It's been some 5 months or more since Tahir Ul Qadri's long march.His long march had put the whole nation in the sensation.All were curious then to know tha twhat would happen next.Unfortunately,he had to end the three day long sit-in protest in a very clumsy manner.He asked the same government for dialogue which had been declared Yazeedi government by him,earlier.
Many analysts,in fact almost all of them said that his purpose for the long march was to get the elections delayed,a pro-longed caretaker setup,with him being the caretaker PM.I can neither affirm the views of those analysts nor deny it,but i can certainly say that despite religious controversies attached to his past,his demands reagrding electoral reforms were aparently very much on the track.PTI which had decided to not to participate in the march,accepted later that his demands were right.Imran Khan acknowledged this in his very first speech after taking the oath.
I do'nt know what was the real motive of Qadri but if getting the elections delayed was his agenda,he chose a wong time for a perfect plan.He should have had carried out his plan after the formation of provincial and federal caretaker governments.Due to his sit-in,caretaker govt would have come under pressure,a few security lapses across the country and the money spent to provide security to his sit-in would provide a valid reason to the caretaker setup to extend their reign.Mere one statement of caretaker PM could postpone the elctions then.even the weather would be perfect then for a sit-in.
I hope Qadri will plan thngs with minute details,if he ever wished to carry out a long march in the future again.
