Soon this anarchist will be flying back home.
Get this Canadian citizen out of the country.
and only a visionary can come up with an idea to stand against the SYSTEM. Alas people couldn't think above mediocrity and were driven emotionally for the CHANGE with out a rational mind. I hope people now realize that it's the SYTEM which needs to come down before the real CHANGE happens and without that, we will keep on facing the same people in power. They are the biggest beneficiary of this corrupt system.
Amazing how this man has been proven right, word for word, what he laid out to the people of Pakistan months ago has played out today. A sad day for the deluded Pakistanis.
@Ali:
You expected something different? No party can win in Pakistan unless it engages in gun politics. No room for gentlemen here.
Dr Tahir ul Qadri was right all along.
Now people will realize that tahir ul qadri was right.. no change is possible in current corrupt electoral system, we need to change the system first than elections will bring some change...
either Rehman malik and THQ are right or the lions....
He was right then & he is right now as well. Today's election was scripted and corrupt. I have witnessed it in Karachi, my cousins have witnessed it in Lahore and Sialkot. PML (N) and another major party in Karachi were all corrupting the votes. Votes in their opposition were being destroyed and fake votes were being casted in their favors
Hahahahahaha, where did this guy come from after such a long time? Lagta hai opposition ka kaam abhi se shuru ho rha hai
TUQ was totally right.
hahahahahah
