A petition was moved in the Supreme Court in Lahore registry on Monday against the founder of Tehreek-e-Minhaj-ul-Quran and Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) Dr Tahir-ul-Qadri, seeking the apex court to stop him from political activities.
Barrister Zaffarulla, the petitioner, has pleaded the apex court that Tahir-ul-Qadri and Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) are hatching conspiracy to delay upcoming general elections.
He further said that a commission had termed Qadri a mental patient.
Zaffarulla requested the court to put Qadri’s name in the Exit Control List (ECL) as, according to him, he was hatching conspiracy against democracy.
Dr Qadri, who is set to hold long march towards Islamabad on January 14, has also invited the MQM to participate in the march.
