LAHORE: Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif doesn’t know any Qadri.
“I don’t know which Qadri you are talking about as there are tens of thousands of Qadris in the country,” the chief minister told a questioner while dispatching first consignment of relief goods from the Punjab government for internally displaced persons of North Waziristan.
He declined to talk further on the issue.
The CM briefed the media that Chief Minister’s Relief Fund has been set up with a sum of Rs500 million for the Pakhtoon brothers and sisters displaced in the war against terrorism.
The Punjab cabinet and assembly members, he said, would donate their one month’s salary to the fund.
On behalf of the provincial government, he said, relief items worth Rs100 million were being sent to the IDPs.
The first consignment of 50 trucks carrying relief articles including rice, flour, pulses and other commodities is being sent immediately, while more relief goods, if required, will also be provided.
He made an appeal to philanthropists and well-to-do segments of society to extend maximum help to their affected brethren and sisters and donate generously towards the relief fund.

CM is engaged in right efforts that are needed at this point in time to stand up in supporting the internally displaced people, without dispersing or diverting attention to such trivial issues of Qadri, which stands so tiny and meager in size and volume as compared to the nature of hardships and struggles of the people evacuated from Waziristan.

Not tens of thousands, but there are hundreds of thousands, rather millions of Qadris in the country, and they are all coming for you and your brother.

Qadri sahib is enjoying the privileges of democracy abroad, while tells that we do not deserve democracy. Instead of judiciary, openly wants the military to intervene. Due to these reasons, Sharif are better than him, because Sharif came with the votes of people. Although I did not vote for them, as I do not like them. People dying of live ammo on the streets is wrong and culprits should be brought to justice.

I don't know why Qadri is doing this drama against an elected Govt and he is against Constitution of Pakistan. Let the PML-N Govt work and also let the Govt complete its operation in the tribal areas. Why Qadir has selected this time to create turmoil when the country is in state of War in the tribal areas?
