In response to Joint Parliamentary Session, Tahirul Qadri and Imran Khan join hands with each other

ISLAMABAD: (Dunya News, Web Desk) – Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) and Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) officially joined hands today (Tuesday) as PAT chief Dr. Tahirul Qadri also joined PTI Chairman Imran Khan on his container.

Speaking to the crowd on this occasion, Dr. Qadri said that the Articles 1 – 40 of the constitution gave rights to the people of Pakistan but the people of Pakistan were never given their rights during the last 41 years. He said that his struggle was for the rights of the people and those who had not given the rights to the people of Pakistan should be tried under Article 6.

Dr. Qadri again said that PAT had nothing to do with PAT workers. He said that attacking Pakistan Television (PTV) building was not even a part of the plan. Tahirul Qadri said that it was possible that attack on PTV was actually carried out by members of Pakistan Muslim League (N). He said that he did not identify any of the people who had attacked PTV building on Monday.

“We did not have any axes”, said Tahirul Qadri. He asked the government to show those people who got injured by axes.

Criticizing the government, Tahirul Qadri said that Pakhtunkhawa Milli Awami Party (PK-MAP) leader Mehmood Khan Achakzai was trying to the ‘champion of democracy’ only because he was an MNA while his brother was Governor in Balochistan. He said that Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif liked this system because 24 members of his family had important positions in the government.

PAT chief said that PAT and PTI believed in the form of democracy which stood for 180 million people of Pakistan while the members of assembly believed in the democracy which stood for elites.

Congratulating the protesters, Qadri said that because of the public pressure, FIR of Model Town incident has now been registered. He said that the sections about terrorism were also included in the FIR now.

Speaking on this occasion, Chairman PTI Imran Khan said that he and Dr. Tahirul Qadri would not leave the container unless they got PM Nawaz Sharif and Chief Minister Punjab Shahbaz Sharif’s resignations.
