Dr. Muhammad Tahir ul-Qadri is a religious guru of Pakistan. He lived 7 years in Canada and just returned last month in Pakistan. He is doing a campaign to change in Democracy of Pakistan without corruption. He said in his speech held in Islamabad that “we want a pure democracy without any corruption. There are lots of supporters who are demands to expose the reality of corrupt politicians.
Since he marched from Lahore to Islamabad with his supporters, Qadri has set several deadlines for action on his demands that have been consistently ignored by the government.
As he delivered his speech on Thursday, media commentators noted that Qadri was speaking from inside his bulletproof and heated container while his supporters stood outside in pouring rain, braving the bitter cold of winter. Over the past two days, there has been considerable criticism of Qadri in the media and social networking websites for bringing scores of women and children for the protest in Islamabad.
Many of the protestors have been sitting out in the cold and sleeping in the open.
The ruling PPP has insisted that Qadri's demands cannot be implemented without violating the Constitution. Information minister Qamar Zaman Kaira has pointed out that Qadri was demanding sweeping electoral rolls even though the cleric cannot himself contest polls in Pakistan as he is a Canadian national.
The PPP's efforts to stand up to Qadri received a shot in the arm yesterday after opposition parties led by the PML(N) said they would oppose any unconstitutional or unlawful attempt to derail the democratic system.The protesters demanded an end to corruption and the elimination of frequent energy shortages. Some also voiced their desire for election reform. Although the numbers of the protesters were far less than Qadri's expectations, the protesters were enthusiastic and shared their experiences on social media.
