Qadri delays ‘Inquilab’ to 5pm today
27
ISLAMABAD: As the deadline given to the government by Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) expired at midnight on Monday, PAT chief Dr Tahirul Qadri said that a meeting of 'people's parliament' would be staged at the protest sit-in and urged the masses to participate in large numbers.
He congratulated the demonstrators on carrying out a successful sit-in and urged them to stay active. “It’s now prohibited to sit in homes," he said. “Tomorrow at 5pm in the evening … a meeting of people’s parliament will be held,” he added.
Recalling the hardships faced by PAT workers from the Punjab Police in the aftermath of Model Town tragedy, he said the likely ‘revolution’ by his party will be dedicated to the 14 ‘martyrs’ of Lahore.
On the occasion, he termed the ‘14 martyrs of Model Town tragedy’ as real heroes.
The anti-government cleric said that the ‘inqilaab’ cannot wait any longer.

Inquilab against own people, own brothers and sisters, against Pakistanis, against Muslims has no place in Pakistan. People like Nawaz Sharif will come and go but an Inquilab, revolution, civil disobedience, protest marches, sit-ins, intimidation, threats organized at will of one or two leaders to bring down governments (popular or unpopular) and not following proper procedure to change government as provided in constitution and laws of Pakistan is a threat to Pakistan and must be handled in a way that it should never be repeated in future.

Qadri Sahib are you contemplating more martyrs and more Inqlabs? Can you please do these activities back home in Canada. Leave the poor people of Pakistan alone. We have just started inching towards democracy. It is still very fragile and not at all ready for your revolutions.

Since the creation of Pakistan we have desired to vote a government and to vote a government out. We achieved it only at the last election. We want to have the pleasure of voting this government out ourselves. Please do not do it for us.

This is a very intelligent move, in fact he has given a final ultimatum to the government to step down or be ready for a joint PTI & PAT road show. He has candidly asked his workers to freshen-up for venturing deep into Islamabad. Frankly speaking Nawaz Sharif has lost the stolen mandate altogether. He will have to step down.

I am sure you mean well when You offer to remove this government for us. But do you not see how triumphant we felt when we removed the last one on the ballot box? If you think this government is wrong, then please educate us, inform us in order that WE remove this one at the next ballot.

If you are sincere then travel around the country holding informative rallies not revolutionary power displays wielding sticks. Tell the masses the wrong things our leaders are doing and most of all offer them a better alternative they can select within the bounds of constitution at the time designated by the constitution.

TUQ making references to Moses, Maulana Fazal Rehman claiming Jewish plan, at least 2 'religious' groups now joining TUQ, what does this all mean? Is civil war and breakup of Pak is the agenda here? Pakistan's good luck is that ess than 50,000 people showed up for IK and TUQ out of 200 million. The government should arrest TUQ for hate speech, creating this chaos and remove the 50,000 tamasha watchers from islamabad so life in islamabad can return to normal. Government must act with authority and without delay. Any negotiation under this situation will be construed as government's surrender to black mail and will weaken the government' writ

@Sam Watkins I'm not sure Canadians would stand for a government as corrupt as this one either...extreme times call for rapid action, but when the judiciary and election commission, police etc are bought out, people power is the only way forward
