Imran Khan sets 30 days deadline over US drone strikes

[WAQAS119]

Cant you see his taliban style of protest?

Taliban style of protest is what you saw in Mumbai....! This is a peaceful Dharna.

Excellent work by PTI. Civil disobedience is the way to go.

Imran can be Anna Hazare of pakistan but it requires massive youth support which can force army and GOP to think again.

It's not a question of 'forcing' them. It lets the GOP and army resist American pressure by saying "we are a democracy and this is what the people want".

The American media can't fault the Pakistan army or government without looking like hypocrites.

I think we are seeing it daily in Pakistan.....so why to remember old Mumbai?
BTW you dont understand the context of my post. That was on a light note.

I think both the scenarios are same to an extent. Are you trying to say that GOP is doing all these without interest?
Its forcing government to act for people. The only difference is GOP has to act against the interest of U.S while GOI has to act aganist its corrupt ministers will.

 

[Leader]

IK addressed and asked PTI workers if they wanted Marvi memon to join PTI, a roar of agreement by the crowd..

So, Imran Khan has his own title song. . .

- - Lets see what is going to happen next. . He says that if drone attacks don't stop then next station is Islamabad.

he clarified his party's demand; 30 days to stop drone attacks or else PTI will block supply routes of NATO at different strategic places,

if still drone attacks are not stopped, PTI shall march towards Islamabad...

Has Imran Khan also given some sort of time line or dead line to the Govt. to meet up their demands.

If Drone Attacks do not stop in one month we will head to Islamabad: Chairman Imran Khan

This is essentially a test of will between the people of Pakistan and the US government. The GOP is almost irrelevant. It's actually a sweet deal for the GOP and army because they can throw up their hands and say "this is what the people want". It now forces the US government to play hardball and risk further inflaming the anti-American sentiment in Pakistan. It raises the political cost of the drone strikes significantly.

The US has to decide between drone strikes and NATO supplies. It's one or the other. Not both.

Your thoughts are giving me a sense of how weak GOP actually is. Drone attacks are infact an attack on sovereignity and respect of Pakistan. Afterall its innocent citizens are dying. Do GOP require an excuse such as these dharnas to protest against U.S? Despite of its willingness to curb these attacks it needs some sort of public help.
Yes you are right in saying that GOP will use this protest to save it a$$ from U.S pressure and diplomats but doesn't it reflect the impotency of GOP?

I'm surprised. There's almost no coverage on ARY, Geo and Dawn, only the ticker at the bottom quotes him sometimes.

As of this day, the government has become irrelevant and a mere rubber stamp for the elite and the US. People who had been criticizing Imran Khan by saying that he has no political future need to look again at the sheer number of people supporting him.

Members of other parties have arrived so that they are not completely forgotten in the coming days. True people's representation scares even the high and mighty.



A message for GOP:

GAME OVER​

 

[Leader]

the other party politicians coming to dhana meant one thing : PTI is acting on wishes of people of Pakistan, and other party politicians feel that their party heads are not working with accordance to the wishes of Pakistani people, so they choose to stand up at PTI's platforma to register their protest.

Do you want Taliban style civil disobedience when tribes get bombed or you want PTI style of civil disobedience? Your choice. And BTW if want to call a democratic protest a civil disobedience than its your choice. Be it Civil Disobedience, we want change....!

There you go, enjoy guys... These are the morning/afternoon ones and the ones a while ago.
