PTI calls for countrywide day of mourning after activist killed in Faisalabad
236
FAISALABAD: Violent clashes erupted between supporters of the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) in Faisalabad on Monday, ahead of Imran Khan's call for a 'shutdown' of the city.
The PTI has called for a day of mourning on Tuesday in protest against the killing of a party worker in the clashes.
Khan vowed to party supporters that the death of Haq Nawaz, "would not go to waste" while he strongly condemned the PML-N government of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.
Following the deadly clashes in Faisalabad today, the PTI has also called off talks with the government.
Khan had earlier promised that the strike in Faisalabad would be the first of a series to target major cities in the country after leading a months-long demonstration in Islamabad that shut down the city and sparked clashes.
The party has demanded the prime minister's resignation over their accusation of fraud in the May 2013 election that brought him to power.
He says the party's Plan C is to build pressure on the government because they wanted accountability, adding that all parties unanimously agreed that rigging had taken place during the May 2013 election.
Monday's violence has complicated an already tense political situation with both sides blaming the other for the current impasse.

PMLN goons are creating mess. Protesting against Govt. is opposition's right. PMLN must play mature, they are trying to die their own death by creating mess. Using force against the protesters is against constitution and PMLN always does so. Emergency in hospitals, use of heavy police force, use of water cannons, etc. it's all indication that PMLN wants to spread mess.
They are utilizing state funds, machinery and forces to push out PTI. The more they push, the more it will emerge. Shareef Brothers will never understand it coz they don't have intellectual.

What they are doing is not a peaceful protest its a riot, and then they expect protection from the police force. You are illegally blocking roads which you were previously reprimanded for (Mall road). Once again Imran Khan is leading from the back as bodies fall in the name of his nonsensical ideals and rediculous plans. 3-4 more bodies need to pile up before the clown makes a grand entrance. He speaks of other first world countries and the due process of events, while he forgets when he himself calls for anarchy and expects protection from the government.

The issue currently is the robbing of people's mandate through massive rigging of Election-2013. As regards the corruption by Zardari's government, NS had promised during the election campaign to recover the plundered wealth of the country after coming into power. Instead of acting on his promise, he and his family members are indulging in loot and plunder with more vigor and haste.

I pray to my ALLAH for creating the justice system in Pak whr people have to die for seeking justice and giving Hidayat to Shareef Brothers. The erosion of this corrupt system does require some anarchy and martyrdom. Why don't people note that for 1 year IK had been trying legal means? and Still the Govt. is not intended to go for vote audit. Can our so-called, politically influenced police arrest a man with gun in the picture. Insafians are unarmed, it doesn't mean they cannot have it. Who is police supporting? they are surely against PTI.
Oo ALLAH! Grant Imran Khan the success in removing this corrupt system from the root!
Will die a martyrdom till I get justice. I am with IK's cause. Govt. is corrupt, everyone knows for sure!

@rehan --100% right! I hope that other Pakistani citizens can also open their eyes and see the reality. The anti democratic forces and agencies, with their PTI puppets, have succeeded in their plan today and now soon they will impose martial law regime and appoint Imran as a PM under military govt. History will see and judge.

The more things change, the more they stay the same. What is the difference between MQM and PTI now. Nothing. Shutter down hartal. Day of mourning. Aitajaj. Dharna. Disruption. Chaos.
My wife voted for PTI last time and I voted for PML N. We live in Karachi. Tonight, as she was stuck in a traffic jam at Shahrah e Faisal on her way home, because of PTI, she swore she will never vote for PTI again.
Well done IK. Like Zardari you are your worst enemy.

Little do both realize that when the Boots come, both Imran and JUI will be marginalized and Pakistan will be setback another ten years. How sad for Pakistan that we never learn from our mistakes.

It is our right to demand audit of last election because some of our seats were stolen by PML N and it will be proved. In democracy, there isn't anything beyond accountability. So if PTI asked for audit then it should get one.
I think, it is immoral to be criticizing three young people who were killed for expressing their views. They were taking part in peaceful demonstration. We, PTI, supporters dance and sing our ideology and dream of making Pakistan better as a country. It is neither sin nor crime to do that for love of your motherland.

For me Imran is a puppet, dont get me wrong i do not like Nawaz either and want him out of parliament too but this is not the way to do it. Imran called for shutdown of Faisalabad , where was he when his workers were fighting or been beaten or getting shot at? A poor innocent man has died, has Imran approached his family, ask them how they are. Do they need food clothing etc. How are they preparing for his funeral? do have money for the land to burry him? I dont think so. Imran asked for Faisalabad tobe shutdown, why wasnt he standing side by side his workers.. The fact of the matter is he isnt any different than Nawaz, zardari or any other politicians.
Our so called Leaders would be enjoying themselves in their luxuries and poor people are dying for their mess and chaos.
I ask people on both side of the fence, what are you fighting for? do you think that this help you personally? No, it doesnt. Poor guys as it says " Low level activitst " was killed and no one would give a damn. They will protect for another day or so and that would be it. He might be the sole earner for his family, who knows.
So , wake up you guys. Stop bashing each other and work for a better future. @ Imran, Nawaz , Zardari and all the dirty politicians fear the day of judgement .

In my opinion , there is nothing new or different about PTI with laundered lootas. It's the same old politics of self interest. IK talks about leading from front but where were his kids, tareen's kids, Mazari's kids, SMQ's kids, Kasuri kids when the poor kid from Fisalabad took a bullet on his chest. Enough!!!!
