@rasheed,
Welcome back. The successful series of PTI's dharnas and Jalsas, and the yesterday's grand show in one of the most important cities of Punjab, have finally woken you up. Who can blame you?
You say:
"The number of people that Imran Khan can gather in a jalsa has no comparison to what other parties can do.
Any single MNA or MPA of PMLN can gather equivalent number without problem. Just do the multiplication and get the result."
I challenge you - yes I challenge you. Show us anything of the kind arranged in recent months (or even years) by any "PMLN MPA/MNA". Heck, show us anything of the kind arranged by your leader, Nawas Sharif.
No reference to long march - that was hijacking of a public movement by PMLN, in which civil society, many political parties, and lawyers participated.
You think you can repeat the empty cliches so easily? You think people here are ignorant? Here is something for you to consider:
- What happened to the "massive" reception that was to be organized for the PMLN leader, Nawas Sharif, upon his return from a three months stay in London, where he allegedly had a SERIOUS operation?
- What happened to the protest announced by Kh Saad Rafique, whom you mentioned favorably, upon the release of Raymond Devis? (Not to mention, it was another pathetic display of PMLN's hypocrisy and two faced nature, as it was fully involved in staging the release of the American culprit.)
And last but not least:
- What happened to the "long march", again, hypocritically announced by Shabaz Sharif, against the drone attacks, after witnessing the successful Peshawar dharna of PTI/Imran Khan which began a new chapter in Pakistan's politics?
For all your haughtiness, I challenge you to have Nawas Sharif - let alone a PMLN MNA or MPA - conduct a similar show any where in Pakistan with the same zest and enthusiasm present among the crowd, as seen in PTI's last night Faisalabad Jalsa, or the Multan Jalsa of month ago, or the Karachi and Peshawar dharnas, three and four months ago, respectively.
The time of PMLN fooling the nation has gone. Now no sincere people can trust PMLN, and it knows that.
We have had one of recent PMLN jalsas in Sindh where Nawas Sharif addressed the crowed. One clip of that jalsa, brought infamy to N-league:

When compared to this:

Should I spell the difference?
Where is the "multiplier effect", Rasheed?
It is not the abundance of crowed gathering MPAs or MNAs (like Anjum Aqeel?) which is stopping Nawas Sharif from conducting jalsas where he is addressing the crowd. That is something an opposition political leader in the times as of present would wish for. Rather, it is his fear - both of his life, and the inability to gather respectable attendance resulting from total undressing of PMLN in the last three years - which stops him form leading jalsas.
Don't try to fool people here, Mr. Rasheed.
