@Sa1eem

I do not know why ‘ghulam voters’ are upset with Qadri long-march?

Those who are naive and do not know what Qadri is asking then they should know that:

Pakistani constitution has laid down eligibility conditions for candidates wanting to contest assembly election.

Nevertheless, even though constitution do not allow (considers ineligible for contesting election) candidates who are rushwat-khor, haram-khor, mardood-e-jahan, khaslatan khabees, corrupt, criminal, liar, adulterer, looter, defaulter, rapist, power misuser, involved in nepotism, etc … to contest election … still, caretaker government and election commission till now was keeping blind eyes towards contesting candidates…

We vote for them Sa1eem bhai. Even after people know all these beautiful characteristics of these beautiful people, they still vote for them.

It is somehow our psychology that law breakers are assumed to be greater human beings then law abiding citizens. We need to educate people to HATE haram-khori and law breaking (in every aspect of life, including driving on roads) and vote for better candidates.

What would Qadri sb achieve? Who would decide which of the candidates is an angel and which one is corrupt? If we let the democratic process to complete a few cycles, the mega haram-khors should be eventually weeded out (given increasing literacy rate in Pakistan).

Yes, we need electoral reforms but not the kind Qadri sb demands. We need smaller constituencies with much larger number of seats in parliament, considering the size of the country. Smaller constituencies would make contesting elections easier and cheaper for ‘shareef’ candidates.
