4-5 billion $ because it involved one city mainly and did not involved assasination fatwas against judges, army etc. Keeping in view of TLP protests cost, if we put the same rate to IK dharna it would have costed 40-45 billion $.
The fact is my friend ....
Imran Khan started this trend off and as they say:
‘what goes around, comes around’
Apart from D Chowk, IK backed by the establishment did many other dharne - did the state not have to pay for the security arrangements?
O
Less than the corruption done by Mian sahab and company! Def less than how much he charged the country to fly his food in from Lahore!
The Qadri part even I didnt support...The rest is not equivalent .... O are you a TLP supporter that you see the 2 as equal? 1 was dhandli ...political mandate of each citizen was violated other is political gunda gardi where TLP thinks meri baat nai mani so country should pay by destroying it in peaceful protest!
The protest by Qadri and PTI was not ASKED for by their leadership in fact their leadership spoke up against it the min the supporters went violent and even before the sit ins it was clarified SEVERAL times that it will be peaceful! Now when did TLP do that?
I dont know about Arif Alvi saying that or not and I would say it is wrong! Now your turn do you dare to say TLP was wrong?
And there wasnt 4mths of violence...Dharna was for 4 mths the violence was 1-2 days! TLP did 3 days of gunda gardi robbing a child like some bikari was really disgusting!
If you are going to behave like an animal be prepared to be treated as one
"One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter."
This is what half of Pakistan is thinking atm abt the current scenario.
The violence is lamentable. Pakistan is still a young country and we haven’t learnt the art of peaceful protest such as the UK where ppl wave banners infront of parliament and then go home after a few hours because for those governments that pressure is enough. Whereas here in Pakistan as the saying goes, people only understand with a danda.
However a lot of this could have been prevented. The trial process lasted nearly 10yrs which shows the legal system in Pakistan needs to be reformed so cases are dealt with swiftly and fairly. Also I believe the case should have been tried in a Federal Sharia Court.
Secondly the govt should have used wisdom because they saw what happened to the last govt when it got caught in the crosshairs of TLP. Before the re-examination of the case by the Supreme Court, they should have chaired a meeting between the SC and senior Ulema of Pakistan. Imo that would have helped the Ulema see the results of the re-examination. I say this because this because khatm e nabuwwat and the blasphemy laws are an extremely sensitive matter in Pakistan and ulema who are versed in the Islamic sciences must be allowed to have a role in the decision because after all this is a Muslim country and people are extremely sentimental abt this.
I don’t think IK handled this in the right manner because in his address to the nation, he and later on the Information Minister, Fawad Ch. threatened the protesters which further agitated them and many now think that the govt has a hand in the killing of JUI leader Moulana Sami ul Haq!?!
TLP is a registered and legitimate political party and have a vote bank of 22lac ppl. Political longevity is achieved in using expedience not by making rash decisions. IK needs to learn this - this is not a dharna where DJ Butt is blasting out beats and you’v created an environment where you encourage daughters and wives of other to dance and act immorally.
Mr Khan this is the real Pakistan and u need to wise up or go back to Banigala
