[DAWN] The Pakistain Peoples Party (PPP) will resist any movement of Pakistain Awami Tehrik (PAT) leader 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...
to topple the democratic system in the country.
These views were expressed by PPP Punjab secretary information Abid Siddiqui in a statement issued on Sunday.
He said the PPP had requested Qadri not to start any campaign against the democratic system and let it function.
He said the PPP would stand by democratic parties to protect the system and Qadri would never be allowed to succeed in his agenda.
Abid alleged that Qadri would leave the country for Canada after the collapse of the system and the people would have to face the consequences.
Earlier this week, Dr Tahirul Qadri vowed at a presser to topple the present government "within a few weeks".
He said he was committed to bringing a revolution in Pakistain, adding that a People's Revolutionary Council would be constituted shortly.
The PAT chief called upon people to stop obeying what he termed the illegitimate orders of the authorities.
Qadri had returned to Pakistain in late June to lead what he called a revolution. He was scheduled to arrive in Islamabad but the government had ordered the diversion of the aircraft carrying him to Lahore.
