Champions of "change" will regret at the end of election day
LAHORE: Announcing to stage sit-ins across Pakistan on May 11, the chief of Tehreek Minhaj-ul-Quran, Allam Tahirul Qadri, late Monday night said Election 2013 would neither change the system nor the faces, Geo News reported.
“The “champions of change” would be hanging their heads in regret over the treachery they will be dealt with at the end of the day as the polls-to-come are neither free nor transparent”, said he talking to media here at the Allama Iqbal International Airport upon his return from London.
He said Tehrik-e-Minhajul Quran would not become a part of this corrupt system.
“I have not left the nation in lurch. That’s why I’m here”, said he.
To a question he said Tehrik-e-Minhajul Quran’s sit-ins would be peaceful, yet powerful in all respect.
“The sit-ins will in fact be our vote against the system. We mean no harm to the vote. Our rallies would keep a safe distance from the polling stations. We only want to protest against the system”, said Qadri.
Allama Qadri, who rocked the government in January with his fiery speeches during the three-day siege in Islamabad, said he saw no light at the end of this tunnel.
“Mark my words, full scale horse trading will come into play in the name of alliances to form the next government. What a government that is a manifestation of corruption will be like”, said Qadri.
He said the after the people of Pakistan had seen with their own eyes the horrible end of the decadent political system in place, only then he would unleash his system for them to see the difference.
Qadri said that ironically everyone but former president Gen (Retd) Pervez Musharraf was disqualified to participate in the elections.
“The corrupt Election Commission of Pakistan gave every corrupt candidate a clean slate presenting them as immaculate”, alleged he.
He said one day every word he had uttered would come true.
"It would be the worst elections held thus far in Pakistan," he added.
He said the elections were being doctored in such a way that not even a change of faces would be seen, let alone a change in system.

May 11 ‘day of accountability for Zardari, his cronies’: Shahbaz
LODHRAN: Former Punjab chief minister and Pakistan Muslim League-N leader, Shahbaz Sharif Monday declared May 11 as the day of accountability for ‘Asif Zardari and his cronies’.
“These are not going to be any ordinary elections; they will provide an opportunity to build Pakistan,” Shahbaz Sharif said while addressing an electoral rally here.
He regretted that ‘Asif Zardari and his cronies’ did not spare any energy in destroying Pakistan.
Shahbaz accused Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan of playing the game of Asif Ali Zardari.
He called upon the people not to let the vote for Nawaz Sharif distribute in favor of others, adding Muslim League-N will eliminate the darkness after coming to power.
Shahbaz said the former prime minister claimed spending Rs50 billion for the uplift of Multan but in practical terms works worth even Rs 500 million are hardly visible on ground.
