PML-N protest movement: ‘This is a war to save Supreme Court’

Another patwari rally using poor tax payers money for Sharif brothers personal political gains

Recommend

I hope PMLN tries to protest and fails miserably. I know it is important for the country that this government goes but I also know that anything from PMLN is equally dangerous. They are only making people a fool and I hope they are not able to fool the people this time.

The survey findings are eye opening for every party’s election prospects specially for PTI & PMLN, it gives ample room for both to progress.

For PMLNs point of view, Its not too bad as overall they still leading in public approval ratings for next elections (46% for PMLN, 34% for PTI),

PTI only leading in the age group of 18-25 years where she scores 40% compares to PMLN’s 38%, still encouraging for PMLN as some might suggests a land slide in favour of PTI in that group alone.

However PTI gains could not be ignored as it increased from Zero and therefore quite encouraging, other parties like PPP and PMLQ will be wiped out completely as per the survey findings…..PMLN need to speed up their constructive work and man to man contacts right intact to win the battle in the end fortunately time is on their side too as well.

Another important reality of the survey is the respondents belongs to

Urban Areas: 81%
Rural Areas: 19%

I mean, The results quite in favor of PMLNs when one thinks that it was widely acknowledged earlier that urban areas would be Pro PTI for sure.

@Pakistani Muslim…They survey you mentioned is only for the city of Lahore..now Lahore consists of 81 percent urban and 19 rural areas..so kindly when you quote some thing take some time to have a full knowledge of it..the latest survey done across pakistan by IRI.the recognized international survey firm holds PTI vote bank at 31 percent nation wide compared to 27 for PML N and 9 for PPP…that is the survey Government have banned IRI to publish official but they have send the reports to all the political parties for that..in Punjab PML N is 41 percent and PTI 33 percent..so the whole propaganda that PTI will cut only noon ;league votes have failed miserably as the only loosing party in terms of vote is PPP all over pakistan including punjba..let the election dates come and INSHALLAH a new dawn for the nation pakistan will rise..chanting aye aye PTI…in KPK PTI is number one with 41 percent followed by ANP 15…IN SINDH and Baluchistan surprisingly PTI is number two…so IK and PTI are playing very smartly by targeting PML N as the next election are one to one between tow parties and if PTI wants to get majority they have to win Punjab where its Nonn leagues government..so when we PTI targets PML N its becuase we want majority in Punjab to get majority in center..PPP is finished..no need for any one to destroy PPP….the battle is between noora league and PTI….well done all the workers and members of PTI..keep it up..we want this momentum until the day we wee IK going into the PM house…INSHALLAH..Recommend

@saeed:
I doubt your numbers. The only battleground that is up for grabs for PTI is north and central Punjab. And this is where PML-N is going to be pinched. All this noora Kushti of PML-N is to guard these territories. Other than those don’t expect “Tsunami”, if you don’t want your dreams shattered.

Realistically speaking, next government will have PPP, ANP, MQM with the support of PTI (or PML-N). The one which helps the former in the center, will get government in Punjab (most likely PTI), and the isolated one will be totally wiped out.

Lahore is one of most educated cities in Pak. and IK started his campaign with 200K gathering in this city. If Lahories are not favoring IK, that must be a concern for him.

Recommend

Although it sounds good, this survey result is of concern, both for PML N and PTI.

For PML N, Lahore got max development funds and projects, yet the voting percentage dropped from 55% to 46%. Probably they can relax with the fact that if Lahore being most liberal city is still with them and has not fallen in IK fever, there is room for vote bank increase in rural and conservative areas.

For PTI, Raising from 0.3 to 34% is a big success, yayy! However, their best time with Lahore is probably over (not every time they can arrange 2 lac gathering) and yet their vote bank is 34%. Combine that with political experience of PML N politicians and PTI can be in further trouble in elections. They must get their think tanks on this, Now!

As long as you do not attack the SC it is all fine. But this is not the SC headed by Shah, it is headed by Choudhry and there are no active cases here against you. The PCO court heard you loud and clear and is afraid of your street power and Qabza group. Be assured there would not be any active case against you in the current setup of SC, you are their political arm, heart and soul.

PEW international puts IK at 68% Favourabilaty up from 52%
NS is at 63% Down from 71%.(PEW Global attitudes, 2011).

Zardari is toast though. 11% down from 20%. Gillani 37% down from 59%.

