LAHORE: Pakistan Awami Tehreek chief Dr Tahirul Qadri has alleged that the JIT probing the Panama case is a fixed match and certain elements are playing the role of a watchdog.

At a function held on Friday in memory of Model Town victims, he reiterated his allegation that a strategy was being devised in the JIT for the ruling PML-N for next general elections.

He claimed he knew justice would not be done to the Model Town victims but he would continue his struggle till his last breath and that the party would not allow the killers to “become another Raymond Davis”.

The ceremony was also addressed by PPP’s Qamar Zaman Kaira, PTI’s Mahmoodur Rasheed, Ijaz Chaudhry and Dr Firdous Ashiq Awan.
