At a press conference in Lahore, Qadri held up copies of several national newspapers and read from reports that stated he had called on workers to harm those who would abandon his movement.
He clarified that his statements from yesterday's speech in Model Town pertained to him and Imran Khan, not his party supporters.

Newspapers on Monday widely reported that Qadri had directed his followers not to spare anyone betraying and abandoning the so-called Inqilab march.
In a defiant tone, he had asked his followers a day earlier not to take what he called the police’s bullying lying down. “Teach a lesson to the beast. Don’t let him indulge in cruelty against anyone," he said.

The problem with media especially with large circulation ones, present their views rather then facts. this is not only in Pakistan but media all over. They behave more like a political force and taint the news then report the reality on the ground. Its in their job description to manuplate and put their spin as they see fit. i believe you Qadri

Media is so pro democracy that it is now blind to truth and justice. Unfortunately truth and justice are the two things achieved as a result of democracy. If the price of democracy is these two basic elements then a world without democracy is good enough.

Why can not the National Government impose a total media ban on reporting anything said or done by Tahirul Qadri, and other trouble makers, immediately? There should be zero news on their campaign of destabilising Pakistan. That way the police and army can keep the peace. Their platform is the media. This should br denied to them. Having Nothing about them & Company, on TV, Radio, Internet, Printmedia would take the wind out of their sails.

PTI Chief, cannot deny his words that the whole world listen live for a couple of hours yesterday. He needs to be handed over to a team of psychiatrists to help him get out of his " PAGAL PUNN". He should be sent abroad, perhaps Canada, for possible treatment. He is a total CAOS. He appears to have reached a state of mind where people forget what they are doing. Allah may help his followers particularly innocent girls and women. I will reproduce an other writer's remarks "Liar!!!! In 10th August speech , listen last 5 mins he clearly states that kill who return without revolution. Such an open lie? Qadri is digging his hole even deeper every day". camera Footage won't let him do this.

Sadly these are not our core issues everyone including all the media is high lighting this stupid debate.
Pakistan, Our problem is energy, law an order terrorism, and building infra structure. Our core problem is Not rigging which everyone did every time in every election including the long marchers.
Prevail some sense no one is angel here , start debating about the issues pleaseeeeeee.

Why Qadri has not yet been arrested for first hijacking the Emirates flight and secondly for rebellion against the constitution as well as for making hate speeches to incite violence

Quality and level of critique against Qadri in most of comments is quite shocking. No logical reasoning just malevolent propaganda against Qadri. Being orator he uttered something uncalled-for but mostly politicians do that. As per his credibility, TUQ formed party in 1989 and resigned from NA seat in 2005 , so he remained here training his followers poltically and espousing his philosophy. He is truly exposing sham democracy, fraudulent ECP. He objected to fraud /muk muka ECP in 2013 , gave dharna for its reconstitution and went to SCP but nobody listened then. Why Imran is crying now? Being dual national does not mean that you can't desire anything positive in your country of origin. Moreover, TUQ may quit his Canadian nationality as hinted once.
