Pakistani cricketer-turned-opposition leader Imran Khan staged a major rally in Islamabad on Sunday, November 30, 2014. Imran threatened to shut down the entire country with protests in his bid to topple the government.
Supporters had poured into the capital from all over the country to attend the rally, making it one of the largest turn-outs in Islamabad since the start of the sit-in in August.

one must commend and appreciate PTI that has brought families to the rallies. Before this it was all gangs of MEN in the rallies.
They have set a good example in Pakistan which will improve eventually.

This is what fascinates me... ... People, classes or groups who never took part any political activity and were utterly indifferent to what was happening in the country now actively participate in political affairs. Now they seem to have hope that there is a chance that their involvement could change their lives and their country. It is simply an Imran Khan phenomena.. and really phenomenal.

First time in the history of the nation, encouraged by parents,youths are taking lead, voluntarily participating in the protest march, not as a rented crowd. Time for perennial dynastic politicians to take a hard look, there is a new wave of self awareness among the masses.

PLMN not only denied Pakistanis a fair vote but sabotaged the formation of a formidable opposition in the parliament. That's attacking the very essence of democracy and NS has to answer the nation for that.

Imran's message has no credibility when you see the man left in the photo (right of Imran) is Hamid Gul, the Taliban, Al Quaeda supporter. You can not be associated with a man like Hamid Gul and preach democracy or talk about the rule of law. That's a joke.

People who believe that all of Pakistan's problems will suddenly vanish if Imran Khan becomes PM are in for a rude awakening. If Imran comes to power, someone else will try to pull him down like he's trying to pull Nawaz Sharif & Pakistan will be back to square one.

What is absolutely amazing and a drastic change from the past is that the privileged class/middle class is coming out in droves and masses to fight for the rights of the poor. This is an unprecedented change that the corrupt ruling class are failing to comprehend.
Pakistan Zindabad!!!

I feel that Imran Khan is the leader of masses and one day he will succeed in his mission.He is an honest person and thinks always for the betterment of his country and fellow citizens.I am surprised,why he could not succeed in the last general elections. Due to rigging? To some extent but not the only reason.I think that he could not succeed partially due to not sending his paigham in deep Pakistan. However,this time he is able to publicise his mission,s message to the maximum number of citizens in Pakistan.In 2018 Genaral Elections ,he is certain to occupy the highest executive post in Pakistan. By that time,he will able to learn the seriousness in the politics.

People come to PTI rallies, simply because they want to. PTI is the only party in whose rallies you'll see people from ALL walks of life viz the aged and infirm, the infants and the educated youth. Unlike other political rallies where people are brought by force to attend, PTI rally is purely a voluntary effort. This is the first time in the entire history of Pakistan that you'll find people of all ages and from all strata of society attending a political gathering.

Are PMLN and PPPP representative of the poor? if YES, then, the must be thrown out because in the duration of almost more than 30 years they haven't improved the lives of the poor. Is PTI representative of the rich? if YES, then, I proudly say that in 1 years time they have improved the lives. And further IK says he will collect more tax from the rich and the RICH still come along with him. That means, really the country is going to be balanced by setting of the differnce between Poor and Rich. See, If IK Govt. comes every poor will be rich. Cheers!
