Model Town tragedy act of 'state terrorism': Tahirul Qadri

LAHORE: Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) leader Tahirul Qadri said on Wednesday that the time has come to approach international organisations, contending the Model Town tragedy is an act of state-sponsored terrorism.

PAT leader Tahirul Qadri was talking to media outside his residence in Lahore, where he said that he will consult a panel of lawyers in London over the Model Town tragedy. 

He also said that with the lawyers’ help he would submit a case in an international court.

The PAT leader said that the second round of 'Qisas' could start any time.

He said that if his party did not get justice then marching to Raiwind would not be ruled out.

The party said that it will raise the Model Town tragedy issue at the European Union Human Rights Commission.

Earlier a PAT spokesman said that PAT chief Qadri will leave for London on Wednesday night for this purpose.

On June 17, 2014, at least 11 PAT workers were killed and over 100 injured in clashes with police in Lahore’s Model Town area.
