1. It is wonderful that you live in Pakistan, because then this is more important to you know than to the rest of us "inferior beings" living overseas. 2. I know it is probably presumptuous to gauge tone from a post, but I am almost certain that yours is more of a celebratory tone.I don’t need to read anything because I live in Pakistan.
The protests are not even a drop in the ocean. They have zero presence and impact because the numbers are insignificant and nothing is going to happen in the near future either.
Basically, after the May 9 treatment, PTI supporters ki hawa nikal gai hai.
In previous years, when PTI was backed by the establishment, their protests would shake the entire country and its impact would be felt in every nook and corner.
Now that they are not being protected & funded by the establishment, their protests have zero impact.
Put 1 and 2 together and you will see how alarming this is. Why do you think this is a cause to celebrate? Are you really proud of how the military junta in Pakistan is so successfull in crushing protests, demonstrations and the general will of the people? Is that really much different from previous eras where they suppressed similar opposition launched by PML-N, PPP, etc? Because like you, I lived through several PML-N and PPP governments when I used to be a resident of Pakistan and I do not recall any of them launching a successfull campaign against the boots.
Bottomline is, most of us want whats good for the country. Living in Pakistan and wishing well for the country are not mutually exclusive. But wishing well for the country and celebrating the demise of a free political movement are.
