According to our sources in Pakistan, a local bussinessman and a lifetime activist has declared his intent to go on an indefinite hunger strike unless some of his demands about Islamabad and Pakistan are considered by the authorities. Mr. Raja, as is obvious from his press release, understands the futility of this gestures but hopes that his “death” will somehow mobilize the people.
I do not have a lot of details, but provided below is a Youtube interview and images of his statements and list of demands:

This is just about time that someone has come forward with this idea. I’ve never advocated the idea of a military intervention to out throw incumbent government, how corrupt and unsuccessful it may be. Democratic process should continue so as to have opportunity to evolve over the period. Such an agitation which could result in pass or amendment of bills in parliamant is the appropriate way to bring a revolution. You have all my best wishes.
Yet it is a sad fact that I have not heard of this act anywhere on electronic media, nor through social media channels. I intend to start compaigning for it theough facebook and text messages, and so should you. If such an agitation is to happen, it should bring fruits. Otherwise it’d end up lowering people’s hopes further in a peaceful revolution.
We all Indian common man are with you dear Akhtar. This is the only way 2 countries can achieve peace with each other and prosper not only by wealth but also ethically , socially and by character. All the best wishes to you , I salute not only your patriotism but also kind and compassionate qualities within you . May there arise billions of Raja Jahangir Akhtars and Anna Hazzares in India and Pakistan and throughout the world to improve quality of live in the entire world.

Dear Respected Sir, Thanks a lot for starting your campaign to remove corruption from your country. It’ll certainly help to make a corruption free nation and world. I’m an Indian and have been a part of Mr. Anna Hazare’s anti-corruption campaign. I support u and my best wishes are with u.
