Qadri asks people to receive PM with ‘Go Nawaz Go’ slogan outside UN Secretariat

Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) chief Tahirul Qadri Tuesday called upon people worldwide to camp outside the UN Secretariat and receive Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif with ‘Go Nawaz Go’ slogan to show their disapproval against him.

Addressing his supporters at the Inquilab March sit-in, continuing for over 40 days at capital’s D-Chowk, Qadri slammed Prime Minister Sharif, saying that the premier was proceeding to attend the United Nations General Assembly session after trampling upon the rights of his own people back home.

The PAT chief said that the federal government had announced lifting ban on government jobs, castigating that vocations would only be given to close relatives of MNAs and parliamentarians.

Qadri also lambasted the government for announcing Rs 25,000 for each flood-hit family, terming it too meager.

CHALLENGING CREDIBILITY:

Moreover, according to reports, PAT has decided to challenge the credibility of the present parliament and the assemblies in the Supreme Court (SC).

According to a private television channel, consultation is underway between the PAT leaders and a panel of legal experts in this regard.

PAT leaders are of the view that the revelations pertaining to irregularities and rigging in elections made in the review report of Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has raised a question mark on the current Parliament. They said that after these serious revelations, the existence of the present Parliament has also become doubtful.

It was further reported that the legal experts associated with PAT are also gathering documentary proofs pertaining to the rigging of General Elections 2013.
