Dr Tahirul Qadri, the “container cleric” who wishes to bring about a revolution in the country from the plane’s business class section, has no policies and only wants to see himself on television.

“He sits there in his comfortable business seat, surrounded by flunkies and talks a lot of hot air about revolution,” leading British daily, The Telegraph quoted a passenger of the plane which was diverted to Lahore.

Qadri whose flight was diverted on Monday from Islamabad to Lahore, had refused to leave the plane for five hours.

The passenger of the same flight who was forced to drive to Islamabad leaving behind her luggage which was routed back to Dubai said, “All he [Qadri] really wants is to see himself on television. He has no policies.”

The Telegraph mentions that Qadri, 63, who lives in Canada has a large following in Pakistan thanks to his network of mosques and religious centres.

“Last year he ‘threw the capital into crisis’ for days when thousands of his supporters congregated in the centre of the city demanding electoral reform,” it said.

They went home after government ministers climbed a small wooden-step ladder into his bullet-proof box and “agreed a deal”, the newspaper recalls.

Qadri at first demanded a military escort before exiting the Emirates plane but finally agreed to leave with Punjab Governor Muhammad Sarwar and opposition politician, Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi.

  1. TUQ the container cleric,is going to make life difficult for the sharifs.the younger sharif starts the day by announcing the chicken and egg rates for the entire city of Lahore.

  2. Tahir Ul Qadri container cleric have many face. He is hyprocrite religious scholor. He took political asylum in Canada that he explain to canadian Immigration & refugees authority that he is facing life threats in Pakistan by Taliban. He has accepted his asylum application by Canadian Government, but according to asylum and refugees law he is not allowed to go back to this Country where he came. He has broken the refugee and immigration law, and he went to Pakistan. He dont have right to keep Canadian nationality.

    Tahir Ul Qadri is seeking support by Pakistani fascist military establishment, those smothering the freedom of media, because military establishment is a big obsticle for continues democratic system in Pakistan. Pakistani military establishment utilizing religious groups against democratic business class politicians, because military establishment consist on fascist feudals, those responsible for Bangladesh Genocide in 1971. They were raped 200,000 bengali innocent womens, but they did not transfer the political power to Eat Pakistan. Tahir Ul Qadri is a small pressure group of military establishment, because some feudals of Punjab were hidden by Tahir Ul Qadri and playing a central role on the back of this container clerk.
