The president of the PTI youth wing, Subhan Ali Sahil, said that the present government took advantage of the judiciary to come to power and had set records in the history of the country in corruption. “The present democratic government crossed the limits of inflation and the people are forced to sell their children because of poverty,” said Sahil. “The people don’t have food, clothes or homes. They [the government] have made the people naked and hungry.”
According to the president, the PTI rally in Karachi on December 25 proved that the youth of Karachi trust only Imran Khan and they stand united under his leadership.
Ashraf Qureshi, the president of the Karachi division, said that the party men will besiege the houses of politicians who looted the national exchequer and will not let them leave the country. He said that prices have tripled in the last four years of the present democratic government. “Our revolution will bring justice to the people,” he said. “Everyone will enjoy equal rights. It is a guarantee for a better future for the youth.”

This is a good idea. Fully support it. Politicians should be scared of public scrutiny, only then will they deliver.
It will be a good step. We however should not forget that it is the ruling alliance of PPP, ANP, MQM which is responsible for current mess in the country. Also, two parties worth mentioning are JUI (F) which has supported the alliance in past, and PML (Q) which is still providing life to this alliance.
Totally agree with PTI for corruption they should besiege NIne zero and all parliament members . For inflation they should beseige all military areas including FATA,
PTI has already descended into criminality even before entering government!
Might be a good move, and may change into a country wide movement. Something similar to occupy wall street movement. Would help PTI enormously if it could channel this people anger. An organized move should target the head honchos of people responsible for PIA and Railways.
It is unfortunately the right thing to do since our leaders don't heed the silent and quiet protests.
Finally some burgers have risen from their sleep. Lets start with Shah Mahmood Qureshi then.
@Rehan,..and those who 'understand' economics have brought the country to the brink of a disaster. So, it's better to learn and do good than to be a learned destroyer.
Love it!
Will PTI besiege nine zero? How about uttering some words in a rally before taking physical action.
These 'youth' clearly have very little understanding of Economics. Regards, Rehan
