India scheming to keep Sharifs in power: Qadri

LAHORE: India will protect the rule of the Sharif brothers because in the first place it was New Delhi that manoeuvred to get them into power, alleged Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) chief Allama Tahirul Qadri on Saturday while branding the ruling family a security risk for Pakistan.

“Whenever the rule of the Sharif family is in danger, we see an upsurge in terrorist attacks in the country. This should be investigated,” Qadri told his supporters in 105 cities through video link from his Model Town home.

Qadri’s party has been leading a Tehreek-e-Qisas-o-Ehtesab (Retribution and Accountability Movement) to seek justice for the killing of 14 party workers in a police action on the party’s headquarters in Model Town in 2014.

“When Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi rakes up Balochistan, why does our Prime Minister [Nawaz Sharif] not respond? When [RAW agent] Kulbushan Yadav had been arrested why did our prime minister not say a word about it?” asked Qadri. Submitting the answer himself, Qadri said: “This is because India got him into power.”

In a desperate attempt to counter Pakistan’s diplomacy on disputed territory of Kashmir, Modi in his August 15 Independence Day speech accused Pakistan of rights abuses in Balochistan, Azad Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan. Kulbushan, a serving officer of Indian Navy who was arrested in March, has confessed that RAW is stoking terrorism in Pakistan.

Qadri claimed that some foreign states had ganged up to manoeuvre and get the Sharif brothers to win the 2013 general elections. “India is still fighting to keep the Sharifs in power. If the Sharifs deny this, then I will reveal the names of the countries that helped them come into power,” he added.

Qadri said his information was credible and authentic – and if the intelligence agencies refuted his information, then he would correct himself.

The populist cleric also reprimanded Mehmood Khan Achakzai, whose Pashtoonkhwa Milli Awami Party is a key ally of Nawaz Sharif, for criticising the intelligence agencies of Pakistan in a speech in the National Assembly. “Nawaz Sharif never bothered to respond to criticism of the agencies.”

Brandishing the copy of a purported letter from the director general of NADRA in Balochistan, the PAT chief said the PML-N’s ally in the province were stopping the authority from cancelling fake Pakistani national identity cards obtained by foreign spies.

“If general elections are held in 2018, Pakistan will become a ‘Sharifs’ State’. The whole country will become Balochistan. They have bought the whole system. Even if the Quaid-i-Azam contests against the Sharifs in this system, he cannot win a union council election,” Qadri said.

Qadri announced that he would personally lead the second phase of his movement from August 28. “Today I didn’t participate in the protest because I wanted to send across a message that my workers are organised enough to avenge the 14 martyrs of Model Town in seven days, but we will never take the law into our own hands.”

He said that if army chief General Raheel Sharif intervened to get an FIR registered, the heirs of the Model Town victims would get justice. “We want Qisas (retribution) which means we want the Sharif brother hanged for the killing of our 14 workers,” he said.

It has been 17 months since the National Action Plan (NAP) against terrorism was announced, he said. The army has done what it was supposed to do, while the civilian government has failed to implement other points of NAP. “There are nurseries of terrorism in Punjab. Punjab is the father of terrorism in Waziristan. This is where ideological terrorism is protected and promoted,” Qadri claimed.

He said Nawaz Sharif had been disqualified from the 2013 elections for concealing his assets. “All his assets revealed in the Panama Papers did exist in 2013. He didn’t declare them in the assembly either; therefore he should be disqualified.”

The PAT chief said his party’s protest would continue in Gujranwala on Sunday, followed by others in Dera Ghazi Khan and Rawalpindi divisions. “In the next phase I will reveal my future strategy,” he added.

And hosting Qadri last year in the name of sufi convention was part of such a move and praised modi with no bounds.

[IceCold]

Hahahah.
The here still exist some idiots in Pakistan who comes to listen and follow this joker.

And here still exist idiots who support a moron like NS despite of his 30 years plus pathetic track record.

ARY team and PTI are still waiting for umpire ki ungli.
All their hopes from Panama leaks are licking the dust now.

Everytime NS is brought in or questioned like a typical noonie toon bring IK into the topic.

