The show must go on, with the accretion of new motives it gathers more and more momentum.The string-pullers are certainly unremitting.

There is not a single flag of Pakistan in sight at DPC rallies. Ask yourselves why?

They have designs of their own sinister medieval empireRecommend
Read carefully Maulan Sami Ul Haq’s statement, DPC has changed its stance.

Whatever it is, give them a break. They are at least better than the so called champions of politics who had no courage to even take out a rally on this issue.

IK and PTI should also join the DPC march, after all these are IK’s vote banks.

Bunch of extremists whose hands are red with the blood of innocent Pakistanis and they are now showing their selves as ‘Protectors of Pakistan’? What a pity!
Recommend
The closing of the route, and then re-opening, apparently without something in return (at least the nation has not been told if anything was gained by opening the land route, apart from the money the transporters may earn), has shown once again that beggars are not choosers. The whole episode shows that they are continuing to serve the master, not even at the same pay, but on a reduced one!
So what is this show by the DPC about? Once in the war on terror (thanks to Musharraf) they have no choice but to assist the warriors against terror in Afghanistan. As for the militants, of whose sympathiser the DPC seems to be, they should ask themselves what the militants have achieved so far, except killing innocent Muslims of Pakistan and Afghanistan!!

‘En route’ are two separate words, huh!

It is always disgusting to read the news of terror organisations holding rallies all over Pakistan posing themselves as the saviours of this country but in reality it is just the opposite. Such rallies unfortunately are tarnishing the image of Pakistan Recommend
Illiteracy is the main cause for all of this…

The Islamic fanatics were deadly against creation of Pakistan and now they are destroying it with their hatred and bigotry. No country can survive without other’s help, it is a give and take all around the world. Pakistan needs education and advancement and not medieval and twelfths century revival.
Recommend
Imran Khan must distance from these extremist fanatics if he wants to bring a change in Pakistan. Bringing a twelfth century rule is not a change but is a reversal.
Recommend
Please let all of them cross the border and then close it

Their stance is changing. Basic stance is SHARIAT in all of Pakistan. Nothing short of that will satisfy these people. So what is wrong with the silent majority? Are we all cowards and afraid that if we stand up to them , they will bomb us or shoot us. They will try but only if we let them.

A complete shutter down strike through out the country for a week will only bring down the government and army nothing less will make rulers realize their follies.
