As the committee consisting of Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain, Dr Farooq Sattar, Kursheed Shah, Afrasiyab Khattak, Qamar Zaman Kaira and other representatives of the government begin to negotiate with Tehrik Minhajul Quran (TMQ) chief Dr Tahirul Qadri, the country waits to see what the outcome might be.
Qadri earlier addressed the increasing crowd who still continue the sit-in despite rain, cold weather and difficult circumstances at D-Chowk near Parliament House in Islamabad.
He urged his supporters to remain determined despite severe circumstances; he said, the corrupt government is not bothered about the plight of the poor, the corruption is rampant and the rulers are just concerned about their loot and plunder.
He questioned why laws were not made to prevent terrorism. Qadri rhetorically asked as to who allowed terrorists with tattoos to enter Pakistan and organize attacks on military; and who allowed Uzbek nationals to slaughters Pakistani soldiers.
Qadri maintained that the money received from World Bank, Paris Club and money from the US in the name of counter terrorism went directly into the pockets of the corrupt leaders.
He further said that the government had failed to protect life, liberty and honor of the people of Pakistan, adding that if reforms were not implemented the looters and plunderers would come back after elections.
TMQ chief praised media for standing by with the people of Pakistan during the long march and the sit-in.
