‘Dr Tahir-ul-Qadri and the millions of Pakistani’s in Islamabad have won.’

Dr Qadri set a deadline of 1 hour 30 minutes at 1:30pm for the President to come to him and start dialogue. Within that time the call came and a ten member team was sent within forty minutes and dialogue began. After five intense hours the ‘Islamabad Long March Declaration’ was finalised and it was sent with a three member team to the Prime Minster who then signed this. Then all the ten members signed the agreement as well as Dr Qadri. The Islamabad Long March Declaration was presented to the millions which consists of the some of the following: the National Assembly will be dissolved before March 16, from then the 90 day caretaker procedure will take place, a thirty day scrutiny of all candidates of Parliament according to Articles 62 and 63, the discussion of the Election Commission reconstitutionalisation will take place within two weeks, free, fair, honest and just elections will take place and the Supreme Court verdict of 8th June 2012 will be fully implemented. This is the success of the most peaceful green revolution in the history of the world. There was no bloodshed nor deaths and no harm nor destruction to the city. This was the first time in the history of Pakistan that there was a peaceful march which lasted five days, even despite terrorism threats and police attacks, people came out and continuously kept coming and stayed to take their rights back.
