Toppling govt is 'too small' an agenda, claims Qadri
2014-06-28
[DAWN] Dispelling impression of attempting to topple the elected government, Pakistain Awami Tehrik (PAT) chief Dr Tahirul Qadri
...Pak politician, and would-be dictator, founder and head of Tehreek-e-Minhajul Quran and Pakistain Awami Tehrik. He usually resides in Canada, but returns to Pakistain periodically to foam at the mouth and lead demonstrations. Depending on which way the wind's blowing, Qadri claims to be the author of Pak's blasphemy law. Other times he says it wasn't him...
on Friday said it was 'too small' an agenda to follow and his objective was to change the system, DawnNews reported.
"We'll settle for nothing less than world domination!"
Speaking to media representatives here, he said that his party was not interested in forming any grand alliance, refuting reports circling in the local media about a political alliance between the PAT and Imran Khan
... aka Taliban Khan, who ain't the sharpest bulb on the national tree...
's Pakistain Tehrik-e-Insaf
...a political party in Pakistan. PTI was founded by former Pakistani cricket captain and philanthropist Imran Khan. The party's slogan is Justice, Humanity and Self Esteem, each of which is open to widely divergent interpretations....

Qadri said he never talked about forming the alliance because in such an alliance parties agree and disagree on achieving goals that the alliance was formed on the basis of.

On Thursday, however, he hosted a meeting of all the like-minded parties at his residence in Model Town, which was attended among others by chief of the Awami Moslem League (AML), Sheikh Rasheed, leaders of the Pakistain Moslem League — Quaid (PML-Q) Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain and Chaudhry Pervez Elahi.

During the meeting, consultations and discussions were reportedly held over the next plan of action to be taken regarding the formation of an anti-government grand alliance.

Speaking on the killings of his party's supporters in the Model Town tragedy, he said that the "deaders' blood will not go in vain."

Dr Qadri returned to the country from Canada on Monday soon after the tragic incident in Lahore in which 12 workers of PAT were killed in a clash with the Punjab police. At this, the holy man vowed to take Dire Revenge" for the blood of his workers by toppling the government, through what he called a 'revolution'.

Previously on May 30, the PAT chief and the PML-Q leaders had agreed to join hands to launch a struggle for "devolution of power" after a meeting held in London.
