The Islamabad police has registered a case against Dr Tahirul Qadri and 21 of his associates for disrupting official work, robbery, use of weapons, attempt to murder, inciting people and several other offences. The case was registered on the statement of Bahra Kahu SHO Mehboob, who was injured during the demonstrations staged by workers of the Tehreek Minhajul Quran (TMQ). Qadri rejected the case, terming it a pressure tactic by the government. He said he did not accept any such proceedings by the police, adding that it was all being done on the directions of Interior Minister Rehman Malik. He said the TMQ had filed an application in the same police station, seeking registration of a case against Malik but the police had refused to register the case. “Therefore, the TMQ has approached the court in this connection hoping it will provide relief to them,” he said.
