Revenge for Model Town martyrs tops PAT's agenda of talks: Qadri

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Awami Tehreek chief Dr Tahirul Qadri has said that his first demand was to seek revenge for the ‘martyrs’ of Model Town tragedy.

Addressing participants of the sit-in on Sunday, he said told that he had informed Khawaja Saaed Rafique during talks that justice for the Model Town tragedy was his key demand.

He said that the issue was discussed for hours, adding that he told the minister his 10-point agenda will only be discussed only after Model Town incident.

Qadri said that Rafique met him in a bid to end a deadlock in talks and he was even ready to listen to Nawaz Sharif and Shahbaz Sharif if they were willing to meet him. “Door to talks is open and will remain open,” he announced.

He warned that the Parliament will become the martyrs’ graveyard if he was killed.
