The disaster caused by the lawless feudals and tribals controlling the state machinery, does need such a purging upheavel to the end. All the civil society has to back it for the future of the country and its people.

Amazed, Y are u calling them Qadri Supporters.... they are not asking for government or seats or money like our conventional leaders. I m not Supporting Mr Qadri.. but i must say as a Pakistan he is projecting the nation there, I wish i had some time to stand with them not for them , but for PAKISTAN. Those people are representing Pakistan voice regardless of whatever nonsense is spoken by Government personals or government paid private media anchors! Long Live Pakistan
