2014-08-27
[DAWN] ISLAMABAD: 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 Tuesday said the current situation will not be simply resolved with the resignations of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif
... served two non-consecutive terms as prime minister, heads the Pakistain Moslem League (Nawaz). Noted for his spectacular corruption, the 1998 Pak nuclear test, border war with India, and for being tossed by General Musharraf...

, but only with their hangings.

"Now the matter will not be resolved with the government's resignation but with the Sharifs being hanged," said the PAT chief.

Speaking to his supporters in a inflammatory speech, Qadri said that the prime minister and Punjab CM were both responsible for the Model Town incident and have to be punished for it.

"Nawaz Sharif you are not safe any longer," said the PAT leader.

"Such a big incident could not have taken place without the consent of both the Sharif brothers," said Qadri

He said that both Nawaz and Shahbaz must resign and hold themselves accountable before the law.

"Is there anyone who will listen to the orphans of the Model Town deaders...I have always said that the deaders have won, while the murderers have lost," Qadri said.

Tahirul Qadri also said that it was better to die from bullets by the ruling class rather than by hunger.
