What is your point ——-”"”"-it is an automatic invitation for the so-called “undemocratic and unconstitutional” forces to come in and fill the void.”"”"”——- so you concur that this cleric and an orator has come in to force undemocratic and unconstitutional means to implement his OWN LAWS and dismantle everything ———— and in four days see how democratically and poli–ticklishly he has an accord to superimpose his own will and nothing will happen if he does not agree with that is only a scholar of his intellect and ability can accomplish with infants and innocent in the cold outside and he in the heated armored container with all the looters at his side to announce an ARMTICE deal, whatever, who can teach an old scholar or learn from his conduct anything.

Millions of overseas Pakistanis like me, including our women and children, have remained in extreme anguish because of the ongoing hardship and impending thread to the safety of little children, women, men, young and old of the long march. Because all the Pakistanis are equally dearer to us irrespective of their religious, racial and political affiliations. If any tragedy would have happened to the participants PPP and Coalition would have not only lost the support of millions and millions of overseas Pakistanis but many times more within the Country. But with their great humanitarian and truly democratic approach and solution the PPP leadership as well as the Coalition leaders have won immense praise and cheers from their most worried and anguished countrymen,even from their hitherto opponents, all over the world. Those of opposition parties giving priority to their political vengeance and selfish interest by exposing their heartless and callous indifference till the end of the episode, have only been the great looser. Even from those who have always been their supporters, but who first being a Pakistani of human compassion. I salute to the participants of the historic peaceful procession ,for their unprecedented courage, patience and fortitude, I esteem each and every single participant of the long march sit-in procession much greater than all and any present political leader of our beloved Pakistan. With your so long, so patient, so peaceful, so disciplined and so democratic procession, and by your 5 days and nights continuous slogans against extremists, terroriists and corruption you have shown the true peaceful face of Pakistan and Islam to the entire world? The entire Nation is proud of you. God bless Pakistan

There is no army backing behind Qadri — he is himself a one man army chief, president, prime minister, election commissioner, caretaker government.

He just wanted some attention — he did not get in Canada — he got it from Zardari. Qadri is a happy Canadian now. Will come back next election time.

Democracy has its own way of correcting itself. It is more an institution than persons and it should be looked at it that way only.You can only tell a political party what kind of persons it should issue tickets by using your most important right: your vote. Period. Corrupt and inefficient people are weed out through this process. The most important institutions that can keep the elected people in line are Judiciary ( that interprets the constitution and tells right from the wrong) and media ( that educates the masses). Everybody else would be better staying off and should mind their own business, if at all they think that they have any and are capable of anything to do.

Who is stopping traders of Blue Area to open their businesses? Qadri protesters are not violent. They may be even good for your business if you open your business.

Why are you so keep to surrender your democratic right to vote out a corrupt government to someone else? What is the guarantee that person will also not turn out to be corrupt. Where will you stand then having already surrendered your right?
