LAHORE: Dr Tahirul Qadri, chief of the Pakistan Awami Tehreek on Saturday said his party would not join the Raiwind March, a protest rally which Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf intends to take out in the home town of ruling family.

“Our decision is final. We are not going to Raiwind since the march could lead to unrest,” Geo News quoted him as saying.

He expressed the fear that the participants could violate sanctity of life and property. Imran Khan on Friday invited all the opposition parties to join the march which the PTI is launching against the alleged corruption of the incumbent government.

Earlier, he had announced that the march would take place on September 24, but on Friday he said the date could be extended to allow other parties to take a decision on joining the rally.

Imran Khan made it clear that his protest was not aimed at storming the house of ruling family, warning the government against use of force.

TAHIRUL Qadri addressing a press conference on Saturday.—PPI
LAHORE: In a significant development, Dr Tahirul Qadri’s Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) has distanced itself from the Pakistan Tahreek-i-Insaf’s (PTI) Raiwind march.

Mr Qadri announced on Saturday that the PAT would not participate in the PTI’s Raiwind march as it might lead to siege of the private residence of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.

Mr Qadri has supported the stance of the Pakistan Peoples Party and Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid which had opposed staging a sit-in outside the Jati Umra residence of the premier.

“We are not in favour of marching on even our biggest political opponent’s residence as it is the ruling party that is known for attacking its opponents’ houses,” Mr Qadri said in reference to the killing of his 14 supporters at the hands of police allegedly at the behest of the PML-N government.

Talking to reporters at his Model Town residence, Mr Qadri said despite immense pressure from workers and leaders the PAT had decided not to be part of the Raiwind march. “The second phase of the Qisas Movement will be announced after an antiterrorism court’s verdict on our petition to register an FIR against the rulers. A very important development is about to take place in the next few days,” he said.

Imran Khan has already withdrawn his party’s earlier plan to stage a sit-in outside the Sharifs’ residence in Jati Umra on Sept 24 on the wish of ‘like-minded’ parties. The PTI chief has now announced that he will hold a rally in Raiwind and not lay siege to the premier’s residence. The party will announce a new date for the protest in a few days.

Interestingly, PM Sharif would have been abroad had the PTI pressed ahead for the Sept 24 protest plan. Now the PTI’s Raiwind march is being rescheduled to dates when the premier will be back home.

Mr Sharif is leaving for the US on Sept 16 to address the UN General Assembly session.

Mr Qadri’s announcement has sparked speculations that differences have emerged between Mr Khan and Mr Qadri over taking their Panama Papers-specific accountability and Model Town killing-related Qisas movements along to put pressure on the Nawaz government to act. Both parties had staged a joint sit-in in Islamabad over alleged rigging in 2013 elections.

Interestingly, the PTI has not yet invited the PAT to its Raiwid march.

“It is true that the PTI has not yet invited PAT to the Raiwind march but we have made our decision keeping in view the sentiments of workers about the rulers who are involved in the killing of 14 PAT workers. Our workers are charged and we do not want to put them to test,” PAT information secretary Noorullah told Dawn.

Answering a question about any differences between the ‘political cousins’ or this was a part of their strategy, the PAT leader said: “There is no such case.”

Difference between Qadri and Imran Khan.

 

[Imran Khan]

and these all bring any change ?

 

[Imad.Khan]

not surprising, the agenda of both parties is different. PAT is only seeking accountability for the model town massacre while PTI is seeking accountability for corruption.

You do realize, Raiwand is a huge area. They are not going anywhere close to Nawaz Sharif's Castle.

Why Raiwind? It's their house where a family living.
