The cyber world remained electrified and fully involved in the rally of Pakistan Tehreek Insaaf (PTI) held at Minar-e-Pakistan on Sunday. The social media website users left many congratulation messages for PTI and its leader Imran Khan for holding a successful procession and hoped that Khan would be the usher for change that the country desperately needed.
The supporters and workers of PTI flooded the congratulation messages on Facebook, Twitter and different news websites. The users of Facebook changed their status and some wrote slogans in favour of PTI and Khan, some also mocking other leaders including President Asif Zardari and Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif. Majority of surfers were of the view that PTI had outclassed Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and some opined that Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) was also under threat from PTI. Majority of youngsters using the cyber world spoke their mind.
It seemed that everyone was keen of changing his/her status in favour of PTI. Many Facebook users changed their status of Facebook by leaving Imran Khan’s words on it. “Tabdeeli Aaa Nahin Rahiii, Tabdeeli Aaa Gayii Hai: Imran Khan!” a university student Sana Shoukat said in her status. Another youngster Iftikhar Alam said, “Khan delivered a heart-touching message to the people of Pakistan.” Interestingly, all the debates and statuses were in favour of PTI and hardly a single message was seen criticising the PIT.
The news sites remained active in updating the stories of procession while there were huge comments from readers on these sites. People living in other countries also chatted with their friends and relatives for getting information about the procession. “I doubt about media’s statement regarding the number of attendants therefore I asked from my cousin about actual position of gathering and they told me it was one of huge shows in the history of Pakistan,” said Fiaz Ali, who lives in UK.
Attabik Awan, studying in NUS, Singapore, updated his status to encourage his fellows at home to visit the rally. His status read: “In 1940 our forefathers gathered in this ground to create Pakistan. Today I call on you to gather in the same ground to save Pakistan. I will wait for you at Minar-e-Pakistan on Oct 30 at 1 pm for this. Regards, Imran Khan”.
