Or atleast, young women who kind of had a dream of marrying him would refrain from attending because their dream has already broken. These ladies and the boys who followed those girls into the dharnas also gave a fake impression to imran khan that he is very popular :D So, I hope this would give a bit of rest to Pakistani people. at last! Ok, pardon me for celebrating my freedom of speech, in politics we all have and should have an opinion or our own. I'm sure there's nothing wrong with that.

For most of the Sunnis and Shias out there, this is an emotional celebration not a religious one, just like independence day, father's day, mother's day but a bit more important than that one. Because we tend to love Prophet (PBUH
