Bury the hatchet or bite the bullet: Get ready for revolution |

![]() "This state of affairs in the country will change only through a revolution," he told a charged crowd, claiming his party would come into power "in a matter of a few days". "We cannot leave Pakistan at the mercy of Zardari," he said. "We know how to safeguard Pakistan." Nawaz urged police personnel not to comply with government orders that they deemed against the law. "The constitution, the law, the judiciary and Pakistan are not the fiefdom of [President Asif Ali] Zardari," he said. "If anyone tries to subject people to injustices, he should be ready to face the consequences," Nawaz warned. "Fake courts have given a verdict against us," he said referring to his and his brother Shahbaz Sharif's disqualification. "If Zardari does not dislodge the courts, the people will dislodge them on their own," the opposition leader said in a fiery speech. He said Pakistan was facing threats and "the responsibility to save it lies on our shoulders". |

#1 We should call this the 'Red Revolution' on account of the amount of blood that will flow if Sharif's followers take to the streets. |
