Pervaiz Musharaf |
By having a rule
of almost 10 years the public of Pakistan feel rejected to see Pervaiz Musharaf
and his government and after the return of Benazir Bhutto and Nawaz sharif who
were exile for years and also the leaders of strongest political parties in Pakistan i.e. PPP and PML (N) the public feel a new revolution in the air of
Pakistan leading more difficulties in the path of Musharaf who was facing big
challenges in the name of day by day increasing terrorism. On the other hand
Benazir was facing some serious threats and thus was welcomed by the blast
which was then named as “Saniha Karsaz” killing numerous PPP followers
fortunately Benazir survived in this attack, but when conducting an election
rally in Rawalpindi she was shot in the head which proves to be fatal. Thus the
nation feel devastated at the terrible loss of the great Politician. The death
of Benazir thus caused the elections to be postponed for the few months so the
political situations should be controlled.
In 2008 nation feel
emotionally attached to the PPP who was then supervised by Benazir‘s son i.e.
Bilawal Bhutto Zardari who became the chairmen of PPP. Thus PPP proved to be
victorious in the elections that were held on 18th of February 2008
followed by PML (N). On the other hand PTI had already withdrawn from the
elections.
Soon after PPP
rule as a government the economic unbalance started too fretful. Higher rates
of Petrol, Diesel, and daily basis living things put aggression in the public.
The government neither solved any problem instead keep on raising prices.
After their rule
which was not successful at all the country was fallen into mounts of debts and
high prices of everything.
As a result of government
failure Dr. Tahir-ul-Qadri held a long
march on 14th Jan of that
year in Islamabad in D chowk to derail the government of Pakistan with heavy
crowds. He sets his conditions to held elections ASAP. By setting protest for three days and having
several meetings with the government authorities they compromise on following
conditions:
Long March |
First and most
prior demand was to call for electoral reforms i.e. vetoing corrupt incumbents
from taking part in the elections and to bring forward the date for the
election ASAP.
Qadri also demanded for the interim government from the input of
judiciary and military to hold the charge of the country before elections, as
this concept abolishes the history of Pakistan so this offer was refused by the
military. Upon reaching Islamabad Qadri put a new demand for the Parliament
dissolution by 15th of Jan by making president of Pakistan “an ex
president”. The protest last for 3 days which results in putting new demands
day by day. Now the demand was to dissolution of provincial assemblies and
disbanding of Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP).

The demands of
Qadri were accepted in such a way that Elections to be held on 11th
of May. National Assembly would be dissolved before 16th of March
and elections to be held within 90 days following one month of scrutiny under
Articles 61 and 62 under the constitution of Pakistan.
Qadri
congratulated protesters on the night of 17th Jan after meeting with
the government correspondent and said “It is a day of victory for the marchers and the
nation alike. [I thank] Almighty Allah who bestowed His blessings [on the
protesters].”
2013
elections then appeared to be bogus by having numerous corruptions in most of
the NA’s. Imran khan the chairmen of PTI held countrywide protest stating to re
held the elections.
2007-2013
political development causes great disturbance in the country economic
situation. Day by day protest has also caused the business of the public to be
shuttered down, schools to be off and same is the case of work. Moreover due to
strikes the roads were blocked which causes people to stay at home and patients
to die on road. May such situations never ever come in the future Pakistan
Ameen.
