Once earned laurels slapped his own self

Dr Tahirul Qadri, Chairman, Tehreek Minhajul Quran who had certainly touched horizon by launching long march from Lahore to Islamabad and then staying back with thousands of his supporters including men, women and children for 4 long days and nights in Islamabad under very odd weather conditions has regretfully himself slapped his both cheeks with his own hands for no reason and rhyme.

He who has acquired Canada citizenship and had been away from Pakistan for quite many years came back to Pakistan and announced that he wants political reforms before the next general election and to achieve that goal he mobilized the masses and he did triumph in his efforts to the extent that he woke up the masses from somber sleep and he should have been satisfied whatever he had achieved which was quite commendable and the same was appreciated in most of the circles but he was not satisfied and wished to go much beyond which proved fatal and disgraceful. Dr Qadri who once had been professor of law at Punjab University Law College, Lahore was not only grossly mistaken but overwhelmed to have approached Supreme Court of Pakistan in connection with reconstitution of Election Commission of Pakistan which has not been accepted by SC and it dismissed his petition. He had thought that he will convince SC to agree to his plea and reconstitute ECP without realizing that he played with fire which could even burn him but he thought he will burn others and not self. During the hearing, SC has even asked him to prove his good intentions so far as reconstitution of ECP is concerned. Chief Justice Iftikhar presiding over the bench was very loud and clear to ask him as to what could be his interest to ask for it when on the one hand he is not eligible to contest the election and on the other hand those who are stake holders namely members of the Senate or National Assembly or even political parties have not asked for dissolution and reconstitution of ECP? At one stage Dr Qadri was asked by the  SC not only to stop speaking anymore rather even to leave the rostrum which is just short of asking him to leave the court room which as such is very much killing and insulting to be honest if he truly realizes.
