JOKE of The DAY!!

@Ahsan you have to lose something to gain something in the long run.Nawaz group are are lying and are so corrupt. by building roads and metro you are not building a natiin. To build a nation you need education, healthy nation, you need doctors and so on. you need law and order, and justice. Healthy nation and fairness, the rest will come.

Two wrongs do not make one right. What PTI is doing today, and have been doing for few months is clearly wrong.

PTI has been very instrumental in drawing crowd in various larger cities of Pakistan, but the attendance in Lahore seems marginal, may be the time has taught the nation the covert motives behind the current bicker that carries not substantial evidence, rather, the politics of allegation, maligning the spirits of the nation, driving youth towards violence ushered means of demonstrations, depriving supporters of the insight of tolerance and wisdom. Pakistan is changing on true foundations of introspection and accountability factors of the politicians. Thanks to media houses for carving the stance of the nation in determining the true faces of the politicians.

We Pakistanis are not with you IK.....

in peshawar kpk capital it takes atleast 1 hr to move between cantt and city area -- courtesy pti - who have stopped work on half kilometer bridge since 1 years. The CM is always sitting in dharnas to save his job.May Almight Allah save us from this type of naya pakistan were one man's ego and ambition is supreme.

We have new Terrorist Groups in Pakistan ---- PTI and PAT

govt should take action.....where is state???????????/people are forcely stopped 4 going to offices...from skuls and colleges.....

Welldone IK and welldone PTI, the only way to deal with badmash company is this ,,,

@nasir With Violence ????? Shame

PTI=MQM, disrupting the country's progress. Its not the way of protest rather it is "Gulluism" in fact, I have been supporter of IK but his such extreme acts proved him an immature, selfish & proud. Although he wont b corrupt like other politicians but this way is itself a corruption.

@sk Obviously, you are quite far away from the troubles people are facing due to sit-ins !

we wellcome every time to you IK

What IK is doing is not good to the country but if Govt failed to stop this nonsense they are equally not capable of ruling the country...............this drama needs to be stopped immediately one way or the other, people are fed up of NS, IK, Zardari, and every political leader present/not present in the country..............time for Raheel sharif to intervene.

Why PMLN does not open bags, we don't accept this injustice. Our vote is stolen and they don't want allow election audit. Shame to speaker for hiding behind stay orders

Good going Mr. IK. But....... we don't deserve you. Despite unprecedented output like World Cup, NUML and SKMU we doubt your honesty; and will wag our tails at the so-called populists.

Some one says bad politics, Pakistani politics is bad for last 35 years. Whats good in it? Where have you seen good things happening in Pakistan? Bad politics and bad politicians will be handled and thrown away this way, no matter if this likes someone or not.

Very nice move by IK... The man just can't come to grips with the reality so is trying to create his own.

@Yousuf47 London God bless IK and Pakistan. The statement is self contradictory.

@jj does problem of Pakistan will end if there are no Zardari and Nawaz sharif? Unfortunate to see real face of so called educated class in Pakistan. "Have"are again shutting down livelihood of " have not". We do not need naya Pakistan.

Hate Imran

Imran is frustrated even he knows as per constitution any judicial commission can't investigate election without any constitutional amendment...making fool

IK used each forum, parliament, judiciary, election commission but could not get justice as are these institutions are partners. Being pushed to wall, what options may one has. This is fruit for though for the so called state institutions that such lawlessness and selected justice would lead us to civil war.

Why is Nawaz Sharif shying away from setting up a commission under Supreme Court ? Assuming election was fair & transparent, the facts will come out. Right now MNS's popularity is dismal otherwise he would have come out of cocoon . For the sake of the country, he should order mid term election.

@sk Oh yes, you don't have to suffer at his hands.

From where the money is coming to spoil business and progress of our dear country can any body guess !!!

@Shehzad People here are more concerned about their livelihood. So who bothers or cares if Imran is frustrated? He should vent it at his own bad luck and immaturish ambitions which have driven him to a point where his daily humiliation is becoming an unbearable burden for him.

Imran khan you are a waste of time for this nation. please get LOST

An illegitimate government should be dragged out of power if required... Masterstroke by the Captain... the only way for NS to salvage whatever is left of his legitimacy is to form a transparent commission to investigate rigging... jab chori naheen ki toh chupte kiyoon ho... NS your time is up...

What an irony when the handlers of Gullu Butts preach on morality and democracy!

