ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) leader, Tahirul Qadri Monday announced that his party will hold sit-ins in all the four provinces of Pakistan from this evening.
Addressing the party workers of his sit-in continued to be staged in the capital city fifth day on, Tahirul Qadri said now the ‘Revolution March’ would no longer remain confined to Islamabad.
He said the Prime Minister and Interior Minister would be responsible if his supporters got provoked. “This attitude of the government is undemocratic,” he lamented.
He said his vehicle was stopped through the use of jammers and he had to reach the procession in someone else’s car.
Meanwhile, as Tahirul Qadri was busy making a speech in his typical emotional mood, one of the loud speakers placed on his right conked out due to a short circuit, causing a bang and leaving out a spark. The TV footage showed Tahirul Qadri almost springing up from his chair as PAT volunteers rushed to save their leader.
Resuming his speech Tahirul Qadri called for equal distribution of resources among all the provinces.
He regretted that although local bodies elections were conducted in Balochistan yet powers were not transferred to the grass roots level. “Are Baloch people not humans; don’t they need services like universities and hospitals,” he questioned.
