From Print Edition
The obfuscated environment in the country has led to sheer despondency amongst people. The responsibility for this pathetic and precarious situation rests squarely with the so-called democratic dispensation, which has remained overly busy in plundering every asset of this country and turned a deaf ear to public grousing throughout its five years of independent, uninterrupted and unprecedented rule.
As the government itself is a major beneficiary of the looting bonanza, its apathy and indifference to this dreadful endemic can be gauged from the failure to pass an accountability bill, which has been tossed over in the parliament for three years.
Massive corruption, brazen destruction of financial organisations and indiscriminate borrowing by the present government has pushed it into a horrifying debt trap. A major portion of the state revenues that should have been used for development has actually gone into debt servicing.
This economic mismanagement has triggered hyperinflation and precipitated the country into extreme poverty. It is a known phenomenon that destitution resulting from economic deprivation leads to fissiparous tendencies, as was witnessed in the case of Soviet Union and later in the break-up of Yugoslavia. Pakistan faces the same conditions today and unless they are corrected expeditiously, an emergency situation will soon prevail.
The second most dangerous phenomenon threatening security and solidarity of the state is terrorism, which has held the entire nation hostage over the last decade and remains out of control till date. The terrorists have shown a remarkable capability to attack targets at will, including those that are heavily defended, spreading fear and panic in all parts of the country.
While the magnitude of this threat is alarming, the government stays smug and is criminally casual in its response. There has never been a serious debate on the prevailing multi-dimensional terrorism, which has now assumed menacing proportions and is seriously challenging the writ of the state. We woefully lack an effective counter strategy and, similar to the attitude shown towards corruption, the special anti-terrorism laws have been awaiting their passage for two years with the parliament that has not found time to sign the bill. Resultantly, the terrorists continue striking targets with impunity and killing people indiscriminately.
Today, besides a host of intractable and life-threatening issues, gas, petrol and electricity have gone missing in the middle of harsh winters, snatching away the basic necessities of life and pushing people into the dark/stone ages, in which bare survival for the impoverished majority in this country has become a nightmare. The CNG stations present ugly spectacles, where private/public transport holders are seen standing in long queues for hours, waiting for their turn and cursing those who rose to power through a fraudulent system of voting and took them for a ride in the name of fake democracy.
The rulers, however, have the audacity to call their despotic tenure as a golden period, which is really shameful. The people of Pakistan now understand the true meaning of their slogan, Democracy is the Best Revenge.
While the 99 percent frenzied population of Pakistan watches helplessly the daily dreadful events that strike mortal blows on regular basis, the 1% ruling elite has remained unmoved to the miserable plight of the teeming millions who voted them into power. The people have, therefore developed hatred against this corrupt and cruel system that has brought no relief in their lives, has compounded difficulties and cheated them in the name of democracy.
They have realized that the present system of elections is flawed that throws up dynastic, exploitative, manipulative, dishonest, incompetent and corrupt leadership, which has repeatedly failed to deliver and hence it must be corrected.
It is under such dire straits that the appearance of Dr. Qadri on the Pakistani political scene should be viewed. I have been consistently highlighting since July, 2011, the need for selection of selfless men with proven character, loyalty, sincerity and integrity as specialists to form an interim government, which should stem the rot and focus on correcting the basic flaws in our electoral system so that it can produce true results.
In this passionate effort, a few others have been joining me from time to time, using large column space in the print media to present similar ideas but, being in absolute minority, our voices were cleverly suppressed by the preponderant supporters of status quo forces.
In retrospect, had this action been taken at the start of our struggle, the country and its hapless people may have been spared the incalculable damage inflicted upon them by the ruthless leadership.
The justification for Dr. Qadris historic initiative is provided by a simple and straightforward logic that present system of elections in Pakistan is unconstitutional and it must be brought in conformity with the constitution. Hence, those who have been bluffing the nation on this account, stand badly exposed after the Tehrik-e Minhaj-ul-Quran (TMQ) leader, in his marathon address to the mammoth Dec 23 rally at Lahore, made a short work of the relevant constitutional clauses in easy to understand language, to support his magnificent agenda for change.