More useful are ranked survey. You Gov (July 2011)asked who was “best suited (first & second choice) politician to lead Pakistan”.
77 percent of the people surveyed considered Imran Khan as the best suited (first & second choice) politician to lead Pakistan in comparison to 11 percent for Nawaz Shariff, 13 percent for Prime Minister Gilani and 1 percent for Pervez Elahi.
IRI (March 2012)which I think has methodolical problems with their polling puts it down so:
Pakistan Tahree-i-Insaf (PTI) was leading with 31% votes, Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz) (PMLN) is the second leading party with 27% votes and Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) popularity remains intact at 16%

But the real challenge is to translate this into votes, which needs organization, candidates.

@Pakistani Muslim:
lol, the survey is about Lahore with a sample of a bit less than 5000 souls, and Lahore has always been PML-N’s main area of battle, even so because of Shahbaz Sharif who wants to make it the “Paris of Pakistan”, forgetting that Punjab is not limited to Lahore.
So that’s actually encouraging for PTI, but which is even more encouraging is that it’s criminally leading in KPK (pure domination), is #1 in Balochistan (and still can get vote if it makes alliance with JUI and Balochistan’s national parties, which it will) and is #2 in Sindh – PTI, a new party, is #2, that’s a landmark considering how Bhutto is revered there.
I just hope that PTI does more work in Sindh, there’s a potential to grow, and I wonder if the 44% for PPP haven’t been sampled in some remote rural area of Sindh.

But I guess that general Pasha made PTI popular in KPK and Balochistan, two provinces particularly known to love ISI, not even talking about the Quetta jalsa.

The only hope for the Pakistan Nawaz Sharif!!!God bless him.I can only say one thing about the PTI supporter that revolution cannot be materialise only on FB n twitter nor through music concerts but with the practical approach and this is what IK lacks. We sindhi will vote for someone who is patriotic with vision and has track record!!!

All those that call this a patwari jalsa, it was held in Taxila Sindh not Punjab. So gov;t machinerycould not ahve been used.

Two very conflicting claims are being made by two political opponents but yet partners in govt. Gilani is claiming that he is guarding the constitution whereas Nawaz is claiming in saving the Supreme Court ie judiciary. A tricky puzzle to decide who is/are correct amongst the three ?

Both of you must be living in a cave together thats why you have the same opinion of a failed leader who doesnt have any sense to speak what, where and when. By The Way Revolution came in Egypt, Tunis and Libya through awareness. And this awareness was raised on social networking sites like FB and twitter.

I wonder, does the supreme court want or need the help?
Probably not.
It’s a voter stunt for all parties jumping on the issue.

@Loyal Sindhi:
Good comment. PML N is a million times better than PTI.

Just look at the PTI reaction to Gilani convivtion; instead of aksing Gilani to resign , they are saying PML N should resign.

What sort of logic is that????

didnt IK announced a civil disobedient movement against the fed gov in Oct 2011, mind telling me wat happened to that??? grow up … talk about drama bazi…lol

:) its hearting to see Shariff’s worried and intimated by a PTI – a party which even does not has a single representative in assemblies today. Well done Khan, well done PTI – the raise of PTI will be the fall on PML-N, and why not after all its will be the same democractic system that Shariff are trying to protect which will prove them expensive.

I however appreciate the symbolic gesture of Shariff’s – at least they have decided to come out on roads if not the assemblies, but i fear too little too late as they are already standing in waist deep water – Sunami is raising, fast and is not just limited to a few provinces!

A new sick minded excuse to bring people on road. People come to rallies to eat free food nothing else. They are dying with hunger and these people want them to protest to save SC which they attack and humiliate themselves.

What is intriguing is why Nawaz Sharif has abandoned his policy of restraint vis-à-vis the PPP-led government, a restraint informed by the bitter experience of the military taking advantage of the politicians’ falling out to intervene and pack up the democratic system altogether. The restraint shown by Nawaz Sharif over the past four years may have earned him the sarcastic jibe of acting like a ‘friendly’ opposition, but it now appears he has allowed himself to be persuaded by the hawks in his party (led by Chaudhry Nisar and backed up by younger brother Shahbaz Sharif) to go all out against the government. The timing of the change is also intriguing, given that the country is in the run up to general elections. The opportunity for the turn has been presented by the contempt conviction of the prime minister by the Supreme Court but the PML-N has displayed its impatience with the legal and political process to be gone through before the verdict can take effect. Nevertheless, the argument that a street agitation may destabilise democracy, if not provide once again an opportunity to anti-democratic forces to wrap up the system per se has not lost its validity, historically or at the present conjuncture.Recommend
