BAHAWALNAGAR: Soon after Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan finished talking about looted money and the role of intelligence agencies, the PTI followers started a "pillow fight". The fun soon led to a serious brawl with some youngsters slapping and punching each other.
Prior to the pillow fight, PTI Chairman accused Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani of committing contempt of court just to protect someone who had looted people’s money.
Addressing a gathering in Bahawalnagar on Tuesday , Imran appealed to Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry to bring the “looted money” back to Pakistan from Swiss banks.
“The people of Pakistan are there to support you [Chief Justice],” Imran added.
Commenting on the role of intelligence agencies, Imran said these institutions should have no role in Pakistan’s politics.
Reiterating his call for change, the PTI Chairman stated that change of system is required and not just the change of faces.
“After coming to power, we [PTI] will bring a better local government system,” Imran said.
Adding to this point, PTI’s Vice Chairman Shah Mahmood Qureshi said that PTI will provide justice to everyone “at their doorstep”.

We Pakistanis are so confused nation. When MQM held the concert just after the women convection at Bagh-E-Jinnah, everyone started contradicting that it was a concert rather than a convection and women came there just to enjoy free stuff on the stalls and the concert. But when your so called Great Khan(IK) followers started this pathetic childish fight you guys are supporting him saying that it is just fun!!! i mean seriously GROW UP!
Seriously guys, how many of them were creating that problem, C'mon guys it was a huge "Jalsa", some 40-50 guys were creating problem, but Nusrat Javed in his program & other PML(N)'s Supporters are trying to make it a real issue.
I don't know about other places, But here in Sialkot PTI is gonna rock in the coming elections, Honestly speaking, these type of stories not gonna make any difference. :)
Express Tribune is an English version of KHABRAIN AKHBAR by Zia Shahid.
ET = Entertainment Trader
Never ever produced a serious news. ET you will loss your credibility soon, try to be neutral.
We need kukar fight at next rally.
Lol. PTI people using ET platform to bash ET. Let them expose their own immaturity. Clever, ET. Keep it up.
Ok.. maybe just me but where is the "SERIOUS BRAWL"?
ET trying to cook "FACTS".
whomever it maybe,,,,but where the Organiztion committee of the PTI.,,,,seems they dont have control over its workers...
its freedom of expression or its excitement of frstrated Awam from all sort of problems so nothing wrong with PTI Tsunami Badnami or Nakami :)
i am in Paris and i wanted to follow the three public gatherings of PTI and all i could get was this Pillow fight news on ARY and no other news and they showed Shabaz addressing a crowd of two thousand people for 5 mins... and Now on ET something very similar which shows only one man is distributing the same story line to all the media....And i am sure my comments will be edited :)
Racism in act of jounalism.....these so called english speaking high moral intellctuals of ET thinks that PTI is governing this dtupid country...why ET is so biased on one party....seriously u shld think and also read todays Talat Hussain colun regarding 'bikaooo Sahaaafat'
ET should have also reported about the jalsa.. and how many were there...??? It was a very huge gathering....
What's wrong with you ET???
What do you expect of Imran Khan? Is he a magician who can change this herd of uncivilized, uneducated, narrow minded people called Pakistanis just by his public meetings or by his presence?. People behaved like they would behave anywhere else in Pakistan. Is this the only thing you noticed in this Jalsa and made a headline of it?. I am sorry but this is real pathetic. It seems as if you are blaming IK for people throwing pillows. Anything that can ridicule PTI makes a headlines these days especially at this website. The guys is calling for a change that we all long for and you are happily making fun of him. If you have better ideas of brining change and have better people to suggest then come up with it. If not, please shut up and let someone else do it. If you dont have the guts to stand up to challenge this corrupt system then at least dont create hurdles for those who want to do it.
Its like newly graduates throwing hats upwards in the sky to have some fun.
Tsunami is doing what tsunamis do-----destroy everything-----Imran should sit back and enjoy theses scenes.
