A revolution for change

Second day of peaceful protests in Pakistan by PTI supporters demanding  fair re-elections in Karachi, Lahore, Rawalpindi, Hyderabad, Islamabad and basically any other area where rigging took place. Processions began in Karachi, spreading to Lahore by the evening of 12th May. Thousands came out, demanding fair re-elections and condemning rigging. The numbers grew as night progressed, the media aiding  the youth and those who voted for "Naya(new) Pakistan," reporting each procession with successful effect. Karachi's procession at Teen Talwar(three swords) ended at around 10pm on 12th May while Lahore protested into the night.

The morning on 13th May 2013 was greeted with more protests in Karachi by other political parties' supporters as well as Lahore's determined 24 hour(now 48 hour protest). The social media united the nation once again as it had done on election day, the news of protests spreading throught Pakistan and revolution began in other parts of the country, all the people standing up for fair elections. Before nightfall, Karachi, Hyderabad, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Lahore and Balochistan held peaceful processions against rigging and demanded fair re-elections. Threats greeted the protestors and the media as well, threats which were reported and soon the protests spread to London, demanding action against these threats.

Whoever said Pakistanis are not united did not see these last three days. These days when the nation stood up to vote for change, when the nation stood up for fairness, when the nation stood up against rigging and corruption. The simple wish for a new Pakistan has united the nation against all wrong, it has united the nation under the name of fairness, it has united the nation under one leader(who did not win the elections)...Imran Khan. Pakistanis in the country's major cities are standing up, they are coming out, they are leaving the safety of their homes, whether rich or poor, whether educated or not, whether Punjabi, Pashtun, Sindhi, Muhajir, Balochi or any other sect...they are standing up and protesting peacefully for whats right. In the words of Imran Khan: "Change will not come...Change is already here"
