We have already experienced with Zia and Musharaf’s Caretaker Government ( 90 days ) and seen the results so from where this person is speaking ?
**Whats your opinion about Military role in Government ? **
IMO let the election get held and sooner or later our people will realized that who is wrong and who is right, stopping this procedure is not the solution of all problems.
**Qadri favours military’s role in formation of caretaker govt
** LAHORE: Tehrik-i-Minhajul Quran (TMQ) chief Tahirul Qadri said on Tuesday that his party had not yet decided to contest elections because it was presently focused on accomplishing its one-point agenda: formation of an honest and trustworthy caretaker government in consultation with the military, judiciary and other stakeholders.
alking to Dawn, he said the caretaker government should hold free and fair elections in** 90 days **or so after introducing massive electoral reforms under the Constitution.
“Presently, we only want an independent and honest caretaker set-up after consultations between the military, judiciary and other stakeholders. It should not be a result of a ‘mukmuka’ (deal) between the two parties (PPP and PML-N) alone. So this is our one-point agenda at the moment and we want it to be accomplished by Jan 10,” Dr Qadri said.
Asked about justification of his campaign for a caretaker government and electoral reforms despite being a Canadian national, the TMQ chief said he was doing nothing in violation of rules or the Constitution. “I am a dual national of Pakistan and Canada. I am a Pakistan national by birth and origin and Canadian national by choice. And I can hold both nationalities under the rules and the agreements our country has made with several countries,” he argued.
“The Constitution only forbids dual nationals like me from contesting elections and holding public office. As I have not yet decided to contest elections and hold any public office in future, it is not binding on me to lead or participate in the rallies like our recent one to push Islamabad initiate process and form a caretaker set-up that could hold elections after massive cleansing through electoral reforms under the Constitution,” he said.
He said he would give up his Canadian citizenship if he decided to take part in elections.
Asked whether or not the PPP or the PML-N had contacted him to postpone his long march call and rally of millions in Islamabad for Jan 14, he said no one from the two parties had contacted him to date.
“Only Chaudhry Shujaat and Pervaiz Elahi of PML-Q, Shah Mehmood Qureshi and Aleem Khan of PTI, Difaa-i-Pakistan Council chairman Maulana Samiul Haq and former president Pervez Musharraf have contacted me and congratulated for holding a successful rally at Minar-i-Pakistan. They have also sought a meeting with me on issues the country is facing,” he said.
In reply to a question whether he had any plan to have an electoral alliance with the MQM or PTI, Dr Qadri said his party was at present concentrating on its one-point agenda of a trustworthy and honest caretaker set-up for transparent elections.
“We may think about this in case we decide to participate in elections or not,” he said.
His attention was drawn to an example cited by him in his Sunday rally about a caretaker set-up in Italy, Tahirul Qadri said he had not called for such an arrangement in Pakistan.His reaction was sought on a remark by a judicial commission which disapproved of his conduct during a hearing in a case of alleged attempt on his life in 1990, he said the then government had set up a one-man administrative tribunal, and not a judicial commission, to investigate the case.
“I appeared a number of times and produced around 25 witnesses before the tribunal. At a time when the body was about to decide the case, the government abolished it and formed an LHC judicial commission. Later, I started appearing before this commission and asked whether or not it would start its work from the point where the tribunal had left it. It (the commission) started probing the case afresh. So I was disappointed and boycotted its proceedings. And later they issued such a verdict,” he said.
Asked about his strategy for the march to Islamabad on Jan 14, Dr Qadri said although he and his party were determined not to end this event till acceptance of his demands, the rally’s participants will decide whether to stay there or not.
Re: Do you Support military’s role in formation of caretaker govt ??????
I do not support army's involvement in the formation of caretaker government. The onus lies on the shoulders of the two main political parties to form a neutral care taker set up which is acceptable to all, otherwise we can go anywhere from here. The way PPP has installed the CEC I have confidence that they would want to go for a free and fair elections, even if that means their defeat.

I appreciate , you can realize that PPP GOVERNMENT could not perform good but they remain committed with democracy . Zardari very sharply dealt with continuous conspiracies of establishment .
I knew that PPP can not perform better in coming election but they are willing for fair election
Fair elections and democracy is only way for Pakistan .
God help us .
Re: Do you Support military’s role in formation of caretaker govt ??????
The maximum military involvement in election or caretaker government is to ensure security around polling booths but even para-military and police should be able to do that, so no military.

Police under their SHO...and SHO either under the outgoing MNA or upcoming hopeful. Police ke bas ki baat nahi...

Director General Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Major General Asim Saleem Bajwa has denied the military’s involvement in the re-emergence of Tahirul Qadri, chief of the Tehrik-i-Minhajul Quran, a local daily reported in its Wednesday edition.
The report, published in ‘The News’, quoted the army spokesman as “categorically” denying the speculation linking Qadri to the military establishment.
When asked whether the military establishment had “brought in Qadri to derail the system”, the ISPR DG said, “This is all speculation and totally incorrect.” Bajwa moreover said it was for the federal and the provincial governments to devise a strategy on tackling the issue of the Jan 14 long march.
The ISPR DG said neither the federal nor the provincial government had approached the military for assistance on the matter.
Tahirul Qadri on December 23, 2012 gave 18 days time (till January 10, 2013) to government to change the current system as per the constitution of the country and said that he would hold a public meeting of 4-million people in Islamabad on January 14 if their demands were not met.http://www.newspakistan.pk/2013/01/02/tahirul-qadri-pakistan/
