Qadri says attending PTI celebration 'out of question'

LAHORE: Pakistan Awami Tehreek Chief Tahirul Qadri on Tuesday said his party would not be a part of Imran’s ‘thanksgiving’ rally as Imran Khan did not take him into confidence over matters.

Speaking to Geo News, PAT chief Qadri said he would have considered joining if a protest were taking place, but now it was "out of the question". 

The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has postponed its planned lockdown of the federal capital on November 2 and is instead holding a day of celebration tomorrow.

"I do not know what to say except for Ina Allah Wa Inallah Rajioon," he commented.

The PAT chief said that from the beginning to the end only Imran Khan made decisions.

Qadri is not the only PTI ally who has expressed their reservations regarding Imran Khan’s course of action during the past few days.

Awami Muslim League (AML) chief Sheikh Rasheed said today that PTI chairman Imran Khan should have come to Lal Haveli on October 28.

In response to Sheikh Rasheed’s grievance, the PTI chief, while speaking to journalists in Bani Gala, said “the captain moves according to his strategy.”

Earlier today, Imran Khan told party workers to go home rest and reach Parade Ground tomorrow (Wednesday) at 2 PM where Youm-e-Tashakur (day of thanks) would be celebrated.
