Qadri fears clash if long march cut short

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Awami Tehrik & Tehrik Minhaj-ul-Quran chief, Dr Tahir-ul-Qadri, Monday refused to guarantee peace if his “long march” was interrupted, Geo News reported.

“An attempt to cut our ‘long march’ short will be tantamount to a face-off”, he said talking to media after holding talks with Interior Minister Rehman A Malik.

He denied reaching any “understanding” with the interior minister regarding “long march.”

“There had been no ‘negotiations’ on long march. He was just curious about my agenda, which I explained to him in detail”, said he.

He said he was marching for the supremacy of constitution and true democracy.

“Our aim is to restitute the rights of the people they were stripped of and not to jeopardize the elections”, said Qadri.
