It was very disconcerting to read in the national press that while thousands of followers of Dr Tahirul Qadri were shivering in the rainy winter nights of Islamabad with hundreds of children sick from cold, their leader was perspiring in the overheated container he was in. It is said that when Alexander the Great was travelling along the Mekran coast with his tired army, they faced a severe shortage of water and when a soldier found some water in a rain puddle, he collected that water in his helmet and brought it for Alexander to drink. He after looking at his thirsty soldiers poured it on the ground. While this act heartened his depressed soldiers who were hitherto in a mood of mutiny, as such it shows his concern for his men which unfortunately were non-existent in maverick Dr Tahirul Qadri.
