All this has happened, in the end Nawaz Sharif ended with so many ppl that govt gave up and agreed to restore judges even before NS could reach Gujranwala

Everyone in Pakistan except PPP AAZ wanted the restoration, even police didn't follow Taseer's orders. There was literally no resistance to the lawyers movement after Musharraf's departure. No pellet guns, no tear gas shells, no barricades; only barricade NS had to cross was barricade in front of his house in model town and it was removed without any effort. Islo on the other hand was sealed but convoy luckily didn't cross Gujranwala.

so you dont remember what had happened in Lahore before he left Model town
and even you got number of barricades removed wrong, I though the removal of barricade at ravi bridge was quite famous but if one wants to turn a blind eye no one can help

As i said earlier, Ousting of NS turning out more dangerous to Establishment then his presence on PM Chair.
Like Benazir, Their is no political solution of NS except one.
you keep trying yorkers and he tactfully converting all of them into full-tosses and dispatching them out of the ground regularly.....!!
He is just beyond your imagination!!

Hahaha. Nice delusional post. So called rally which couldn't even gather 30 thousand people in Lahore.

What Methods Are Used for Crowd Counting?
The most common method for estimating the number of people in a large crowd, known as Jacobs Method, is actually pretty straightforward. The technique is named after Herbert Jacobs, a professor of journalism at UC Berkeley who came up with it while trying to estimate the size of the Vietnam War protests outside his office window in the 1960s.
Jacobs noticed that the ground outside was gridded so he could carefully count how many protesters were in one square on the grid and then multiply by the number of squares. Thus crowds in spaces like the National Mall that are laid out in a natural grid-like pattern can be easier to tally.
If a rally space is not so conveniently gridded, knowing the total area, along with the density of the crowd, is also sufficient. The most tightly packed crowd, known officially as “mosh pit density,” has one person per every 2.5 square feet. This is the sort of crowd where, if you were able to pick your feet up off the ground, you’d be so squished by those around you that you’d probably stay upright just fine. This density of people is considered a strict upper limit—any crowd counts that allot less space per person are not considered physically possible.
A more breathable crowd puts one person per ever 4.5 square feet which still places you elbow to elbow with your neighbors. A light crowd might have one person per every 10 square feet. Thus breaking up the landscape into higher vs lower crowd density chunks and then multiplying by their relative areas can give very estimates of crowd size usually within 10-20%.
Why Is Crowd Counting So Challenging?
Although the Jacobs Method is fairly simple in principle, the choices made in the execution can lead to varying estimates. Estimations of where the boundaries are for high versus low density spots in the crowd, as well as just how densely packed that crowd is, can vary somewhat with different counts. For very large crowds, the boundaries can be difficult to estimate, or in other words, where rally goers stop and non-attendees begin. The most accurate estimates tend to come from a combination of multi-directional aerial photography, either from satellites, helicopters or balloons showing the expanse of the crowd along with photos taken from the ground showing the density of people from up close.
Some of these complications can be addressed by sophisticated computer algorithms that factor in details like sloped lawns that can give the illusion of more people than are actually present. Thanks to databases like Google Earth, such changes in terrain are fairly well-mapped and thus can be properly taken into account.
Such algorithms can also predict where crowds will be denser, like near Jumbotron screens and closer to central stages. In the winter, rally attendees tend to crowd in areas buffered from the wind, while in the summer, they cluster together in the shade.
Another more meticulous method involves the painstaking task of individually counting attendees either in total or in smaller, representative chunks to by multiplied. Amazon’s Mechanical Turk, for example, essentially provides a database of computer savvy users willing to work for a fee. Multiple counts can be made from aerial images and then averaged, throwing out any outliers.
Another method for crowd estimation that doesn’t rely on aerial photography involves placing counters on the ground who note every person that passes a certain checkpoint. This method can help with moving crowds like marches but also assumes every attendee will pass through a certain location. Sometimes crowd counters can look to how much trash was accumulated or how many port-a-potties were used.
The biggest obstacle to getting an accurate estimate of crowd size, however, appears to be who is doing the counting.

It really amaze me how fake these Pakistani politicians are because they are just good in making hollow claims and fake promises. They pretend as if they really care about Pakistan or Pakistani people but what they actually care about is political power by hook or by crook . Nawaz sharif is crying now and same rhetoric that I will do this and that i.e pretending to be political messiah for people etc but they actually forget all these promises when they are in power . Ganja has been in power for so many years now so why he is moaning as if he never got any chance or opportunity to perform and why he did not bring the change which he is talking about now..In bandroon ko circus tab yaad ata ha jab kursi se utara jhaien yea kursi ki hasrat hoo..soo jate hain jab iqtadar main hoon..What he think that he is above law and Judges should have no power to check his credibility
