This is absolutely the most important event in ISL this year. I hope that the chaos is cleared and the honorable Chinese President is made to feel comfortable in our country. Nothing should come in the way of our everlasting friendship between Pakistan and China forged against the crucible of a common enemy.

Rather than shifting meetings to else where dharna should be shifted else where.

Here comes the plane full of $$$$'s and the only guarantee is that a hand full politicians and military personnel will get richer whilst pakistan and its people will be enslaved for generations to come. The deals will not favour pakistan as china only do business on their terms which are only possible in climates like unfortunately pakistan finds itself. Pakistan finds itself in a difficult position and mr china will take advantage as the deals will not be transparent. God bless the decent and honest people of pakistan.

A constructive frame of mindset, passion for developing economy, peoples' life style, progress in infrastructure, increasing production volumes to be able to compete with other markets, transparency in deals, clarity in guidelines, planning for next 10 years would undoubtedly support Pakistan to a better place than now It would help stand on its own feet alongwith other nations. Peace and resolve to commit to peace are essential to any development no matter the cicumstances are hard and trying.

If IK and TQ do not move in the next couple of days then both should be removed by force with or without Court order.Sanity should prevail now and Govt must pick up courage to remove these two obstinate trouble makers.Even if there isno visit by Chinese President even then govt writ should be restored ,non action is making Pakistan a laughing stock. No govt allows protest marches etc to go on for more thancouple of days, deal or no deal.It seems only the govt is willing to keep on talking while these two mosters are blackmailing the govt with threat of intervention by the third force which is very unfortunate .If the third force is genuinely neutral then it should come & remove these protesters as these mobsters are not willing to compromise.
