| 2014-08-22 |
| [DAWN] Chief of the Pakistain Moslem League — Quaid (PML-Q) Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain said the army had given a 48 hour ultimatum to the prime minister. Speaking to DawnNews in an interview, Shujaat said that preparations were under way to hold a referendum for the formation of a national government. The PML-Q chief said that the army was against Nawaz, adding that the prime minister had opened far too many fronts with the armed forces. Shujaat added that no one will back down from the demand of the registration of cases against the Sharif brothers and other PML-N leaders over the Model Town tragedy. He said the protesters were not going anywhere and would only leave once the prime minister resigns. Shujaat's statement comes a day after the army said it didn't want to intervene in the political crisis which has developed as a result of the protests led by 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.... and Pakistain Awami Tehrik. Although both parties had begun to hold dialogue with the government, PTI has formally called off the talks and PAT chief 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... has vowed to continue the protests until his demands are met. |
