This weekend proved to be a politically charged one as the PML-N, MQM and PTI all took to the streets in rallying for or against each other. The PML-N declared war on Zardari, while the PTI promised to dethrone the Sharif's and the MQM marched in support for the PPP - photos by agencies.

Very impressive show by the PTI and it is clearly evident that masses are getting united under the platform of PTI but they need to focus on party structure and organization to capitalize this massive support.
As far as MQM rally is concerned,this kind of massive shows has always been a trademark of this party but they also held responsible to raise the vocie against common man issues.

Great rally by Imran Khan. Please Please support Imran Khan as he is only person which can save Pakistan. Please dont forget to vote him, the main key is to vote him, not just supporting PTI. We are equally responsible as we do not vote in elections and the blaming politicians that they are corrupt, so please vote and select the honest ppl. IMRAN KHAN NEXT PRIME MINISTER.

Is Imran Khan going to get rid of the Feudal Lords? If he doesn't start from there, I don't expect any big change. They will always be there, even in Imran Khan's Cabinet, with their tribal and centuries old traditions, and they will pay no tax on land either.

The biggest problem is not corruption; it is the feudal system. The feudal lords sitting up there want corruption in the country to keep it weak for them to rule.

People are desperate, going through hard times, looking for a guiding star.May be he can bring some hope. By himself he can't do it - dumping regional prejudices ,nation needs to stand behind him.

Even Imran Khan wont be able to change the system much until and unless people mind set is changed. This change can only be brought by literacy. So lets provide education to all including girls as this will bring huge change.

Well.. nodoubt its a great victory for Imran khan. Personally i feel majority of people have come for change. Pakistan is at stake. There is no consistancy in imran,s leadership.. He is bit emotinal. He should use his mind also in politics not only emotions. still we are in the hands of handfull of people. Our fate is in the hands of only few people.Change should be in the betterment of people. It does mean to confront with rivals. Just work with devotion and with deep silence.

I am surprised the major news groups including dawn have not given the PTI congregation the type of coverage it deserved. It was one of the biggest congregation in the history of Pakistan and apparently the media is comparing it with PML-N and MQM rallies.

Although Imran Khan could prove to be a good and strong leader, it is important that this time real democracy should take root in Pakistan.
Therefore,PTI should win the next elections by fielding more and more honest and hardworking male and female candidates. Those who are against feudalism and those who are for the spread of basic education.
Imran Khan alone could not do much. I am saying this as a Canadian of Pakistani origin. Imran is great but let us get PTI in majority, in the next parliament!

Imran Khan is the only hope for Pakistan if the power brokers leave him to lead Pakistan to abolish corruption & Jagirdari. He is the only one who can expose and get rid of the corruption cancer within our politicians......surprise to hear speech of Sharif's equivalent to gutter level...Are we showing the world and our young generation that these levels of intellect are the guardians of this country...

well done imran saw some clips on TV here in the UK, he is the kind of leader Pakistan needs and has been waiting for, the youth of Pakistan should join him and show support for his cause.
all of Pakistan should turn up to support imran khan and his party this is the time for change and the people of Pakistan should grab it with both hands. if i was a Pakistani i would be out their supporting him.
Pakistan can be a great country if it has great leaders and support of the public , so all of you get out their and show your support for imran khan.

Imran Khan is indeed a hope for Pakistan. However, it is very depressing to note that his election campaign will ensure that PPP remains in power for the next term. It is a fact that the vote bank for PML- N votes for them as their track record for corruption is much cleaner than PPP. In today's Pakistan, there is a clear divide among those who hate corruption and hence wish to oust PPP. However, PTI is focusing its campaign on diverting the votes from PML-N. Existing PPP votes are hard to divert as corruption is a non issue for these die hard followers. Hence, we all know that victory is only possible if the principal based voters are bought togather i,e, PML-N and PTI stand togather in the next election. These two clean parties do not have a chance on their own unless they stand togather. The situation as it stands today is the best thing that can happen for PPP and I am sure they must be having a big laugh over it. If Mian Nawaz Shareif and Mr. Imran Khan truly care for the poor of the country, then they should stand above their personal ego's and join hands. Else they will be equally responsible for the future destruction of our country.
