Tahirul Qadri asks govt to bring 'change' by Jan 10
LAHORE: Allama Tahirul Qadri, head of Minhajul Quran International (MQI), said the government should improve the current setup by January 10 or else he will lead a protest march to Islamabad on January 14.
Qadri was addressing a gathering named Siyasat nahi, Riyasat bachao at Minar-e-Pakistan, Lahore.
Criticising those in power, Qadri said in order to save the country, the people of Pakistan must decide if they will let corrupt people represent them.
Referring to the recent investigative report on countrys lawmakers who dont pay taxes, Qadri said such people should not be allowed to become a part of the parliament.
How can people who themselves break laws be allowed to sit in the parliament, he said.
He also said that the parliament formulates laws that are in favour of the lawmakers rather than the people of Pakistan.
Speaking about his political plans, Qadri said his entire agenda is in accordance with the Constitution of Pakistan.
He further added that the much-anticipated election should take place but the concerned authorities should ensure it is conducted according to the Constitution.
The leader of MQI had earlier said that he wanted revolutionary changes in political and electoral system of the country.
Qadri had said that he successfully defended the true image of Islam in the West, claiming that now they are convinced the true image of Islam is not that the one adopted by terrorists
