So if IK has called of the dharna then why is he still calling for people to turn up tomorrow? I am confused, someone clear it up for me.
This is to celebrate the fact that Supreme Court has not only accepted the petition (which had been thrown out previously) but also formed a commission, questioned NAB's performance on this issue and case will be heard on daily basis with next date being 3rd Nov. I think the jalsa is being held because some people are already in Isb and this is being held to show them that their movement did make a difference.
According to many reports dharna has been called off due to not enough people having turned up for tomorrow. Even if what you say is true Nawaz and supreme court may make this case drag on for ten years. I think PTI and IK have been outsmarted, again. There is nothing to celebrate tomorrow.
I'm so disappointed, thought army coup is coming but IK got cold feet. Even Tahir-ul-Qadri said "I am shocked and I have no words"
I thought IK learned his lesson after the first dharna but maybe now after this humiliation, he will think 100 times before calling another dharna. But knowing IK, he will probably call for another dharna in a few months.
[MENTION=138254]Syed1[/MENTION] Einstein's definition of insanity and all that?I don't understand IK either. He invites people to attend in hundreds of thousands if not millions then ends up doing nothing. It is so very cruel for him to build the hopes of these poor people promising them he won't settle for anything less then Nawaz Sharif's resignation only to come to some other agreement. These poor people coming from all parts of the country give up a lot to be there then are left repeatedly disappointed. I don't want the military to intervene, either IK should get Nawaz to resign or stop cheating the people. Now the agony will continue indefinitely until the court comes to some decision possibly taking forever. IK and his Insaf people should put up or shut up, permanently. Now if the decision goes in favour of Nawaz he will be on the streets again only to return back after another agreement is made. What a joke! Then he will make another speech trying to convince people that he has been successful and victorious.
If Sharif's reveal the truth, they will shown for who they are. Or do you want them to lie to the SC?
So today, Imran said that he does not care about his voters and vote bank in Punjab. What sort of an absurd statement is that?
If you don't care about your voters, who are you claiming to represent? He has completely lost it.
[MENTION=133397]WebGuru[/MENTION] please shed some light.
I saw that Shahzeb Khanzada program i am posting that clip below. There is a context Shahzeb was asking him about the choice of words Khattak used can hurt your vote bank in punjab so Imran reply was straight i don't play for the gallery i do what i think is best "or jo mera zameer kehta hai". He backed his party leader and KP workers here who suffered the most (if have seen the scenes) they were emotional at that time so he back them instead of running away as a leader and putting everything on them like Nawaz did for his brother saying "Josh e khatabat main shehbaz zardari ke baare main wo sab bolgaya tha".
If people of punjab think he hurted them supporting his leader from KP they will reply back in elections but what Federal and Punjab govt did to CM KP was unbelievable and it never happened in our history. Just imagine if Khattak also acted stupidly and asked his police to fight against Punjab police when they attacked his rally and that too by firing from Punjab inside KP (Haroonabad Bridge). That was an attack on federation by PMLN. Even the people with no soft corner for PTI were bashing goverment for handling this issue.

It is a very irresponsible statement. Imran as usual shooting from the hip without thinking through and exercising pragmatism.
In my opinion, he is clearly upset over the fact that for the lock-down, he did not get the support from Punjab that he thought he would, which was one of them major reasons why the number of protestors were far below his expectations.
Nonetheless, such statements should be avoided. It is an irresponsible comment to make regardless of the context because such statements can be easily taken out of context. Already on social media, a lot of Punjabi PTI supporters are getting offended.
NS is not going any where.
IK will have to wait for next election.
(he needs to give break to his party and start dharna stuff few months before election, he is spending his goodwill carelessly)
Massive massive crowd!!!
[MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] maybe you are in the US and aren't in touch with the ground realities.
"IK didn't have enough numbers hence he did U-turn")

Have you seen the tactics Punjab and Federal govt used in Punjab and Islamabad to make the lockdown a failure? Even Musharraf never used this much force against his political enemies when he was King of this country. Nawaz returned home after 8 years and there were not even a 100 supporters on airport and roads to receive him.Looks like you don't know the difference between a jalsa and a lock-down. He has good enough numbers for a jalsa and we see that everywhere in the country, but this time around he didn't have enough numbers for the lock-down because people of Punjab didn't turn up like he thought they would + last time around, TUQ had a lot of followers of his own which helped as well.

