Meray Aziz Humwantano,
What is the 'true' mood on the streets?
After reading the PoliticalAffairs sections... it appears that the Khottacracy is deeply disappointed and angry...
My only fear is that MullahMaffia will use its 'religious' power through madrassa students... and cause chaos and insecurity in the country...
One truly hopes that we put all blackmailers in their place once and for all...otherwise, this tamasha will continue...
Kindly, if you like. do tell whats really going on...in OurLand.
The entire mess is rather disturbing..

Allow me to copy paste my previous comment from another thread....
__________
Pakistan's population is 230 million.
Half of our population is under the age of 21.
Around 45% is under the age of 18.
Around 35% under 12.
And around 10% under 5.
In last General Election, if I remember correctly, the number of registered voters were little over 100 millions and only 52% voted. That means 3/4th of Pakistan didn't even vote, half of which were kids.
And those who voted, they voted according to their own likings. Interestingly, younger ones voted more for IK and oldies mostly voted for their respective families/Biradry/religion/sect/ethnicity etc.
Some(around half of registered voters) still refused to vote like yours truly albeit being in 30's simply because I refused to believe a new party can be any better or worse than the existing ones. At this time, I regret it. And judging by good performance of IK/Pti(comparatively) during the pandemic and economic crisis, I started to have soft spot for them. And I'm not the only one. There are others too. Many others. Especially now due to this NCV crisis.
Anyway, let's hope our newer generation would be better than the previous generations. A lot can improve in future, Inshallah.

Just an addition.
We also might see a whole generation get disenfranchised from politics.
15 years ago, a whole section of society had no interest in politics. But after the rise of PTI, the middle class or upper middle class, and especially the younger group took great interest in politics and we had discussions on a wide range of topics almost everywhere.
Once this electorate gets disinterested in things and resigns itself to the 'establishment' or the great powers, then they would not take part in the process and we would be left again with the good folks of interior Sindh or the Butts of Punjab (no offence to Butts
).
Bhaaga hua bhagora dar will be back to serve the nation. All criminals on the run will return and take this nation forward while the professional military will salute these criminals. Awesome The Pakistani establishment is compromised from day one, who brought Bhutto? Who brought Nawaz? Who...

Anyway, there used to be some image circulating on social media that in 90's when IK first contested for election and lose, somebody asked him why nobody voted for him, he replied,'My voters are still young'.
That thing is now coming out to be true. I have never seen that much of support for IK before which I am now witnessing in usual daily life. People who didn't vote for IK or didn't even bother to vote or who people who were cursing IK and mehngai just a few weeks before all of a sudden turned pro IK especially after his speech.
A Vaela lazy friend of mine who doesn't work, doesn't do anything at all, his CNIC got expired last year. I kept telling him to renew it, I will drive you myself to Nadra 24/7 centre after midnight because there is no rush there at that time. He kept delaying it. 2 nights ago, I took to Nadra and got his process done finally, on his own request because, now he wants to vote if reelection happen within 90 days. lol
Thing is, this time, IK is gonna win with 2/3rd majority. Momentum is there. Unless, something else, rigging/assasination etc.
Let's hope for the best.