So who do you expect the establishment should support.
A democratically elected gov and it's PM or jokers like Qadri.

Democratically elected? Sure. Funny how this word democracy is used when you have no other argument left. Qadri maybe a joker, but nawaz is a traitor.

That's a lot of bull and hot air. Firstly, Yadav is not a serving Naval officer. He retired years ago. Secondly, he is now a businessman having business interests in Iran. Thirdly, his so called 'confessions' were scripted and given to him to read by the ISI. Fourthly, he was abducted by Pak intel agencies from Sistan Baluchistan in Iran and made to look as though he was a RAW officer caught in Balochistan. Lol!

The extent that people can go to for a few brownie points and clutch at straws to prove so called 'Indian meddling' in Balochistan! The whole wide world knows this except the people there who are fed their staple diet of misinformation and propaganda by the Establishment!

 

[SBD-3]

The real keera in Qadri Sahib's backyard is this which is basically being shared by his ideological merrymen as well

The writing on the wall for upcoming elections, a crushing defeat.

 

[Hell hound]

So Imran Khan is now a Trump as per you and than you say you were his supporter. You have the right to your opinion but at least have the decency to call it for what it is and not portray oneself as a disgruntle ex PTI supporter.

had i been a nooni i would have called him names like taliban kahn.i would have uploaded pic of every t shirt i had if i haven't thrown them out.to prove you how much i supported the guy to till the day he transformed from leader of youth to the leader of taliban.
still support his stance on corruption and accountability its .but will never vote for the kaptaan again.

I dont think you need to show me anything to prove. All i asked is to be honest in representing ones feeling. IK when he was talking about a dialogue, the government was too. So if you blame IK for encouraging talks than you should also blame the governments of both Zardari who made a whole team under mullah Burka of lal masjid to negotiate and also the government of Nawaz who continued this policy and changed only after the APS attack. After that attack all politicians were on board including Imran but before nobody was willing to start an operation. If you want to blame IK than at least blame everyone their do share and not single out IK.
Also tell me something why is the government of Nawaz hesitating from launching an operation in Punjab even though the military has said on numerous occasions that Punjab needs an operation? Or is this also the fault of IK?

 

[Arsalan]

A valid point raised by him completely agree with him here.

No comments about this though @Zibago @django @Moonlight @Arsalan

I assure you this is just another stupid attempt to seek attention by this Qadri guy! Nothing real in this at all. I say this being a strong critic of the government and its idiotic policies. However i do not find them more stupid than such stupid claims.
India or any other nation do not exercise that much direct control on who to get in power, not even US. The influence of US also begins once the person is in office!

Qadri was Modi’s state guest, admirer in 2012

A screen-grab of Tahir ul Qadri in India


LAHORE: A legendary American comedian and film star, Julius Henry Marx, had once described ‘politics’ in a lighter vein: “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly and applying the wrong remedies.”

Although the above-mentioned definition of ‘politics’ was given by a comedian, it does convey a fairly serious message to the Pakistani politicians.

Addressing a reasonable crowd at Lahore’s historic Charing Cross on June 17 last, Pakistan Awami Tehreek chief Tahirul Qadri had lashed out at Nawaz Sharif for not ‘saying enough’ over the arrest of a high-profile Indian spy Kulbhushan Yadav and had bashed him for his ‘cordial relationship’ with the Narendra Modi regime across the border.

Well, as research tells us, this firebrand religious cleric-cum-politician is no alien to the incumbent Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi either. Despite the killing of hundreds of Muslims in the Modi-governed Gujarat during 2002, Dr. Tahirul Qadri had accepted the status of a state guest in this state during his February-March 2012 visit to various Indian cities.

Narendra Modi was the Chief Minister of Gujarat state during Qadri’s visit, as he was a decade earlier when rioting had officially resulted in the deaths of 790 Muslims and 254 Hindus; though independent sources had estimated that up to 2,500 followers of Islam had perished in communal clashes.

Modi was then accused by Indian and international media of initiating and condoning the violence. The Times of India reported on Feb 27, 2012, “Pakistani Islamic scholar Tahir-ul-Qadri on his first visit to Gujarat thanked chief minister Narendra Modi for the security arrangements provided to him.

