Punjab Law Minister Rana Mashood Ahmed Khan has said that workers of Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) had intended to occupy Islamabad’s Benazir Bhutto International Airport (BBIA) and thus the government had to divert PAT chief Dr Tahirul Qadri’s plane to Lahore.

Talking to journalists in Lahore on Monday, the provincial law minister said that followers of Dr Qadri had injured over 100 security personnel in Islamabad and Rawalpindi but they had not been arrested anywhere in Punjab.

Mashhood said PAT workers had also tortured policemen in Lahore while the Punjab government and its police handled the situation with patience. He said that Punjab Police deserved to be praised as they demonstrated self-restraint despite being attacked by protestors.

A LAUGHING STOCK:

The minister said that Dr Qadri had made Pakistan a “laughing stock” across the world. He said there was no bar on Dr Qadri’s political workers on staging protests but demonstrating on strategic assets including airports and the Parliament were not tolerable.

“Qadri sent messages on twitter to spread chaos in Pakistan. Those who do not want Pakistan to prosper now stand exposed before the nation,” Mashhood added.

He said that the government followed democratic values and thus Qadri was given space to let go of the “plane hijacking move” – a situation which was bringing a bad name to the country.

The minister said that he also advised Qadri to inquire after the wounded policemen who were tortured by his followers.
