A social activist Jahangir Akhtar, generally known as Pakistani Anna Hazare in the capital city, kicked off on Monday his “hunger strike until death” against corruption and huge bigotry allocations for national defence. On the first day of his strike, Jahangir succeeded to muster the support of several human rights activists, social activists and political leaders. He established his protest camp outside the Super Market and said he would stay there until the acceptance of his demands.
Speaking on the occasion, Jahangir said that he heard about Anna Hazare’s protest but was not inspired by him. “I decided first to stage the same protest against corruption but he postponed his strike due to the Ramadan. “My struggle is against Pakistan’s security mindset that has a long history, spanning over decades,” he added. He said that any accident or military escalation might take a massive toll on human lives around the cantonments.
“Sky-rocketing inflation, swelling foreign loans and massive defence expenditures looked to me symptoms of a vulnerable Pakistan. So I announced an abrupt, emotional decision to stage a hunger strike from July 21 which I had to alter due to Ramadan” he added.
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan on the occasion paid tribute to Jahangir, saying that he took the much-needed step for the welfare of the country. He said his party would support Jahangir’s demands.
Farzana Bari, human right activists, on the occasion said that the public should support Jahangir Akhtar.
Senator Hasil Bizenjo also vowed to present bills introduced by Jahangir Akhtar in the parliament. He said that more millions of people had to struggle for food because of abject poverty.

  8. . the politicians in india and pakistan are just looting common people hard earned money and making their political needs. internationally we both are treated like most poor and corrupted countries. .. i am sure we have enough capabilities to get our country in the top list of the world if we get rid of such corrupted government and system.. their should be fight against such a bad system and it will be a long journey .. and my best wishes to all Pakistan.

  10. Plz show solidarity to great cause of Great Persons( Anna and Jahangir) for the better future with peace and harmony for our kids in India and pakistan.

  11. The transformation which Anna Hazare’s hunger-strike and the overall anti-corruption movement have brought in common man’s psyche is of “Self Realisation”. This self realisation of notion of honesty in public life would soon have a cascading effect both in Pakistan & India as well. Changes start on a very small scale, but are adopted by others soon, which usher a transformation in the style of functioning at various levels. Moreover change is the law of nature and no one can ignore it.” Pakistan, now though separated, has deep tradition and cultural links with nation and one must not forget the fact that we were one civilisation, the oldest on earth.

  12. Well done, Mr. Jahangir, The thing you are doing is must in developing countries. I think most of the people in pakistan should be with you? The people should be in the way of progress, not on the way of war or curroption.

    All the best

    Keep it up.

  15. I am an Indian but I support the move of Shri Jahangir Akhtar taken for the betterment of his country. I hope the Pakistani people also understand the historic importance of steps taken by him. Let’s pray to god for his success in the mission. Pakistani people and media must support him at this juncture and his credibility should not be allowed to spoil at any cost.

  18. I am Indian and i support and appreciate the move Mr.Jahangir Akhtar ji must have the kind of support Mr. Anna ji has in India. Only then can his movement succeed.People of Pakistan must come out in huge numbers to support him. Its nation's cause after all. Without citizen's support no agitation can succeed. It should be peaceful also. All the best to the people of Pakistan.

Get tax paid by everyone to break the begging bowl.Amazed that Pakistanis are not responding with enthusiasm with which Indian stood shoulder to shoulder with Anna.

  42. I support his action and will like to join him at the camp in the coming days. Raja sahib and people of Pakistan, please demand repatriation of Pakistanis black money stashed in Swiss Banks which according to Wikileaks is in excess of $200 billion. Get that money back and save Pakistan's people of inflation and every month rises in electricity, gas and petroleum.