PTI has been very instrumental in drawing crowd in various larger cities of Pakistan, but the attendance in Lahore seems marginal, may be the time has taught the nation the covert motives behind the current bicker that carries not substantial evidence, rather, the politics of allegation, maligning the spirits of the nation, driving youth towards violence ushered means of demonstrations, depriving supporters of the insight of tolerance and wisdom. Pakistan is changing on true foundations of introspection and accountability factors of the politicians. Thanks to media houses for carving the stance of the nation in determining the true faces of the politicians.

Ego, stubbornness, lust for power. Shame. I voted for IK but now have started to hate him . I want peace and love in my beloved Pakistan.Ik is an immature politician by all standards. He can b a good administrator but not a leader

three people where killed as they did not let the ambulance pass. This is called murder first degree. But I am sure PTI will twist and turn the facts as they always do. Greed to power makes you a murderer Imran Khan How much further do you want to go ??

@Humaun Kabir he did not use any of these in an effective way. He only likes street power as he get people alike him to support his folly

I am for IK and Tehrik e Insaf and I would like to stay in his camp but way of workers' of PTI doing against their mothers, sisters and lady journalists. Absolutely intolerable behavior. People are not believe in lip service show us some actions those who are doing itit

Not a very gud impression for future governments who ever they are

@G.Nabi same propoganda we saw against Mursi in Egypt?

Nawaz please recount the disputed constituencies and stop accumulating illegal money It is simple and straight forward but you are digging a bigger hole every day.

@Atta and you keep supporting the corrupt and keep living like slaves all your life. We want a clean Pakistan and will keep supporting IK and PTI.

Imran you are responsible for the deaths of innocents in Lahore and Faisalabad and also for the people who were not able to earn for their children eat due to your so called shut down.

@adil look who is saying!!! more correctly PTI's badmash is calling others badmash

@parveez I think the facilities and capabilities provided to you to write your expression on this site is the answer. You can write english due to pakistan and that pakistan is without this cricket's fast bowler. Pakistan is providing education and slowly increasing the rate of literacy. How can this sport man can increase he literacy rate of pakistan, I want to see him just increase the rate in KPK. Why is he dancing in punjab and karachi? because it is the better pakistan and this sportsman can not see this.

@imran ali It is not ego my friend. Think logically, Nawaz and Zardari have screwed Pakistan. Don't you see in 30 years they looted your and my Pakistan.

@hm Why dont they open the rigged bags. Is it difficult. IK had to come on streets.

Well done, Bravo

And i say this again.... People go through our history and go through world's history... nations weren't built in a day neither were they built by sitting at home and cursing each other. Each successful nation today has gone through some bad history and its people stood up for change. Today its PAKISTAN,,,. For 67 Years we have been expecting a country which has peace and prosperity and law which is one for all but did we get any of that?? it just simply blows my mind when i hear PML N saying things like strikes are hurting economy and people are being robbed of their fundamental rights?? I ask, what fundamental rights have PML N or PPP or any other party have cared about? when they call for strikes, is it in the benefit of the economy? PPL Wake up ... and if you want your rights then stand up for it. Nobody is going to give it to you served in a platter, These Noon guys are Privatizing our country's main assets, giving permissions to royal families to hunt animals which are internationally recognized as endangered. I mean seriously guys, animals have better rights in developed countries than us pakistanis in pakistan. Now is the time or never. your future is in your hands.

@Javed Agha Whose agenda is it? Future will reveal. Plz listen that He is not on street because of your innocent view that has been widely projected by them and all have fallen prey to.

Shutting down the city so Imran can have a victory march is bad politics.

@imran ali All India Muslim League neither demanded independence nor agitated against the British sarkar. Aiml manifesto is uninspiring and insipid. Punjab particularly never struggled because it was under the grip of British knights. The Rajpurs, Arayans and other Muslim sects never cast their vote in favor of Muslim League in 1938 elections. All India Muslim League passed in the hands of feudal lords of Punjab, Sindh, KPK and it never became a party for the Welfare of the Common man. Imran Khan's credibility is unchallenged whereas Sharifs, Zardaris are having sycophants and looters in their parties. Imran has etched a niche in the minds of the people.

@Javed Agha Whose agenda is it? Future will reveal. Plz listen that He is not on street because of your innocent view that has been widely projected by them and all have fallen prey to.

PTI should be ashamed of what it did to media today in Lahore. Torrence is disappearing from society and culprit is Imran Niazi

On to plan 'D'.

Quick Imran! Run to the next city! Take your rent-a-crowd with you! Bhag Imi bhag! You madman! LOL!

