    Tehrik-i-Minhajul Quran (TMQ) chief Dr Tahirul Qadri late on Thursday announced an end to four days of anti-government protests by thousands of people after striking a deal with the government.

    Qadri,the Anna Hazare of Pakistan signed a deal with the Government of Pakistan.

    Canadian Born agreed to the deal amidst chaos after the arrest warrant against him and the dwindling mass support with a leading opposition party refusing to back him up.

    He has now indicated his plans to contested the Elections.

    What is the Deal?

    “

    The government agreed with the cleric to dissolve the National Assembly before its term ends in mid-March, giving 90 days until elections are held, according to the “Islamabad Long March Declaration”.

    That would give time to make sure politicians are eligible to stand for elections.

    The government also agreed that the caretaker administration, which normally precedes elections, would be chosen in consultation with all parties.

    A declaration laying out the agreement between the government and Qadri was signed by Prime Minister Raja Pervez Ashraf as well as the high-level government officials who made up the negotiating team.

    The government delegation was comprised of Afrasiab Khattak, Farooq H. Naek, Qamar Zaman Kaira, Chaudhry Shujaat, Babar Ghauri, Khurshid Shah, Amin Faheem, Farooq Sattar, Senator Abbas Afridi and Mushahid Hussain.

    They also agreed that the treasury benches in complete consensus with Qadri’s party will propose the names of two honest and impartial people for the appointment of caretaker prime minister.

    On the issue of composition of the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP), the agreement said that it will be discussed at a meeting on Jan 27 at the Minhaj-ul-Quran Secretariat in Lahore.

    It was agreed upon that the focus will be on the enforcement of electoral reforms prior to the polls on article 62, 63 and 218 (3) of the constitution, section 77 to 82 of the representation of people’s act 1976 and other relevant provisions relating to conducting free and fair elections.

    The Supreme Court’s judgement of June 8, 2012 on constitutional petition of 2011 must be implemented in true letter and spirit also.

    Moreover, they also agreed that with the end of the long march and sit-in, all cases registered against each other shall be withdrawn immediately and there will be no acts of victimisation and vendetta against either party or the participants of the march.”(Dawn)

    “However, Mr Qadri’s demand that the army be consulted on the structure of the interim administration was rejected.

    His march from Lahore to Islamabad culminated in a mass rally on Monday evening.

    Clashes briefly erupted on Tuesday but the mass protest has been largely peaceful.

    The cleric has said he wanted the military and judiciary to be involved in installing a caretaker government to oversee the forthcoming elections.

    But he suffered a setback on Wednesday when the leader of the main opposition, the Pakistan Muslim League, refused to back his protests.

    There has been speculation that Mr Qadri may be fishing for a role for the military and the judiciary when it comes to the appointment of a caretaker government to oversee over the forthcoming elections.

    That’s it.

  • Beheading Indian Soldier By Pakistan, Reason?

    Pakistan has beheaded an Indian soldier in LoC .

    It is reported that people were seen moving towards Indian border and they had cover fire.

    Soldiers were killed on the Indian side and a soldier was beheaded.

    Refuting all the allegations, Pakistan stated that India is building Hysteria and is also building bunkers,

    Pakistan forced by India made a Flag meeting.

    A 45 minutes discussion between the Commanders was reported to be heated and Indian Chief is reported to have stated that ‘India reserved the right to retaliate”

    What is behind the Pakistani move?

    It is curious that the Pakistani Media is not vociferous on this issue till now.

    1.Zardari is facing the sword of the Supreme Court.

    2.Elections in Pakistan is around the corner.

    3.Zardari stressed the importance of the Army in conducting the Elections, while the Opposition is against it.

    4.Days before Zardari’s statement a news item was leaked to the effect that Fundamentalism had emerged as Pakistan’s number one priority and not India.

    5..The Army,ISI is smarting for being sidelined. they feel let down post Osama killing.

    Zardari needs Pakistan Army and Army him,

    The Long march :

    protest March in Pakistan for Electoral Reforms

    “Tehrik-i-Minhajul Quran (TMQ) chief Tahirul Qadri on Sunday led thousands of supporters at the start of his long march on the capital Islamabad, demanding key reforms before the upcoming elections.

    Hundreds of cars, buses and trucks carrying around 7,000 people left Model Town in the city of Lahore, expected to grow in number as they pass through towns and villages en route to Islamabad, accompanied by a heavy security presence.

    Qadri accuses the government of being corrupt and incompetent, and argues that Pakistan must enact “meaningful” reforms before general elections, which are scheduled to be held within eight weeks after parliament disbands in mid-March.

    Speaking prior to kicking off what he termed his “march for democracy”, Qadri accused the Punjab provincial government of impounding buses and detaining drivers in their efforts to hamper the protest.

    Qadri, however, vowed to lead the march to the federal, and urged supporters to join him despite all hindrances.

    “This is a march for protection of human rights, elimination of poverty, supremacy of constitution, rule of law and end of corruption,” he said, urging transporters who were not being issued permits and licenses to participate without the provincial government’s approval.

    Qadri’s march comes amid widespread demonstrations in major Pakistani cities in solidarity with the victims of a series of gruesome bombings in Quetta on Thursday. The relatives of the victims, mostly from the minority Hazara Shia community, have refused to bury the dead as long as the Army takes control of the city, which is the provincial capital of Balochistan….

    What better way to divert attention of the people of pakistan than to call Indian bogey?

    Looks like another Kargill is in the offing.
