Bolta Pakistan on Aaj news – Long March – 14th January 2013

do you know anything about this cleric, toramana?

[Shehbaz Khan]

Faye: This guy is a Canadian National. He was here with Nawaz Sharif back in the 90's later when General Musharraf came into power he contested in the elections and than ran away to Canada once again. Now all of a sudden a few months back he is coming back and telling us that he has a plan for Revolution in Pakistan? LOL

1) Just imagine, the guy said he is a leader and is leading the March of thousands to Islamabad infact he himself is sitting in a Bullet Proof Container while leading this march.

2) Back in the 90's he said that Nawaz Shareef or someone from his party attacked him and tried to kill him. The blood when later tested was found to be the blood of a goat not a human being.

3) His agenda in unclear. Like he doesn't have a plan, like what does he want actually I don't know. He says it's a march against the government and it's corrupt people. Now tell me if he is marching against the govt why he allowed MQM a ruling party to join hands with him? Like I am Marching against you but I've you by my side in the march.

4) He is unclear about the things he is saying. Like all the things he is asking for is already there in the constitution. So if he want to implement all these things than why can't he simply contest in the elections come into power and do it.

5) He doesn't know what if he doesn't fail? What if his march is a success? And what will be the scale to know whether it was a success? The dismissal of the govt? That's already going to happen, the dismissal in the next two months I suppose so why March for it?

6) To add further even his religious statements are contradictory most of the times. Just to give you an example, He said that he saw The Prophet PBUH in his dream and the Prophet PBUH told him that his age will be 65 years (I don't know what exactly did he say his age will be). Now I'm a Muslim if I see the Prophet PBUH in my dream and he tells me that my age will be 60 years or whatever Will I still sit in a Bullet proof container? Or behind a Bullet Proof glass. I thought stupidity has it's limits.

so, a publicity stunt only, shebhaz?

[ComradePashtun]

Shahbaz,

Don't you think he yet another ISI accomplice? Doesn't that somehow answer what is unclear to you?

[torkham]

Just another opportunistic molla.

[ComradePashtun]

So screw mullahs, if I may so say in other words? :-)

[MostafaM]

Since the military is the only functioning institution in Pakistan and since it is diverting US help towards militants and their training and equipment projects, why doesn´t Mr. Qadri march against that?

Oh waite,....wrong question.

At peace with it´s neighbours, without a "foreign threat" Pakistan wouldn´t be able to unite a diverse population under one umbrella of "Islam".

I take my question back.

^^

[Toramana]

do you know anything about this cleric, toramana?

Yes, I have seen him talking. He is more an actor than a scholar or a genuinely spiritual person. He in interested in self-promotion.

[Shehbaz Khan]

Shahbaz,

Don't you think he yet another ISI accomplice? Doesn't that somehow answer what is unclear to you?

Well If he is supported by ISI than I think both the ISI and Mr. Qadri failed. I've not found a single supporter of Dr. Qadri who could answer those some questions that I raised and many others.

The problem is that the people of Pakistan are fed up of the 'men in power' their government. So they will walk with any human being saying something against the government. Given the circumstances the government had a beautiful chance of delivering alot which was wasted.

I somehow doubt Pakistan People Party too along with ISI. Like they gave him all this security and welcomed him in Islamabad. Many of the constitutional experts said that his demands are un-constitutional so they should simply kick him out of the country.

There is also another safe exit for the govt, i.e., they should at once announce the care-taker set up and the Election schedule and all of these people will run back to their holes.

[Friend]

He is not a credible and trustworthy person.

[Khostai]

he sounded really evil when he spoke in that container, he sounded like Hitler who was shouting in one of his speeches....

[Shehbaz Khan]

Haha and the dramatic container march ends!

In the words of the senior analyst Talat Hussain,

'The Nation loves to be fooled again, again and again.'

None of his demands were actually accepted the govt officials visited his container and that was it. Whatever the govt told him was not because of this Container march at all.

[Khostai]

He schould be called "Tha container Mullah" lol