This is not a protest but a political terrorism. Blocking roads, burning tires, and closing Lahore Metro's track. What is this nonsense? I suggest government should take all necessary actions in accordance with the law to prevent this political terrorism. Enough is enough.

Punjab government spokesman Zaeem Hussain Qadri termed the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) as a terrorist organisation Has he lost his marbles?

You are a hero IK. God bless you.

The culture Imran is promoting he will fell victim himself and one day protesters will drag him on the street

Long live IK. Inshallah justice will prevail.

I was thinking about voting for PTI and suggesting my family to do the same. However, after seeing the power hungry attitude of IK, the likes of Shah Mahmood Qureshi and Shaikh Rashid standing shoulder to shoulder with him and a complete disregard to all forms of decency shown by PTI workers, I have changed my mind.

@Nasir Yeas and along with people like you.

Shame on those people who are not standing by khan. I guess khan should realize that these people wouldn't change. If they wanted change they would have done a long time ago. I want khan to leave people of Pakistan and get some rest and have some time with his sons. God bless IK.

He is the Marie Antoinette of pakistan

PTI will not get my support after their shameful behaviour today, harassing women and not one person could stand up and throw the trouble makers out ? what kind of Naya Pakistan is this ? also due to their blockades 3 people lost their lives in ambulances, absolutely shameful, stop blaming others for your problems, no doubt the government is no better and they have their share of Gullubutts but this was the doing of your own participants, very ashamed today and very upset that IK did not take a stronger stance against such behaviour, i took part today but i will not take part in 18th due to this, Bye Bye PTI, you have lost a supporter today..

Sanaa Mirza was mistreated by PTI workers. It's showing extremism inside the party and disrespect for the women. Shame on Imran Khan and Shah Mahmood Qureishi.

I think we all know by know that it is Imran Khan and his following of sore losers who are creating anarchy. They have alienated many former PTI supporters such as myself. Imran Khan has shown that he is willing to destabilize the whole nation in his lust for power. Like many, I find his behavior immature and irresponsible which is why I hope this man and PTI never have a say in the nation’s future. He could continue to work within the imperfect system of democracy but he seems intent on Arab Spring type behavior that lead to the current situations we see in Libya, Egypt, Iraq and Syria.

I don't understand why IK is bothering these folks and the likes who have commented about the disruption to their lives and livelihood. Why doesn't he understand that they are OK with those politicians looting and plundering their hard earned moneY? They see no wrong in anything these politicians do. They'd be willing to sit and complain about it but when someone actually goes out and tries to fix the problem, they have issues with that as well.

3 people in Lahore died of his (IK) callousness and stubbornness. Is he going to protest against these killings?

IK is laying the foundation of intolerance in the country. Time and again PTI's workers have misbehaved with media persons who do not tow their line. I can very well see what kind of Naya Pakistan it is going to be. IK cannot see beyond his ego.

@AdnanK Pakistan needs to come out of the dark ages and sometimes things get worse before they get better unfortunately .. but this is how the world works and this is why people need to stand up for their country ..

This is unabashed anarchy. How can a political party behave like hoodlums.Once such methods become popular, as they are likely to, then no party, including PTI can rule. Creating chaos is far easier than governing a country.

Still the question is why govt is not ready to probe election 2013? what IK demanding is absolutely right. why not make the commission and close this all. What option IK have except this? where to get justice? Ayaz sadiq again avoiding recounting so does saad rafique and others.

@Arisha G ......I could not agree more!

@Asad .........well continue supporting Nawaz Sharif and Zardari then!. You will deserve what you will get.

How long Pakistani people will be punished for Imran khans failed desires .Its a s shock a country where terrorism is on rampage,law and order cant be mantained , PTI is allowed to take whole Pakistan hostage of its demands, definitely some big players are behind PTI as their vote bank isnt convincing.

I am amazed at the number of anti IK comments. I really cannot understand what some people in Pakistan want. First you complain about corruption, injustice etc. Here comes a leader for the first time who is standing against status quo and now you find faults in him too. Maybe you should wait for an angel to come down from the heavens or better still continue voting in Sharif's and Zardari's!

@Umair ........so whose got your vote now Sharif or Zardari?

@k.g.raja So you realise by that definition, what PMLN did in Model Town, Islamabad and FaisalAbad falls into that same category too, I hope?

Disclaimer:I do not support PPP,PML-N,PTI or any other party.I don't agree with whats been happening in Pakistan,but I must ask the people of Pakistan,what is wrong with looking into rigging? specially since 3 out of 5 people believe it happened, Just look at the findings at NA-125,what if it is true AND WIDE SPREAD? If the government has nothing to hide than they should allow it,its not that complicated is it? All this could be avoided,if the government gives the GO AHEAD.At the end,the truth will come out,if there was no rigging,than IK should move on,if there was rigging,than the government must take the right steps.As a Pakistani,our responsibility is to hold the government accountable,not elect them based on screaming matches and false promises.I know,its easier said than done.

