| 2014-08-16 |
| [DAWN] Friday was a test of patience for many marchers, as rallies of both Pakistain Tehrik-e-Insaf ...a political party in Pakistan. PTI was founded by former Pakistani cricket captain and philanthropist Imran Khan. The party's slogan is Justice, Humanity and Self Esteem, each of which is open to widely divergent interpretations.... (PTI) and Pakistain Awami Tehrik (PAT) spent all day on the road before arriving in the capital just before midnight. But what began as another sweltering day turned into a rain-soaked August evening, bringing much-needed relief for supporters of both parties who had been waiting for their leaders' caravans to arrive in the city. The PTI rally — which culminated at the Kashmire Highway, near the Serena Hotel on the edge of the Red Zone — was held up by heavy rain and other incidents. PAT's progress was quicker during the day, but by the evening, their rally had been overtaken by the PTI contingent, which marched into the capital barely an hour ahead of Dr Tahirul Qadri ...Pak politician, and would-be dictator, founder and head of Tehreek-e-Minhajul Quran and Pakistain Awami Tehrik. He usually resides in Canada, but returns to Pakistain periodically to foam at the mouth and lead demonstrations. Depending on which way the wind's blowing, Qadri claims to be the author of Pak's blasphemy law. Other times he says it wasn't him... 's supporters. |
