Re: dr tahir ul qadri will come back if public could come on roads against present electoral system....
Well I did not see any question in your post but there are somethings that need to be cleared and before that I must say that we are not against any political party and our struggle is not against any political party. Dr.Qadri is saying that not only upcoming elections but even 100 elections under the same system cannot bring any positive change. Why? because the current system is a game of winning horses. Only that person can think to fight in elections who has 10 - 20 crore rupees to spend, the one who is influential. The current system has nothing to do with the education, knowledge, honesty, ability to deliver and so on. The second major flaw is that if we see the number of votes in percentage, the majority voters are against the candidate who wins. And there are several other flaws as well. Now the people will come out or not on Dr.Qadri's call? this is too early to say. If you agree that the current electoral system is the real enemy, how can you become the part of it? Allow me to clear one more very important thing that Dr.Tahir-ul-Qadri is not Barelvi, he is Sunni - Hanafi.
I am admirer as well as critic of Dr.Tahir-ul-Qadri Sahib. One may not agree with everything he says on religion, but he has done good work in education and other social services. Though he is a bit arrogant about his knowledge, he is much better than a lot of Islamic scholars who are not well versed in modern branches of knowledge. I agree with Dr. Sahib's view on electoral system but his solution to change it is simplistic. Pakistani nation is divided in too many things to come out for a cause. Contrary to Arab spring countries and Iran, whose example Qadri Sahib quotes, we have established political parties/mafias and other groups. They have a very strong patronage network up to village level and in the presence of which people would not come out automatically for changing electoral system.
If Zardari tried to rig elections by installing a pro-zardari interim government, PML_N and PTI may go to streets and that is when Qadri Sahib can also join :P. If we have an independent interim government, the elections will take place so you have to fight while staying in this system as IK is doing. Qadri Sahib did participate in elections but his influence was very limited (mostly some sections of brelvi sect)
Qadri Sahib is expecting too much from Pakistani public. Oh Pakistani public ,do efforts yourself, I will come once "halwa" is ready to eat ;) Sorry to Qadri Sahib mureeds :)
