I stumbled upon a press release of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf UK Chapter about a successful protest against President Zardari’s visit to the UK on Aug 03 2010 outside the Churchill Hotel in central London. According to the press release “The protestors chanted anti Zardari slogans and held placards which expressed their feelings of disbelief over the timing of his trip in the wake of floods back home & Prime Minister David Cameron’s comments in India. The protest was at its peak when the President arrived at the Churchill hotel.” The press release also mentions that “the government is not seen to be providing any relief” which has seen more than 3 million people affected.
Fair enough, you have all the right in the world protest against a personality or if you do not believe in the politics of another person but what about the placards that were there? I for one can’t hear what slogans were chanted but what I can see from the placards are the following:
- “Zardari na kar Pakistan say ghaddari”
- “You are sucking the blood of Pakistanis”
- “Is Pakistan Promoting Terrorism? Zardari do you agree with Cameron?”
- “King of corruption”
- “Mr 99%”
- “King of thieves”
- “Pakistan ka Mir Jaffer”
- “Zardari-Part time president”
- “No to fake degrees” etc
I personally used to think that Imran Khan has at least attracted some tolerant and educated youth to his party (contrary to “civil society” belief that Imran Khan has all the educated youth is with him). Seeing these placards, I am quite ashamed. What surprised me most were the placards terming the President as “Mir Jaffar”. Also, the protest was not about the flood relief “inaction” but more personality driven.
I wonder what the onlookers would have thought about Pakistanis disgracing their own head of state.
The language used is absolutely fine since it is for Zardari, plus its all true. Even the British media refers to the Pres as Mr. Ten Percent.
But still PTI shouldn’t have protested like this, I mean the President is just there to enjoy his holidays 😉
And you wonder the British people must be thinking “about Pakistanis disgracing their own head of state”, well wonder upon this > (BBC) ” ”Pakistan is devasted with millions homeless. Meanwhile Pakistan’s leader spends night in Luxury London hotel”
These scoundrels will never be content. They made life hell for Benazir Bhutto and dragged her from court to court, yet the great lady sacrificed her life for Pakistan. What do these Londoners know of practical ground realities in Pakistan? I am ashamed to see there has been no protest against the remarks of British Premier, rather such disappointing language has been used against the elected President of Pakistan.
Mir Jaffar? dear patriots, stage a protest, rather a long march and a sit in at the residence of Altaf Hussain who is responsible for endless bloodshed in Karachi. Who being a British has absolutely no right to meddle in politics of Pakistan. He is the real Mir Jaffar of Pakistan. The Dawood Ibrahim of Karachi and Your dear Uncle Mush is in London, go hound him up.
Go ask Imran Khan what happened about the ‘Legal Case’ he was bringing up against Altaf Hussain a couple of years back on the 12th May incident in Karachi. Go ask the Chief Justice of Pakistan to take suo moto notice of the barbaric killings of 12th May. Go ask General Kiyani to cut the HUGE military budget and work for disaster management to give relief to the flood affected. .
We stand united with President Asif Ali Zardari and the Pakistan Peoples Party.
Pakistan Khappay !!
Most of these people are on benefits thats why they cant blame Cameron.
No doubt Zadari is a Mir Jafar of Pakistan [Mir Jafar was great great great Grand Father of Iskander Mirza and a Mir Jafar was a toady of East India Company] but those who are holding the banners placard with Bold Writing should take a deep breath and ask themselves as to what they are doing in a country which “Financed” Mir Jafar 200 years ago [correct the year If I am wrong], Great Britain is a US ally in War on Terror therefore living in UK is Haram.
daily jang repotrer from london murtaza ali shah is creating all the misunderstanding about zardari uk visit and stupid politician like imran khan and sharif brothers believing on his reporting,churchill hotel in london Executive Suite cost £590 and according to jang reporter it cost £7000 per night ,imran khan himself is in america ,lots of hypocracy by imran and sharif brother(who are doing politcs on floods)

You need to have your head examined. Mir Jaffar example is just to signify what Zardari is doing. What the hell are your talking about a country which financed Mir Jaffar. Think dear if you have a brain before you put pen to paper.
I find nothing wrong in this language. Rather some words are missing. For example Zardari Kutta etc.
The whole nation is happy that finally Zardari got long awaited SHOE THERAPY which he deserved aptly.
Get a life Mr.Ahmed, what is wrong with you? There is nothing wrong with these slogans.
