To revolt is a natural tendency of life. Even a worm turns against the foot that crushes it. In general, the vitality and relative dignity of an animal can be measured by the intensity of its instinct to revolt.

Imran Khan has boycotted the sham elections


Imran Khan has taken the lead and gone ahead and torn his election candidacy forms. We hope everyone follows his example. If there are no parties participating in the elections, Musharraf cannot get away with this shamocracy. But some pundits in Pakistan are saying he is an idealist, a dreamer. But what is so wrong about dreaming? This is the only luxury still left with us after the Emergency that we can still dream of a better future -- when we are respected. We have done nothing wrong. We are the hard working blood, flesh, and bones of this country. We are Pakistan. We drive the trucks, we make the shoes, we remove the rubbish from the cities, we build the roads and we harvest the crops. Then we get these rulers who impose their nightmares on us and put barbed wire around the edges of our dreams.

Dreamers of a better Pakistan. The People of Pakistan.

The only party worth voting for as it actually stands on principles. Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaaf took the right decision. Even if I get a chance to vote after a decade I will vote for him.

Bravo! Imran Khan, he made others look like dwarfs. He exposed all others. Right move it is. Boycott the elections.

Why participate in something which is fundamentally illegal. Good job.
