Assalam Alaikum
Permit me start by apologising to everyone from the underside of my bosom for the postponement in describing back about the resultant of our pro-Musharraf protestation which happened on 16 August 2009, outside the Pakistan High Committee in London. I accept full obligation for the postponement, which was maked ascribable work pressure and menage committedness.
Alas, I demo the study below for those who were unable to join us for this protestation.
A call was done on this blog denoting the program to deal a pro-Musharraf protestation in light of the vehement onslaughts founded against the former President in Pakistan. Shortly thenceforth, a figure of voluntaries step to the fore to aid with the planning and execution of this protestation. So six someones, all either on full-time businesses or canvassing full-time, organized a grouping named the `` Musharraf Supporters Confederation
`` in order to organize a pro-Musharraf protestation on Aug 16 outside the Pakistan High Committee in London.
Holding no experience under our belts of organising such an event, this was to be a enormous acquisition experience for us. In hindsight, we maked a antic line and progrgram to proceed with our endeavor in the futurity.
Mostly Brits Pakistani homes attended the protestation. At the extremum we holded a bit over 100 people in the protestation. For the major portion, we holded about 80-90 participants. To set this in position, a figure of protestations established by PML-N protagonists and, e.g., friends of Imran Khan, hold usually garnered either 20 about dissidents or, at the most, around 60 dissenters. When `` stars '' such as Imran Khan and/or Jemima Goldworker are present, the figure of dissidents usually attends to around 100 or a trifle above. Given the fact this was our rattlingly first try, this was a rattlingly good start to tell the least. Consider of this as a warming-up session
, with the large event coming your mode presently after Eid.
The protestation was given coverage by a figure of media channels, including ARY, GEO, DUNYA, Star Word, Russian Intelligence channel ( channel # 512 on SKY ), and a couple of papers likewise. According to the ARY newsperson, although she claimed she was unable to find the individualities of the organisers, it was clear to her that the organisers were educated British Pakistanis. Moreover, she kept, that the dissenters were besides secular Brits Pakistani educated people who holded come out with their homes to support the former President, with no ties with any party. This, I believe, was a good complement and we negociated to convey a positive belief to others.
Please mind that when the clods of the gawk Nawaz Sharif, e.g., behavior protestations, their participants are political manpowers and lower-class yobbo. Homes usually make not participate in their protestations. In our instance, in crisp contrast, many menages holded tacked outside the Pakistan High Committee to voice their support for former President Musharraf.
Deadly before the start of the protestation, as the organisers were doing some readyings, we were joined by an senior Pakistani physician who populated more or less the Pakistan High Committee. He was opposing Musharraf and was enquire why we supported him, though in a polite and non-confrontational mode. A figure of organisers holded a confab with him and after, during the protestation, the MD exhibited vast kindness by buying orange juices and sharing them with the dissidents, who were intoning their shibboleths under the blinding Sun with not a cloud in sight. The doc was given transcripts of the stuff we holded produced warranting our support for Musharraf and explicating the ground behind our resistance to Nawaz Sharif and Iftikhar Chaudhry.
The dissidents were well-behaved, suchly so that when at the terminal the organisers near the constabulary to thank them for their help, the law told that ours was one of the best-behaved protestation they holded the pleasance to supervise. In other words, those who support Musharraf were not merely educated, but moved in a civilised style, without making any problem and incommodiousness to anyone.
This protestation was a good start and a success to state the least. It forced out echt friends of Musharraf, boosters who desire cypher reciprocally and who adore and support the former President for the immense good he holds maked for Pakistan. The participants were the immature, the old, male, female, and people voicing their support along with their houses.
Below are links to the pictures and video magazines of the protestation. Make mind that the videos associated below were done mostly at one time when we holded simply started the protestation, as the people were still collecting.
