Pakistan Awami Tehreek Chairman Dr Tahirul Qadri announced Friday that his party would hold rallies in Faisalabad, followed by Lahore and Karachi, after Muharram and told his supporters from these three cities to go home and prepare for PAT rallies in their respective districts.
Reiterating that the “revolutionary battle” against the incumbent system will continue till it is toppled, Qadri said that the dates for the rallies would be announced later.
Lamenting that Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif did not attend Senate’s proceedings even once in the past one-and-a-half year, Qadri said, “Be it a political dictatorship or military dictatorship, no one listens to the poor.”
The PAT chief said that he would not forgive the “system operating against the poor” and vowed to contest “electoral as well as revolution war”.
“The message of revolution will reach every part of the country. I will personally visit people in different cities,” he said.
The PAT chief opined that the people of Federally Administered Tribal Areas were being misled and deprived of their rights.
“The sit-in participants will not be defeated at any cost,” he said, adding that he had now made people aware of Article 62 and 63 of the Constitution.
