LAHORE: Pakistan Awami Tehreek leader Dr Tahirul Qadri has challenged the government to arrest or deport him if it can when he will land at Islamabad airport on June 23, a statement quoted him as telling the PAT's Punjab executive by telephone from Canada here on Sunday.

The government has reportedly activated FIA to probe use of donations for political purposes given by the masses for running Minhajul Quran, a religious movement.

Dr Qadri said he would surrender all assets of the Minhaj to the government if it proved use of even Rs100 of its funds for political purposes.
