ISLAMABAD: Leader of Opposition in the National Assembly Syed Khursheed Ahmed Shah has expressed serious concern over the political situation in the country after the announcement of Dr Tahirul Qadri to join PTI’s Azadi March.

In a statement on Sunday, the PPP leader said the situation was getting “dangerous” and fears were emerging that the democratic set-up could be wrapped up.

The PPP leader said that Dr Qadri had made “very dangerous announcements”. “Who will be responsible if the country witnesses bloodbath after the annou­ncement of Dr Qadri?” he asked.

Mr Shah said the country was heading towards confrontation.

He said the situation required that the security forces should be on high alert in the coming days.
