Tahirul Qadri alleges govt planning to send his plane back

LONDON: Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) chief and leader of Minhaj-ul-Quran Dr Tahirul Qadri alleged on Saturday that the government is conspiring to send his plane back, DawnNews reported.

On his way to Pakistan from Canada, Dr Qadri held a press conference at Heathrow Airport in London.

He said that he is not afraid of giving up his life and will come to Pakistan and fight for the cause of the masses.

“No matter how hard the government tries to stop me, I will come to Pakistan,” he said.

Calling Punjab chief minister Mian Shahbaz Sharif ‘Qatil-e-Aala’, he said that Rana Sanaullah was only doing what he was told to do. The real culprits are at the top, he commented.

Qadri said that forty articles of the Constitution of Pakistan are currently suspended, adding, “There is no democracy in the country but rather a monarchy.”

In an exclusive conversation with DawnNews, he said that efforts were underway to sow misunderstanding between him and the Pakistan army.

“We will not stop if the government stops us. However, if the army comes, we will cooperate,” Dr Qadri said.
