Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) chief Tahirul Qadri on Friday said that he is confident of achieving goals set during his 70-day protest in Islamabad.
Addressing his party’s sit-in rally at Haripur, Qadri was firm in his belief that the 70-day sit-in Islamabad had awakened the nation.
“Our demands will very soon be met. If the government does not fulfil our demands, it doesn’t matter. The time is not far when our demands will be fulfilled,” said the firebrand cleric.
Qadri lauded the efforts of his supporters in the journey towards ‘revolution’ and thanked the crowds in Haripur for attending his address without a formal announcement.
“The government will eventually have to go and this system will also have to go. Pakistan will then get the vision which Quaid-e-Azam promised us.”
Qadri went on to question the ‘so-called democracy’ being practiced in the country.
“What kind of a democracy is this where the chief minister and prime minister are accused of killing people and continue to keep their jobs. I curse such a democracy,” said Qadri.
The PAT chief is scheduled to hold sit-ins in Lahore and other cities of the country over the next few weeks.
