ISLAMABAD: After staging an anti-government protest sit-in for two weeks in front of Parliament building in the federal capital, Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) Chief Dr Tahirul Qadri on Saturday night directed his followers to march towards the Prime Minister House.
Speaking to PAT protesters, he urged them to show restraint and march peacefully towards the PM House.
He also called upon Pakistan Thereek-i-Insaf (PTI) protesters and Chairman Imran Khan to march on the PM House with them.
Earlier, speaking to the protesters, Dr Qadri strongly condemned the government of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif for violating basic human rights to poor masses of the country.
He called on stage mother and brother of a girl who he claimed was gang-raped in Dera Ghazi Khan and committed suicide later. Dr Qadri condemned the incident, saying it highlights plight of the underprivileged in the country.
He then asked his supporters to pray for them and vows to take revenge from the rulers. “Daughters of the nation are dishonoured in this country,” he said.
Referring to PM Sharif’s statement followed by Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly, Syed Khursheed Shah’s press conference mirroring the premiers claim that they will safeguard democracy, Qadri said that ‘looters’ have realised the days of their ‘fake democracy’ are numbered.