Snaps are misleading as crowd is on Highway...unlike Minar-e-Pakistan (meP) ground which is spread out 360.
From the snaps, people covering area equal to 5% to 10% of MeP
Minar-e-Pakistan was the biggest Jalsa of Pakistan's history according to many old journalists who have covered fatima jinnah and bhutto jalsas. The interesting thing is whenever they say people are getting tired of IK and he is losing support he come up with another surprise. Raiwind Jalsa last month surprised many journalists and PMLN leaders because all thought IK is losing ground and support and he will be exposed in Raiwind jalsa where he is was on a solo flight but people from everywhere went to Raiwind to show support for him and make it a historical jalsa.
Kudos to my pathan brothers, if us Punjabis( not all) cared a little more for our country and a little less for our pocket, this **** would be in jail, not running the country.

If Punjabis didnt support PTI , they still do , PTI would have been a nothing party. Amidst of all the beradri and chodrahat system in punjab, PTI still competes with noon league despite irregularities in the elections. Punjab has brought twice PPP to rule in center.
I may be wrong but there is less Punjabiyat in Punjabis than Pukhtooniat in Pukhtoons. Just imagine if only Imran was not a Khan. KPK either votes for Mullahs or the Parties like Anp other than that and so does sindh for sindh centric parties. Punjabis get a lot of flak but we are not all that bad.
Now if we stay away from this blame game there are actually feudal and tribal lords and the fact that we allow industrialists to be our politicians who bind people to vote for them. since the beginning every party is filled with such punks. I read somewhere that Quaid e azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah once said" meri jaib mein khotay sikkain hain".
Not what he said . Please do not distort his words . He said that he doesn't care for vote bank politics and listens to his Zameer . He may be a bad politician but nothing wrong with what he said there.

Interesting point to note Punjab police looks disappointed (talked to a few of them) because FC and Islamabad police are given a 50% increase in salary while Punjab police were totally ignored although they made new records the way they were beating PTI workers and arresting them from their homes everywhere under our new civil dictatorship.
PML-N of course used tactics to derail the lock-down, any part in their stead would do so. However, it is true that the number of people was below the estimation.
What is the objective estimate of the number of people today though? PML-N sources will swear that there are 5,000 people and a 1,000 policemen, while according Junooni sources the figure is in excess of 60,000.
As usual, seems like the reality is somewhere in between.
You're not going to be any more objective then they are as far as that figure is concerned given that you're on the other side of the fence when it comes to Imran Khan
That is why I am not stating any figures because I don't have exact information, and that is why I'm asking WebGuru who is one of the few objective PTI supporters on this forum.

Wonder why there has not been any announcement from Gallop Pakistan for ages now? You will see plenty of surveyors announcing their results when people really get tired of him
Wrong on the whole especially the punjabiat part.
Punjab didn't bring PPP to power. South Punjab did which should be a Seraiki province anyway and should get its freedom from Punjabi hegemony
There was one by pildat a few weeks ago KP was again on top this year?
I thought I'll listen to Najam Sethi and see what the government funded journalists have to say. He was saying that there were hardly 10k to 15k people.
Even government ministers won't claim the turnout to be that low.
Man come on don't sit on live television and lie blatantly all the while acting as if you are objective and neutral.
People shouldn't be so small that they get bought for do chaar rupay.
Government : 10-25000
Independent Sources : 40-50,000
Pti : 100,000 plus
My rough Idea 70-75,000.

Why people like Shaharyar Afridi and Imran Ismael come to talk shows when they can't answer the criticism from multiple directions which mostly includes all the other panelists?
PTI should only permit those who can explain party position. Ali Muhammad Khan, Asad Umar, Arif Alvi, SMQ are some of those who can convey their views effectively.
As i said earlier the Nooras are running scared and don't feel in control , if as claimed the Sharifs are clean then just produce the paperwork and the case will be closed and IK will be finished.
I speak of the November 2 lock-down. He estimated a figure of 10 lac and ended up with far below that number, which was certainly not enough to sustain a lock-down of the capital, and it played a big role in establishing the 5688438431th U-turn of his political career.
Looks like you don't know the difference between a jalsa and a lock-down. He has good enough numbers for a jalsa and we see that everywhere in the country, but this time around he didn't have enough numbers for the lock-down because people of Punjab didn't turn up like he thought they would + last time around, TUQ had a lot of followers of his own which helped as well.
I'm going back to the U.S. on Monday inshAllah.

