    Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) Rawalpindi district office-bearers tendered their resignations on Sunday, alleging that party Chairman Dr Tahirul Qadri had incited people to violence.

    Addressing a press conference, the PAT office bearers added that the call to “slaughter and physically engage with policemen was not within the domains of decency”.

    The district post-bearers alleged that they were not consulted regarding Qadri’s Sunday’s press conference in Lahore, adding that the party chief took decisions without taking any one else into confidence.

    The resigning officers said that they are not in favour of taking the law into their own hands.

    Talking about the resignation of its party-bearers, PAT Punjab President Basharat Jaspal said that “Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz’s planted individuals” left the revolutionary party on their own. He added that those in favour of violent rulers did not like the peaceful platform of PAT.

    1. civil disobedience is not violence! you can challenge a system yet remain peaceful! people who build the courage to challenge a system have nothing to lose so they don't need to be violent! it is the ones who have stakes in the system feel the need to be violent to protect their stake in the system that challenges them! MOST REVOLUTIONS START FROM A MOVEMENT OF CIVIL DISSOBEDIENCE! these people who resigned don't look like PAT people, they look like ex-convicts and sold molvis…. I can recognise PAT people from miles away! these look like PMLN workers.