For those of us who like to understand the existing fraudulent, impotent and non-representative electoral process, which is incapable of throwing up an honest and patriotic leadership, here is an easy calculus.
At present, there are 85 million voters registered with the ECP. Keeping the past turnout of 40-45% in mind, only 35 million are likely to vote. Out of these, nearly 25 million (70%) reside in rural areas and being the majority electorate, they determine the fate of our country in every election. We know, how these captive voters are exploited by the feudals and landlords to secure votes in their own favour. Additionally, the constitution is grossly violated when the candidates for elections are never subjected to a qualification process as stipulated therein.
These are defining moments in our history. A long awaited National Rescue Campaign is being launched with clearly and correctly defined aims. It will gain strength if other visionary leaders join in too, particularly Imran Khan, who could share the lead as his PTI has struggled for the same purpose. However, those who choose to sit on the fence as spectators, will thoroughly expose themselves, proving that they favour a sick system that has caused severe damage and sickness to the whole society.

The Man Behind Pakistan's Democracy March: RADIO FREE EUROPE
By Daud Khattak and Charles Recknagel
January 09, 2013
Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri is best known internationally for fatwa that he issued in 2010 condemning terrorism.
The influential Islamic scholar declared in that 600-page religious ruling that no Muslim has the right to shed the blood of civilians in the name of religion.
Now Qadri is becoming known both inside and outside Pakistan for something else: He has vowed to bring millions of supporters out into the streets for a march on Islamabad on January 14.
This time, his message is not religious but political. "If you want change," he told supporters in Lahore on December 23, "I am also here to bring the change."
Qadri is demanding a total overhaul of the government ahead of the country's parliamentary elections, due to take place after the legislature ends its current term in March. A precise date for the voting has not been set.
Qadri -- who is a law professor and founder of a worldwide organization that promotes education in the Islamic sciences -- wants Pakistan's ruling coalition to step down in favor of a caretaker administration that would be acceptable to all of the country's political parties, its judiciary, and its military. And he has called for such a caretaker administration to carry out election reforms he says are needed to ensure the upcoming vote will be honest.
Deadline To Government
To ensure the current government listens, Qadri has given it until January 10 to meet his demands. If it does not, he has promised, the march will begin from Lahore on January 13 and reach the capital the next day.
The government has so far refused Qadri's demand for a meeting with the prime minister and cabinet to discuss his terms. But Interior Minister Rehman Malik visited Qadri on January 7 to discuss security arrangements for the march.
[h=5]FROM THE ARCHIVE: A 2010 Interview With Qadri By RFE/RL[/h]
Islamabad's superintendent of police, Mirwais Imtiaz, told RFE/RL's Radio Mashaal that protesters will be barred from a "red zone" that includes the main government buildings.
"We will provide security. Although the organizers have said the procession will be peaceful, we will deploy police to avoid any incidents," Imtiaz said. "No one may cross the red zone. There will be checks at walk-through gates, and there will be separate parking arrangements for participants of the procession."
Imtiaz said the red zone would be cordoned off with containers and barbed wire. He also said that 4,000 to 5,000 police personnel will be deployed in Islamabad to ensure security.
Motivated Support Base
How many people Qadri actually can bring to the streets is now the question that dominates Pakistani media.
Omar Cheema of the Islamabad-based Center of Investigative Reporting in Pakistan says Qadri has a highly motivated support base among his former students. "The people who are aligned with him, these are the guys, most of them, who have graduated from his institution called Minhaj-ul-Quran," Cheema says. "So he has that kind of following."
Minhaj-ul-Quran International is a Sufism-based organization that Qadri founded in 1981. The group's declared aim is to promote a moderate vision of Islam and the establishment of good relations and understanding between communities and religions.
Qadri has also been a professor of law at the University of Punjab, where he taught British, U.S., and Islamic constitutional law for many years.
But if Qadri's dual role as a religious and educational figure helps make him a credible critic of Pakistan's troubled political system to some people, his own dabbling in politics makes him a suspect figure to others.
