Addressing the rally, Syed Hadhayat Rasool Qadri said that the state was facing many threats and it was important that the nation focused its efforts on saving the state, not politics. He said that Dr Tahir-ul-Qadri’s slogan had the potential of marshalling disparate and divided people into a well-knot national whole.
