LAHORE: Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) Chief Dr Tahirul Qadri has reportedly left for London in the wee hours on Thursday for a three to four-week visit.
Speaking to The Express Tribune, Qadri’s spokesperson confirmed the departure saying that it was a regular visit and the PAT chief might get his medical checkups done and meet with his followers there.
Tahirul Qadri has recently indicated a change in strategy to get justice for the Model Town victims, focusing on a legal and political battle instead of agitation.
“We will speed up legal proceedings for acquiring justice as it is not the right time to get involved in any agitation movement,” said Qadri while addressing a press conference at the PAT head office on January 28, 2018.
Tahirul Qadri demands action against ‘Rao Anwars of Lahore’
The PAT chief also requested Chief Justice of Pakistan Mian Saqib Nisar to provide justice to ‘the widows and orphans’ of the Model Town incident.
“If parliament fails, people look towards the judiciary for justice. Now victims of the Model Town tragedy are also looking towards the judiciary,” he said.
He said the Senate admitted that parliament failed in dispensing justice while the government had already failed.
Qadri said a petition had been filed for the constitution of a larger bench to provide justice to the families of the Model Town victims and arrest the big fish involved in the incident, including former prime minister Nawaz Sharif.
He came down hard on the ruling party, saying that under its patronage, dozens of Rao Anwar’s involved in murdering innocent people were roaming freely.
“In my opinion, the political elite of the country will not be able to see the month of March,” he said, adding that Sharifs’ days were numbered.
The PAT chief said there could be many differences among the political parties, “but all of them are on the same page” over the Model Town incident. He said a protest on the Mall Road could start within 48 hours but due to the Kasur incident and other issues a plan for the protest could not be devised.
On a future strategy, the PAT chief said decisions would be taken after consultation with all political parties.