Qadri, known for his strong views against terrorism and extremism, however, refused to comment on 2002 communal riots. Qadri has been in Gujarat since Friday night to lay foundation stone of India headquarters of Minhaj-ul-Quran International in Karjan on Saturday evening.

Speaking to reporters ahead of the function in Karjan, he said he did not have knowledge of India's provincial states and its political leaders. "But it is my first visit to Gujarat and special Z-plus security arrangements have been made by the state. I thank the CM for this," he said. On repeated questions about the 2002 communal riots, Qadri insisted he did not come to Gujarat to speak about specific incidents, but termed them as unfortunate.

"My talk in letter and spirit is just for peace and harmony. Violence at any place, killing of mankind should be condemned, but I de-link it with the events (Godhra riots) you are referring to," he said. He also drew parallels between Quran and Bhagwad Gita.

Qadri struck a local chord immediately. "Tamam Gujarati mate dua karu chu. Khushal raho, hali mali ne raho. (I am praying for all Gujaratis. Live in prosperity and live in harmony)," he said.

Qadri said nobody can rectify whatever has happened in the past. "Nobody can regenerate or recreate past, but efforts should be made to prevent such events in future. The only way is to look for a better future, create an atmosphere of togetherness for which mutual tolerance is necessary," he said, stressing that his efforts are for inter-faith, inter-cultural harmony at global level.”

During his visit to Gujarat during February 2012, Qadri had spoken the essence of the Holy Quran and Gita for two hours on the local television network.

On January 17, 2013, a premier Indian newspaper “The Hindustan Times” had reported: “There's a lesser-known side to the Sufi cleric rocking Pakistan's establishment with his fiery speeches and mass marches: he has a knowledge of Hindu scriptures and made a controversial visit to Gujarat a year ago. Aware of his history of closeness to the army, politicians fret that the two may be working in tandem to displace the civilian administration. But Qadri, who is based in Canada, has a scholarly and secular side to him. His visit to Gujarat last February was marked by a two-hour televised address on the essence of the Gita and the Quran. And he was a state guest of the government of Narendra Modi, the BJP chief minister who still faces allegations of turning a blind eye to riots that killed Muslims in 2002.”

The newspaper had added: “Qadri's advice to Gujarati Muslims to shed their "sense of victimhood" riled many, as leaders of the prominent Jamiat-ul-Ulema Islam organization accused him of "praising the killer of Muslims.” Finally, he had to clarify that he "had stressed that no such unfortunate events like riots should repeat and those who perpetrated should face the law." BJP leader Chudasama, now a minister in the Modi cabinet, was at the event. He said Qadri advocated social and communal harmony and denounced Jihadi extremism. Chudasama had described him as "soft-spoken.”

Reporting from Hyderabad Deccan on February 29, 2012, another top Indian newspaper “The Hindu” had described how Tahirul Qadri’s Lincoln limousine had literally grabbed eyeballs.

“The Hindu” had stated: “A 30 foot-long Lincoln limousine attracted attention as it swished up the driveway at the Lake View guesthouse. Enquiries made, showed that the car with Ontario (Canada) registration plates, was made available for Pakistani writer Mohammed Tahir-ul Qadri. He is in the city on a week-long visit for meetings with the ‘Ulemas’ (Islamic Scholars). The 10-seater, white Lincoln 2005 has two 18 inch flat screen television sets, a DVD player, a satellite radio and a refrigerator. Other amenities in the luxury car include full-leather seats, hardwood floor and a cloth lining over the roof. The car has been in Hyderabad for a while now and is only taken out on special occasions. An attendant said that every time they needed to take it out, a day’s motor vehicle tax as applicable in Andhra Pradesh would have to be paid.”

According to Times of India, at Karjan where a sea of humanity had gathered to listen to noted Pakistani Islamic scholar Tahir-ul-Qadri, Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi sent a special message wishing the success of the programme. Modi's message, which was read out before the gathering, appreciated Qadri's works.

State's junior home minister Praful Patel, too, reached the venue to attend the programme, while the organizers also appreciated efforts made by Sonia Gandhi's political secretary Ahmed Patel.

