Minhaj-ul-Quran chief Dr Tahir-ul-Qadri on Saturday asked the nation to reject the existing electoral system and invited students to play the same role as they had played for the creation of Pakistan.
He was addressing a students’ moot through a video conference from Canada. The moot entitled ‘Students’ Awareness Congregation’ was organised by the Mustafvi Students Movement (MSM) at Nasir Bagh. A large number of students attended the congregation.
While addressing the students, Tahir-ul-Qadri said that neither the military nor the prevailing electoral system could bring a change, only rebellion from the existing status quo was the last resort. “I have only called the students now, I will also call the public at Minar-e-Pakistan and lead the revolution,” he added.
He said that the political parties were not anti-Pakistan but it was the system which was against the country, adding that the two-party system in the West was successful because there was a proper mechanism of accountability.
He said that some political families were enjoying their hegemony over the politics and regretted that Pakistan has become a colony of international powerhouses. Criticizing the parliamentarians, he said that they were contributing to suicides and unemployment in the society only, adding that the parliament was not more than a rubber stamp.
