Tehreek-e-Minhajul Quran (TMQ) chief Dr Tahirul Qadri said on Saturday that the peaceful march attended by millions of people had set a great example in the entire world.
Addressing a press conference, he said, “Democracy would have been banished from the country had I directed the participants to capture the parliament.” He further said that the Punjab government had ordered 6,000 commandos to bear down on the long march participants, but that the government had decided not to use the option. He said that the participants could either capture the parliament or wait for the rulers to engage in talks with them, claiming that the police officers had refused to attack the protesters.
“The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) rallied support from all political parties to counter me,” Qadri said.
QADRI ASYLUM: Tehreek-e-Minhajul Quran (TMQ) chief Dr Tahirul Qadri has decided to challenge his summons by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) in a Canadian court.
The RCMP summoned Qadri on February 5 to explain why he had violated the oath he had taken while seeking asylum in Canada. Qadri’s counsel Mendel Green has refused to represent him in this case, reported a private TV channel. Green had assisted Qadri in his asylum application to Canada. The application was accepted in 2009.
The RCMP reportedly said that Qadri had violated his oath, which does not allow him to enter the country he had sought asylum from.

  1. Now Dr. Qadri you have had your moment of glory. Thank you for not capturing the nation. Thank you for not causing blood bath. What would we do without you—mind boggles!

  2. This Party system and democracy is damaging and dividing the pakistani society ,enabling dynasty rule,corruption,loot and imposition of inefficient and incapable people as minsters to run the country,we need presidential type of govt like iran or china where only one party rules and the mess in the name of democrazy used as tool by the west to buy the rules can be avoided.qadri did a right thing and imran khan should be given a chance we are tried of these old parties.

    • The problem with this imperial form of Democracy is that people do not have any say in the election of a suitable manor woman for the job of Prime Minister or the President.Over the years we have been repeatedly betrayed by the MNAs and MPAs.The country's Chief Executive must be directly elected by the people and NOT the Parliament.We remmember how the current President was elected and who was the last Prime Minister.FM Ayub Khan had introduced the Presidential form but ZAB reverted to this outdated form because it suited his future plans.

  3. Before you go back to Canada for your inquiry with their police, please release your last eight yrs tax return. This way we will know why you were taking money from their welfare dept. Would you, please? I am almost begging you for the sake of Pakistani people. For whom you said you came all the way from Canada.
