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.
