"Through reforms, we need to restructure our political and electorial processes, for true and real democracy in our political and economic spheres, so that democracy can become a right of every single citizen of Pakistan", said the cleric.
"This democracy is confined to only one per cent elite and we reject this democracy out of hand", said the cleric.
As the cleric spoke, the authorities tried to ban cable TV for sometime to black out his speech, and cellphone networks were jammed across Pakistan.
Police had to fire in the air and fire teargas shells to disperse angry protesters trying to remove barricades.