You should be watching me, you should feel threatenedThis song from Michael sums up how IK and NS.
I think it's because there are too many channels now and every channel is running 3/4 daily programs from 7pm to 12pm and every party want coverage but there are not enough people thats why almost everyone is sent without thinking too much. Media cells of the parties decide the programs and party leaders to appear in those programs thats why Chohan and other MPAa and small leaders of PTI only appear on small channels like Sach and Roz news. But i agree with you there should be a strategy and more sensible people should appear on these programs. Ali, Asad and Alvi are the best examples.
This is one of their worst traits, waste billions and billions from tax payer's money on media, political campaigns and bribes![]()
You should be watching me, you should feel threatened
While you sleep, while you creep, you should be threatened
Every time your lady speaks she speaks of me, threatened
Half of me you’ll never be, so you should feel threatened by me
What you have just witnessed could be the end of a particularly terrifying nightmare.
It isn’t. It’s the beginning.

I watched couple of minutes of Naya Pakistan today and was amazed at the irrelevant and random answers from Sheharyar Afridi he himself ceded his ground.
Instead of the link can you put the actual video please, i couldn't do it on my phone. It sums up the relationship between IK and NS at the moment.
Here you go brother:

We have even seen N league advertisements even in response to random pti jalsas in cities with taxpayer's money.
Not the first time just a few days ago he faced a similar situation when the anchor started criticizing the leadership for not standing their with workers when police attacked their youth meeting and also for not coming out of bani gala to stand with sheikh rasheed so instead of giving answer to that question he started talking about kohat jasla of NS and how PTI workers protested there (he is from Kohat). Sawal chana jawab gandum is a better example for him.
PTI should now use that collected money to buy the data from panama papers just like denmark govt did they spent around $1 million to to get the data and find the tax cheaters.
Exactly, he is worse than Chohan. Chohan is by character blunt and outrageous but Sheharyar is supposed to be calm , sensible and logical. Whenever Sheharyar or Imran Ismael begin to talk i anticipate pti's chitrol with an irrelevant and ambiguous response. Opponents simply don't need to response at all.
Why do they need those reports? The royal family have themselves admitted that alhamdulillah, Masha' Allah.................those and that properties named in Panama are ours......... SubhanAllah.
For the rest of the individuals they might need it but Badshah salamat has also explained the untiring effort and genius of his father in amassing those properties in the parliament.
haha i still remember that mashALLAH subhanALLAH planted interview with javed chI was actually surprised because before that interview i never saw PM sons coming on media but well after 1 we all got the idea why it happened... I think there will be more data and small details about royal family that wasn't published. There were too many names in Panama Leaks so it wasn't possible to publish everything on the website thats why govt and agencies are buying data.
Who are you to call someone objective or not?
You are the same person who opposes Imran Khan because of his matrimonial issues. Talk about objectivity.
No matter how they twist this, it's game over sir.
Panama allegations are either true or false. Let's dissect it ;
A) Panama corruption is true.
>>>> This means Straight forward legal actions.
B) Panama corruption is false and property belongs to Sharifs rightly and legally >>>> This means at some point there will be evidence that assets declared to Election Commission ( now or in past) were incorrect. And court has already disqualified some MNAs wrt disparity with assets.
What PTI has done is that they are not playing into hands of PMLN who wants siyaasi shahadat. One has to admit that contrary to common concept, IK is way too smart for a Pakistani Politician.
As of now PTI 1 & PMLN ( + Allied) 0.
''In SC Investigative journo Asad Kharal stated that 99.9 % of govt docs fake. That is why NS shd resign or he will influence institutions.''
Yes you read that right. 'Asad Kharal' of all journalists.
You got it wrong brother Asad Kharal is one of the 5 petitioners in this case thats why he is being mentioned because he is part of the case (i also do't agree with most of his stories). PTI, JI, Asad Kharal and 2 more parties are the petitioners in this case while Sheikh Rasheed is appearing in another case that's about PM disqualification on the basis that he hid his assets and 9 MNA/MPA were sent home for the same crime.
Aside from everything, I think Khan sahab should at least control his foul language. Yesterday he was making fun of Rana Sanaullah's looks. It really shows his mentality and obviously it rubs onto the Junoonis as well.
Now the first line of defense will be that Showbaaz Sharif also uses foul language, but what has that got to do with Imran? He is supposed to be dignified, he is an Oxford grad after all, even if he got admission on Sports Seat and passed in the third division or class (as the liked to call it back then in Oxford).
