On January 3, we asked our readers on The Express Tribune Facebook page to give us one message they would like to pass on to Tahirul Qadri regarding his long march.
We received over 100 messages for Qadri, a snapshot of which are below:
Adnan Bajwa We're sick of democrazy.....Let’s bring in the Boots will you?!
Waqar Malik Dr. Qadri keep it up. People of Pakistan need change. After PTI Jalsa of Lahore, PPP & PML-N also called Imran Khan an agent of ISI. Now they are calling you the same. Keep it up and try to bring PTI too and make a political alliance with MQM & PTI. That will be best alliance because Imran Khan is great man.
Sahoo Barlas Do it against terrorists and don't keep it to an occasion. Try to organize the masses at street level. March will not make a big difference, if it does, it will not be in the interest of a common man. You have accompanied with you the most corrupt of the lot. Choose your companions carefully. They become your identity. You know you are not in position to win the next election, not the next but in coming 20 years you wouldn't be able to become a power through vote. If this is the reality then accept it. Go to the people, live with them, learn from them and then try to transform the society and system. From a sky view, you will be misled.
Ahmad Tehseen Stop following orders of the military establishment and try to be a politician on your own.
Hur Hussain Syed Dr. Qadri - Promise only what you can deliver! Keep your agenda clear and straight. Especially for Army/Judiciary/America/Mullahs/Taliban/Fuedals. Today’s friends shouldn't be tomorrow’s enemies.
Mohammad Babar Khan I wish if you had announced this march 4 years ago, I would have participated then. But it's too late now.
Atiq Ur Rehman Ghumman Dr.Qadri has started something which should have been started before to get rid of dynastic and feudals rulers and these rulers believe that it’s their legitimate right to govern Pakistani people the way they want. They are very hard working and busy in looting with consensus and brotherhood along with all collation partners in the name double-crossing democracy. The best way of rule an Islamic country is Islamic law.
Ali Waqas Dr. Tahir ul Qadri...Please...Let this country move on its own...Your long march is not needed, Let election be held. Let democracy flourish. It takes time to develop systems. Public would reject corrupt governments/parties in elections. Where were you before? Electoral policies could have been amended earlier, it’s time to let it leave. There is nothing special or that much horrible happened now that you need to make this long march move. Stop playing!
Epicurus Kh Dr Tahirul Qadri, Being aware of the political unrest, law and order situation in the country and most importantly TTP's threat of carrying out attacks against MQM which is a leading party involved in the march, you are putting "4 MILLION (your own stats)" lives at stake. Revolutions are seldom bloodless and if something goes wrong then one wouldn't be wrong holding you responsible. Many women would be widowed & countless children would be orphaned. Will your family march in the masses with the masses? Obviously not. Please have some mercy on the country!
Naveed Asghar Just want to say "Old wine in a new bottle".

I want to say for a real revolution (inkalab) ,come in the parliament by hook and crook and give the rights of all poor people in the whole country. bring the representative of whole working class,farmer,Businessman,industrial man etc No one can follow your views unless u come and do there implement.For god sake don't leave the nation hopeless.Bring the revolution as in Chine,Iran,France Don't put the patches in the old Laws, bring revolution in real sense. Change every thing according to the the history of revolution
I still not be able to understand why people of my country run so rapidly beyon personalities, and change their veiws so quickly.i am agree what TQ is saying but this country has a solid constitution over which each and every political party urges to follow upon. I personally think courts are now independent as compared to past.if he has some reservations,he must sue to corut for rectification of various issues ha has in his mind.if court dose'nt respond what he expects,then he has ghd right to go for long March.
The way he is going to disturb the whole system which already been clashed has dangerous impact overall.
He got the sympathesis of those people whose hands are coloured with hundres of innocent citizens of karachi.so i personally say it is an foreign agenda what he wants to implement in this country.
I think at list he is talking about the poor people in our country, Every day 10 to 25 people are being killed but Gort. has no attention they are only intrested in their own Interest Country you look where going Cost of Leaving is so going up hard to survive for middle class and poor people. Our Present Leaders dont think that they are answerable to GOD. Therefore I would request all our Country men to please join to support him It might take out our Country from this mass.
Dr Qadri is aMan with good vision He is very truthfull sincre to hos country and I think all sincere pakistanis must support his Agenda.this is Agenda to keep Pakistan forward rather then backward like look previois 4/5 years of worst Governce in Pakistan and Electronic media is anti pakistan unfortunately there are few peoples like Dr Danish.Dr shahid masood.Hassan nissar.and zahid hamid who are true pakistani and always highlight the need of pakistan I salute them......please keep up ur support for big Change in Pakistan.....inqalaab is not far now....
Thanks for asking about .Dr M Tahir Ul Qadri.I known Dr saib for more then 25 years He is the man with mission.people of pakistan.especially the nerominded only against him with out any reason.I fully support financially morally ect.to bring Change in Pakistan...God bless yu all who wil come forward in LONG MARCH...14Jan2013.ADay of Revolution.....
Dr Tahir-ul-Qadri's agenda and stance is very straightforward and clear. He demand, on behalf of the nation, that he constitution be implemented in true letter and spirit. Only then, can the pakistani nation enjoy true democracy and a political system that guards the interests of the common man rather than serving the few people who can "afford" to "contest and win" the elections!. Dr. Tahir-ul-Qadri has come at the right time and pakistanis have a chance to head for real change in the system. We support you Dr. Qadri, Allah bless you. Ameen.
Anyone talking for the good of Pakistan is welcomed irrespective of their beliefs going left, right or at center. If someone says the right things, why should I care where he or she comes from. Two wrongs does not make it right but two rights keep it right. Let the people of Pakistan be the judge of their destiney in a fair and just enviornment for all.
Honesty and Intigrity, Curosity and Hard Work, Patriatism and Loyalty, Tolarance and Fairplay are key to any nation success. Follow these old truth and trust on the glory for the nation that will follow.
Dr Qadri, we all are with you
I agree with the stance taken by Dr. Qadri...Not a single person objected his agenda only the Muk Muka parties have their reservations which are natural especially PML-N as it was their turn now according to them....
@Abbas: yes you can see lot of things on youtube regarding his mysterious truth - Insha-Allah mystery will be resolved very soon
A Man is Known By the Company He Keeps

Media is playing a bad role ! anchors are paid to talk against TQ! but truth will win inshallah ! tahir ul qadri has a clear message, take corruption out of politics i dont understand how people disagree with him other than bilawal and mariam.
Dr Qadri says: "My mission is to uphold the Constitution of Pakistan. My mission is to restore Jinnah’s true democracy." Dear readers, if you disagree with his person, can you reject his agenda?
@Javed Dr TQ was plainly stitched up at the time by the LHC - anyone who thinks it was a fair and unbiased judgement that was not motivated by political interests is deluded. As for being a Canadian National, that has no relevance to his demands, and is a convenient side-track used by his detractors (and supporters/beneficiaries of the corrupt politicians).
The current implementation of democracy is not fit for purpose, and needs reforming urgently. Pakistan needs TQ and there is no better time to do this than now.
I am surprised how quickly people have forgotten TQ's past and believe that he is the new messiah. Nobody remembers his 1990 Lahore High Court Case (or does not want to). This guy had tried to trick the public with a fabricated case of firing at his house to gain popularity. He was humiliated so much that he ran away with his tail between his legs. Now he has again re-emerged as a messiah ordained by the establishment to derail a country already in its death throes.
With so much discussion going on about duel nationals not to be allowed to hold public office except Judges, Generals and Bureaucrats we have forgotten that TQ is a Canadian National.
