LAHORE: Dr Tahirul Qadri has directed activists of the Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) to enthusiastically join the June 17 sit-in being staged on The Mall in the provincial capital against killings of party workers in a police raid two years ago.

The direction came during a meeting of the PAT core committee here on Sunday.

Dr Qadri, who spoke by phone from Canada, asked the party leadership to focus on a mass-contact drive so that maximum general public could be mobilised for the show being organised to demand action against those who had directed the police raid.

He said representatives of the Supreme Court, Pakistan Bar, Lahore High Court and all district bars should be particularly invited to the sit-in.