He founded his own political party, Pakistan Awami Tehrik, in 1989 and ran for a seat in the National Assembly in 2002. His party, which did not enter the last parliamentary race in 2008, is widely seen as having a one-man leadership with no other well-known figures apart from Qadri himself.
Qadri spent the past seven years in Canada and largely out of the Pakistani public eye. Now, with his pledge to lead a millions-strong march on Islamabad, he has not only returned to Pakistani politics but seized a place at center stage.

[h=1]Fatwa on Terrorism[/h]From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fatwa on Terrorism is a 600-page (Urdu version), 512-page (English version) Islamic decree by scholar Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri which demonstrates from the Quran and Sunnah that terrorism and suicide bombings are so unjust that their evil is un-Islamic. It is published from London as a book.[SUP][1][/SUP] The English edition was published in the UK by Minhaj-ul-Quran Publications. Qadri released the fatwa on 2 March 2010.[SUP][2][/SUP] This fatwa is a direct refutation of the ideology of Al-Qaeda and the Taliban. It is one of the most extensive Islamic anti-terrorism rulings, an "absolute" condemnation of terrorism without "any excuses or pretexts" which goes further than ever and declares that terrorism is kufr under Islamic law.[SUP][3][/SUP] The launch was organised by Minhaj-ul-Quran UK. Qadri said during the launch that "Terrorism is terrorism, violence is violence and it has no place in Islamic teaching and no justification can be provided for it, or any kind of excuses or ifs or buts."

The fatwa received widespread media attention and was positively covered by the international press.[SUP][4][/SUP]
According to CNN, experts see the fatwa as a significant blow to terrorist recruiting.[SUP][5][/SUP] CNN's Amanpour show added the fatwa summary to its website and declared it to be fatwa for peace.[SUP][6][/SUP] while the US State Department declares the fatwa to be significant step in taking Islam back from terrorists.[SUP][7][/SUP]
Douglas Murray has also supported the Fatwa on Terrorism in an article published by the Evening Standard.[SUP][8][/SUP]
ITV news channel questioned the credibility of the fatwa and asks if it was not by the British government because senior counter-terrorismofficials from Scotland Yard and MI5 were present at the launch.[SUP][9][/SUP]
The 512-page English book version of the fatwa — Fatwa on Terrorism and Suicide Bombings — (London: Minhaj-ul-Quran, 2011. ISBN 978-0-9551888-9-3) has a foreword by John Esposito and an introduction by Joel Hayward, both of whom share Qadri's scholarly assessment that, regardless of any intention, the evil of terrorism remains evil and must be exposed, opposed and condemned.[SUP][10][/SUP]
The Fatwa on Terrorism has been officially endorsed by Al-Azhar University in Cairo, Egypt.[SUP][11][/SUP][SUP][12][/SUP] In January 2011, the fatwa was discussed at the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting 2011.[SUP][13][/SUP] In June 2011, Pope Benedict XVI received a copy of the fatwa from representatives of Minhaj Interfaith Relations.

Fatwa on Terrorism is a 600-page (Urdu version), 512-page (English version) Islamic decree by scholar Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri which demonstrates from the Quran and Sunnah that terrorism and suicide bombings are so unjust that their evil is un-Islamic. It is published from London as a book.[SUP][1][/SUP] The English edition was published in the UK by Minhaj-ul-Quran Publications. Qadri released the fatwa on 2 March 2010.[SUP][2][/SUP] This fatwa is a direct refutation of the ideology of Al-Qaeda and the Taliban. It is one of the most extensive Islamic anti-terrorism rulings, an "absolute" condemnation of terrorism without "any excuses or pretexts" which goes further than ever and declares that terrorism is kufr under Islamic law.[SUP][3][/SUP] The launch was organised by Minhaj-ul-Quran UK. Qadri said during the launch that "Terrorism is terrorism, violence is violence and it has no place in Islamic teaching and no justification can be provided for it, or any kind of excuses or ifs or buts."
