As local news channels went all out in covering the grand event that was Dr Tahirul Qadri's dramatic arrival in Pakistan, Twitter users on Monday lamented that airtime consumed by the Pakistan Awami Tehreek chief should instead be given to the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) pouring out from North Waziristan.

Critics observed that the plight of refugees from the Agency that have been displaced by the ongoing Zarb-iAzb operation has been sidelined as Qadri's arrival has taken priority.
