Dharna & its Objectives:• Non violent sit-in process• Anti Government Protest• Demand of justice• State response of criminal cases.• Payment of a debt.• Some are against & some are in favour of sit-in. William Faulkner

is in favour of sit-in. He says that “………………………………….”.• Its obvious that silence gives straight to the authority.• It is the duty of youth to challenge corruption.

Dharna In Pakistan

• 2014 is likely to be remembered as the year of dharna in Pakistan.• Dharna as a form of protest has been known in Pakistan since 1977.• Dharna were made to drive the attention of the rulers towards society.• The New Pakistan dharna better identified as container dharna appeared in

2014.• It was organized by Imran Khan & Dr.Tahir ul Qadri to Challenge the

Government.• For the one fourth of the year dharna was the top story for the media and

the govt. was largely paralysed.

Effect of Dharna on Pakistan’s Economy

• By 31 august, the govt. claimed economic losses directly resulting from the sit-in were between Rs500 million & Rs800 million.• On 26 September, an adviser to PM claimed the losses had run

up to $6 billion (RS610 Billion).• According to some source the economic losses exceed to 1000

billion rupees.• 1 billion rupees spent on sit-in security.• It made considerable noise about the dharna being an

unconstitutional or illegal step.• In fact one does not have a correct estimate of the economic

losses to the state.

Effect of Dharna on Pakistan’s Economy

• China, Turkey, Saudi Arabia are giving economic help to Pakistan. It is not bearable for the enemies of our country and they are orginising such protests.• They are aware of that situation that if 2 or 3 lakh people protest

on the road it would ruin the whole economic system of Pakistan.• People are depress and frustrated over that situation and they

have become hopeless victim. It leads them towards suicide and un employment.• The govt. accused the dharna organizer of causing huge losses to

the state especially by creating a situation that prevented the Chinese President from coming to Pakistan and scared other investors away.
