A day later, the government found a face-saving formula to send the preacher-politician – and, more important, his followers – home, promising that the Election Commission will be given the time to determine candidates’ eligibility under the relevant constitutional provisions. So, in a way, Qadri’s arrival in Pakistan and his intense political activism have served a purpose: he has reinforced the people’s faith in a system that they are continuing to build.
1月16日，拉合尔大部分反对党举行连夜会议，拒绝了塔德里的要求，同时通知政府坚守到大选。一天后，政府找到了挽回颜面的办法，将这位牧师政客——更重要的，还有他的追随者——遣送回国，并承诺给选举委员会时间以确定候选人是否符合选举法的相关规定。因此，从某种程度上说，塔德里的巴基斯坦之行及其强烈的政治激进主义达到了目的：他增强了人民的对他们正在建设的制度的信念。