@nk ........yes go and vote for Sharif or Zardari instead genius!

They are traitors who say about shut down,kindly pray all for them that Allah show them right path

Whole Lahore stand with you IK.We want Ik as new PM of Pakistan.

@adil By doing Badmashi on the streets, shame on PTI and their die hard blind supporters

Wow yet another show of solidarity of people of Lahore with Imran Khan. I think people have amply demonstrated their resolve for a better Pakistan tomorrow. I wish Nawaz Sharif had listened to the just demand of auditing only 4 seats. But he can not afford the truth be told otherwise NS and his league is doomed for ever. Unfortunately PMLn lives in the fools' paradise not comprehending that people of Pakistan have changed.

@Farooq Ali I heard, money is coming from overseas Paksiatanis and thru overseas Pakistani.

@Awais Ali It is not government's fault, need constitutional amendment and that can be done in the parliament where IK has zero presence. IK has taken a wrong route, because he was hoping to topple the goverment with the help of khakis.

One mans ego..... Shame on you IMRAN.....you have lost all moral grounds

How stupid and low you can go PMLN. Recount the vote. This is the fair and only just way out of it. You have ruled by bribing and buying Peoples in every walks of corrupt mentality. No more. Time has come for you to accept the truth. And follow the law start the recounting or you may not be able to run away to Saudia this time

What a charade! Blocking the roads and calling it voluntary shut down. If people are not able to reach their business, how can they open it. Apology after misbehaving is of no use.

My Dear Leader IK, When are you going to announce plan - E. Exit from this chaos and uncertainty. Regards

@Lucky Star was chief justice was set on post in parliament? nothing to do with parliament its tribunal who are responsible of giving decision in 4 months but its been 18 months due to govt pressure

@Dr Zhivago If Imran khan is not going to do this right now, who is going to stand up for the future of the very children that you want to save from starvation. You Dr Zhivago?

@Asad In order to make a perfect cup of tea, we need to stir it a bit! That's all IK is doing.

Well done Imran Khan, please go for plan D. if plan D do not work , please do the final strike. We will support you. You are bravo and deserve to be PM of Pakistan. We need PM like you, so there will be a peace in our region. Bravo Imran Bravo. Plan D for destination. Padma Lakshmi

Shame on you imran for making the joke of pakistan in he world, Cus of your rallies Road blockage innocent civilians died, poor ambulance services couldn't reach hospital due to Road blockages! Am not fan of any political party.. HUMANITY comes first!. Imagine if it was yr child rushed to hospital and the roads were blocked

@Padma Lakshmi I impressed from my Indian friend. yes, if IK become PM there will be a peace in region. No Pakistan / India war. IK will bring peace. We will open trade btw India and Pakistan. Bollywood can open branch in lahore, we will open fast bowler academy in India.

PTI has promised to break the status quo and free the country from corruption, reform the police and transform it into a Naya Pakistan. What are the options for PTI to do so? General Elections, maybe not, when we consider the inbuilt rigging in the system. Through this agitation i think PTI may be able remove the corrupt practices in election and polling processes that might give them greater number of seats in the next assembly so they can make a difference. What are the other options for PTI to bring about the changes we all want?

IK will end up soon with all of his alphabatic plans and will start in digits soon. Keep it up!!!

@Awais This is not "same old politics". No political party leader has ever attacked the country so relentlesssly, no political party has lied so shamelessly about a supposed "tsunami" of voters in the country, as PTI has. This is worse than any politics ever in this country.

@Moona Of course the one rigg votes is not facist.

Let's stop paying attention to this idiot

Why Imran Khan want poll recount? Nawaz Sharif has said it so many times that polls were the most transparent in the history of Pakistan.. so lets move forward ok?

Dear IK Sb is this you call peace full gathering/ Burning Tires, making pollution, making people life miserable. If you still in Lahore look due to smoke how much fog is and people can not drive. Thanks for your good work.

Where is Plan-Z?

Imran Khan doesn't get it. By PTI having to forcefully block roads, burn tyres, pelt stones and attack shopkeepers clearly shows that Lahore is not with them or the citizens would have voluntarily stayed at home. U can't force people to follow your line. Shame on PTI. PMLn should not talk to these traitors and let the expose themselves.
