Azadi March
The stance of Fazal ur Rehman (I am reluctant to call any person
Maulana as Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala has used this word for His self in Qura’n)
is becoming harder by the day and he is now reportedly about to launch his Plan
B in which a call would be given to block major arteries of the country
including certain specific spots of the capital Islamabad. This would certainly
lead to confrontation with the LEAs which could spell loss of life and
property. One wonders what FR and his followers are up to? One of his stalwarts
indicated that “Shutter Down” and “Jail Bharao” movements could also be parts
of Plan B.
If I were Imran, I would welcome this Jail Bharao movement, lead by the
front by the leaders of the movement, as it would at least keep most of
them away from the mischief. However, in view of the limited budget and paucity
of funds for the jails, I would ask them to bring their own rations and
beddings as the Jail authorities might not be able to feed and lodge adequately
such huge numbers and the poor leaders and their followers could suffer from
extreme hunger and cold in this weather.
Naturally, once an agitator enters the goal, he would not be allowed to
leave it before three years, eating his own rations, using his own bedding and
paying for the medical treatment, if he asked for one.
