Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) Chief Dr Tahirul Qadri has said that his party is not in favour of a lockdown, but a ‘knockdown’.
Talking to media at London’s Heathrow Airport on Thursday, he said that Imran Khan talked to him and apologised.
“To lockdown Islamabad is Imran and his party’s decision. We do not support every point of Imran; however, we are in favour to knock out the corrupt,” he said.
The leaders are creators of corruption; they don’t have a right to remain in power, he added.
Dr Qadri said that there is surely a connection between Nawaz government and neighbouring India.
“I am amazed that there’s always a tragedy whenever the Pakistan Muslim League – Nawaz (PML-N) government is under pressure,” he said.
He further said that the PAT workers were never involved in the attack on PTV. The people of PML-N themselves attacked it, he maintained.
“I am predicting that neither democracy nor election can be put on the right path in this country. The local body representatives have not been distributed powers so far,” Qadri said.
To a question about the sit-in, he said Imran should be asked on how long the sit-in will continue.
