LAHORE: Pakistan Awami Tehreek chief Dr Tahirul Qadri laments that some problem surfaces whenever some serious progress is likely to take place in the Model Town tragedy in which 14 activists of the party were shot dead by the police.

He told a delegations of party leaders from Pakistan and abroad on Friday the new joint investigation team formed by the government had almost completed its work when it was barred from compiling its report by the court.

He said they would move the high court as well as the Supreme Court if need be for winning justice for the victim families of the incident taken place in June 2014. He claimed that the relief being given to the Sharifs in the form of bail in the corruption case and removal of name from the no-fly list was mainly to provide them a chance for “arranging payment for settling the issues”.
