ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) chief Dr Tahirul Qadri on Thursday was delivering a speech to his supporters in Islamabad's Red Zone area.

Qadri said that the residence central vice president of the PAT, Sajid Parvez, was looted by robbers. He added that the party's postbearer was subjected to torture.

Condemning the robbery incident, the PAT chief alleged that under the incumbent government's rule there would be no justice for the weak.

He claimed that those having a fake mandate were shedding tears for democracy and added that the laws and constitution remains suspended in the country.

"Don't test our patience!" Qadri said.

The firebrand cleric further said that if parliamentarians stopped lending their support to Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif then his (Sharif's) corruption would end.

He also said that Members of National Assembly received millions of rupees for medical treatment and added that when he was a MNA his son had undergone a surgery but he had not taken a single rupee from the national exchequer.

Qadri told his supporters that he was living in a one-canal house 35 years ago and was still living in the same one-canal residence.

Further criticising the legislators, he claimed that they were all enemies of Pakistan and Pakistanis and were only thought of their own interests.

He also alleged that legislators who remained absent from the parliaments received their TA/DA allowances after paying bribes.

He said that the Sharif brothers were the owners of more than 50 factories and take loans worth billions of rupees which are not repaid.
