Dr Hassan said that two years have gone by since the fateful day of Model Town tragedy and justice has not been provided to the aggrieved families. He said that it appears as if there is no justice system in the country. He said that the perpetrators of Model Town tragedy cannot escape law for long, adding that the day is not far when they will be brought to justice.

Sheikh Rashid Ahmad said in his speech that a state is the one which provides protection and employment to its people. He said that isolation of Pakistan in the world is a glaring failure of Nawaz Sharif. He said that they are business people and are never done with filling their coffers. He said that their greed knows no bound despite the fact that they have been looting for last 37 years. He said that 200 million people are not vegetable that their budget can be made on Skype.

Khurram Nawaz Gandapur said the rulers’ businesses established as a result of corruption are spread over 23 countries.

He said that every department of Pakistan is corrupt due to politics of ‘Muk Muka’.
