Channel 4 News interviewed the cleric leading the protests:

Interesting that there's rumours he's a military stooge in this. There's similar allegations about Imran Khan who refused Qadri's invitation to join the protests but has said their agenda's broadly the same - Qadri agrees with him and the only point of departure is that Khan what's a non-partisan caretaker government during the forthcoming elections.
