Apropos 'Ending the sit-in stand-off', editorial carried by Business Recorder on October 5, it has been argued that "while PTI Chairman Imran Khan continues to hang on to his maximalist position refusing to call off the sit-in until the acceptance of his demand for the Prime Minister's resignation, his party's protest politics partner, PAT chief Tahirul Qadri, is slowly but surely opting for the compromise route. The latter told supporters from Lahore, Gujranwala, Faisalabad and Karachi on Friday they could go home."
Asking his supporters who have flocked his sit-in from the towns he named, Qadri was only stepping up pressure on an embattled prime minister in the absence of a clear picture or data of people at his sit-in. Moreover, Qadri has shown more resilience and steadfastness towards his 'revolution' than Imran Khan and his supporters have demonstrated for their cause in nearly two-month-long protest in the Red Zone of Islamabad. The impression that he is opting for a compromise route has been effectively dispelled by Qadri himself through his approach to his 'revolution' protest. His is never an argument that lacks consistency.
