Re: Islamabad Lock Down
Yes it is complete chaos if one looks it from Media, specially ARY’s view point…
Here is the real situation of Lahore and Sialkot:
Lahore, lawyers and their supporters tried to shut down mall road ( beating people for not listening) being shunned away and traffic was normal in few minutes…
On Friday, normally between 11:30 a.m. - 1:00 is rush hour…traffic is normally jam in these hours…
On Friday, i was in Sialkot and feared that it might be hercules task to reach Lahore ( as i have to attend a wedding in the evening) but guess what, there was no or unnoticeable protest in Sialkot and Gujaranwala…i reached Lahore on time without any major hurdle…
Lahore was open as usual…few people here and there were trying to block roads but when people resisted and on some occasion police reached the venue no one stood the ground…being resident of Lahore we are use to see people proresting of things at Chairing Cross…PTI couldn’t even gather enough to register protest there…
Life was totally normal in Lahore, Sialkot and Gujranwala…
Yesterday evening there was a show called Muhaaz on Dunya TV…it will give you clear idea of how many workers of PTI are there in Bani-Gala…
People of Pindi would confirm that apart from Raja Bazar/Committe Chowk…all Pindi and ISB had life as usual..
In Karachi, PTI announced a protest rally after Jumma Prayer, the rally was not seen anywhere…
Still fail to see chaos anywhere but in PTI ranks…yes there is hype in Media who is dont have anyother content and always try to maks mountain out of Mole.
i am not in pakistan these days, so i dont know what is the ground situation in punjab and how are people reacting. i have to rely on blogs, internet, social media and electronic and print media
