| 2014-08-20 |
| [DAWN] 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... announced on Monday midnight at the expiry of the deadline he had set for the government to quit that a 'people's parliament' would be held at the venue of his sit-in at 5pm on Tuesday. He appealed to the masses to turn up in the large number for the event. "It will now be haram to sit at home," he said. Recalling the hardships suffered by PAT workers at the hands of Punjab police in the aftermath of Model Town tragedy, he said the likely 'revolution' by his party would be dedicated to the 14 'deaders' of Lahore. "So far I and other leaders of Inqilab march took decisions but tomorrow the decision will be made by the people. Whatever the decision will be taken by people, we will accept it," he said. |