Thanks God its not gun fight like PPP and PML-N
LOL! at this video haha, Dear ET they were "cushions" by the way not "pillows" hahaha. Any way also HOW more desperate can the ET get!! It would have been completely fine if ET just shared this as a fun video to watch, but the ET is just so desperattte!
@Blithe:
I agree with you, PTI members need to take criticism in their stride. Listening to Nusrat Javed today and he again kept refering to abusive language of PTI trolls. It is counterproductive and repulses our target audience. We need their votes
although ET has published a lot of nonsense recently - i.e. SMQ report and other 'lies'
I think supporters of IK considers themselves angels which can,t do any thing wrong.
Leading globall schlar with phd frim cambridge joins pti says captain is most sincere et posts this rubbish check news pakistan captain fans
@MarkH: 100% Only negative thoughts in your mind on this blog. Negative aproach.
PTI trolls, just go over the messages posted. You guys need to do a lot of introspection. Please try to filter your thoughts before you put things down.
There was no point on trying to defend the indefensible. More importantly, let ET and the rest of media do its job. You are coming across as Stalinists. Please be careful. Your behavior is not instiling confidence on the readers about PTI culture and ethos.
Check photos of this great Huge Jalsa

This above video will not have any effect on Imran Khan. This video will only show Pakistans so called negative image. ET is doing this job as stooges of some one.
This is what we call politics with sporting (WWE Raw) spirit. We are proud of you Imran bhai for bringing out this raw sporting spirit in our politics loving youngsters! Jiye Imran , Jiye PTI!!
@Tired of Retards: was it negative about Imran or our public ?? dont take me as a voter of PTI
@American-owned "liberal" newspapers with an agenda: I see plenty of articles taking shots at other parties. Just because PTI hasn't done anything positive that was news worthy since their rallies it doesn't mean the media is at fault. That's another thing that comes with having a party run by a really loud person who loves attention. They get that attention. If you're doing something stupid or saying something stupid (common one for Imran Khan) while you have that attention, it gets printed.
Pillow fight is better than firing by PPP or PML(N) supporter, They are just celebrating a successful rally......IK Zindabad....PTI Zindabad.....
Why Express Tribune didn't show any video of picture of such a big gathering, This is becuase of dollars funded by US to Pakistani media to stop change in Pakistan, News Headline is disgusting.....What do you mean by pillow fight.....Shame on Zoinist Express Tribune.....No one can stop this tsunami.........
All these people blaming ET. Please watch the video. I mean you are seriously mad at ET for reporting the news. So what do you want? Anything negative about IK not be shown and only great things about him... Is he going to be a dear leader now?
So what? They are having fun
what a skewed headline. et needs to work harder to preserve its objectivity and credibility.
ET at its best.All you can see worth reporting of this massive historic jalsa is a pillow fight.Come on learn to appreciate some times
PTI? Whats Thats? I think PTI nazriyati..:P
I hope this also tells the readers about the state of our people. How illiteracy is deep rooted. It would be very easy to target PTI even for the behavior of these poor people (like stealing food chairs) but it is a moment to think for all us what is the misery of people in these areas, and what could follow if we dont change the course of this country in the next elections.
But on the other hand it was a massive rally . . .
now the immature anti-PTI trolls will blame this on IK too...
there were about some 100 people were doing all this, and the rally was about of 50,000 and they all gone peacefully. so you can't just blame the whole rally and we all know that these idiots were paid to make trouble at the end.
lets face it, these're the real Pakistanis and I'm happy that they are having some fun in desperate times. Long live Pakistan
ooooh, what a news, a pillow fight; ET just publishes these stories to generate max comments
People of this country having a curse, and why? this video is the answer.
ET seems to be on a media war against the PTI nowadays... pillow fight, seriously, that's news? What's next?
I bet this pillow fight is far more serious than PPP and PMLN Noora fights.
Even a blind can tell these miscreants were hired guns - hired to make a scene...
These guys need a bit of civilization before they come to ralleys. First the chairs were stolen, now pillow fight.... it just takes takes the focus out of the actual message...
ET, pillow fight just another excuse to bash PTI ??