Qadri informed the gathering that earlier when he had left Canada, he was issued permission for only a programme in Vadodara. "I thank the 'hukumat' of Hindustan (Government of India) for providing permissions for other places," he said. Later, he also showed an English version of Bhagwad Gita, which he referred to explain the message of peace.”

When contacted, a public relations person close to Tahirul Qadri said, requesting anonymity, Qadri was being quoted out of context.

Monitoring desk adds: In his Geo News programme “Naya Pakistan Talat Hussain Kay Saath”, Talat Hussain stated, “Today Tahirul Qadri is contending that the government is pro-Modi. The very Tahirul Qadri had praised Modi government in Gujarat in 2012. It may be recalled that the many countries including the US had imposed a travel ban on Modi after Muslims massacre in his state, but Qadri did not talk about it.”

Talat Hussain also played video clips featuring Tahirul Qadri praising Modi, eulogizing Indian democracy, degrading Pakistan’s democracy, and taking a neutral stance on Kashmir.

Qadri, while addressing a sit-in, showed a photograph of Indian PM Modi and the Chinese president sitting on ground in the former’s Gujarat home. He said, “the prime minister and president of the region’s two big countries are there. Modi has made the Chinese president sit on the ground.”

Hurling “shame” on Pakistani rulers, Qadri said, pointing to the picture, “This is the democracy” and culture. In another clip, Talat Hussain showed how Indian Muslims had demanded Modi be hanged for Muslims massacre.

In yet another clip of Qadri’s interview with an Indian channel in March this year, he took a neutral stance on Indo-Pak issues. He said Pakistan accuses India of involvement in terrorism in Balochistan, Khyber Pakhtoonkhwa and Karachi while politicians from both countries level accusations.

“But I will neither endorse Pakistan’s allegation, nor India’s. Pakistan-India enmity should come to an endm and we should spend our capital on peace, education and poverty eradication. Kashmir issue should be resolved through dialogue with an open heart. I have come with a message of peace and love. Both countries should improve situation [so that] people of the two countries could travel easily. They have relatives in both countries. The visa policy should be such that they are not made to wait for hours and the bar of three-month visa is not there.”

Let's see if Pakistanis are dumb enough to replace the traitor in London with the one in Canada.

Oadri maybe brainless but hes got a point. Does people not see the trend here? Why is NS slient on every Indian provocation? Does this not bother any Pakistani? Modi raised Balochistan issue, where was the PM of Pakistan and his thugs that spare no moment barking against Imran Khan? Does PM needs to be reminded that Balochistan is in Pakistan where he is the PM and its his duty to defend the territorial integrity of Pakistan. Because of this moron even countries like Afghanistan are taking Pakistan for granted. Afghans are involved in terrorism inside Pakistan, they regularly burn the Pakistani flag, the ANA thugs routinely spew venom against Pakistan yet he chose to extend the stay of these thankless creatures into Pakistan. KPK government advised against it yet still he ignored. Question is why? Remember it is KPK that is bearing the most of the burden of these namak harms.
And if the above it not enough, just look at the collation partners of this government, the likes of Achakzai who called KPK as Afghan land, such haramkhor are his partner who raises fingers on security institutions of this country, does this not bother any Pakistani? Well it does to me and i for one am glad that Qadari raised this issue, i as a Pakistani fully back Qadari on this and appeal from other Pakistani brothers and sisters, its time we get out of this baradari thing and not see this as PML vs PTI or PAT thing. Its Pakistan we should be loyal too and not any party and things are right in front of us to see.
NS is not acting like a PM of Pakistan, he is acting like a CEO of a company who has business stakes. This is hurting Pakistan and it will continue to hurt till the time the nation actually wakes up.

Blame your army. NS was propped up the Pakistani army to fight BB and PPP in the 1980s. Until your army allows people to express their will at the ballot box you will be saddled with the likes of NS.

I realize that in 1970 your army allowed free and fair elections. What followed was a disaster for Pakistan

NS is not an Indian agent. He is looking for his own interests whatever they might be

NS is not an Indian agent. He is looking for his own interests whatever they might be

And those interests are in India and that makes him a liability and dangerous for Pakistan.
