Prisons are ‘waiting’ for Nawaz, says PAT chief

• PAT chief Dr Tahirul Qadri says Nawaz will meet logical conclusion soon, calls for accountability of ‘Shehbaz Sharif and accomplices’ 

LAHORE: Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) Chairman Dr Tahir-ul-Qadri has predicted imprisonment sentence for former prime minister Nawaz Sharif.

“The prisons are waiting for Nawaz Sharif,” he said while speaking to media at Lahore Airport upon his return from Canada. “He will reach his logical conclusion very soon.”

He further added, “Nawaz Sharif started making political speeches in reply to the questions of the accountability court.”

According to the PAT chief, the arrest of Sharif family members will not resolve the issues of the country adding that fighting for justice for Model Town victims is still on the list.

Commenting on Nawaz Sharif’s slogan of respecting the sanctity of votes, he asked why the former prime minister is raising this demand when he has been disqualified by the Supreme Court.

He also called for accountability of former Punjab chief minister Shehbaz Sharif.

“A corrupt system was made for looting the country. Shehbaz and his accomplices should be held accountable,” he said.

Qadri, expressing his view on the changes made on the nomination forms, said that it was based on the dishonesty of the parliamentary.

“This will be a real test of the institutions,” he said.
