PAT Chairman Dr Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri has said that the Panama JIT is the election cell of the ruling PML-N that is working to formulate the manifesto for the next election. He said that the nation knows the state of law, constitution and the courts. He said that progress on the Model Town tragedy has stalled and the killers of the PAT workers are not being summoned. He said that Qisas of Model Town tragedy is part of our faith and we would continue fighting for justice till the last breath of our lives.

Dr Qadri said that it has been about three years since we have been in the court to get a copy of Justice Najfi Commission report but no decision has been handed down as yet. He said that the anti-terrorism court summoned 124 accused but none of the police officers complied with the court orders and presented himself even once. He said that two rounds of Qisas movement still remain, adding that we will use the right to protest at an appropriate time. He said that he had already predicted the outcome of the Dawn news leak. He said that we have political contacts and will do everything possible on the single point agenda of sending the government home. He said that revolution does not fall in the lap, adding that the Holy Quran says that unless people come out for their own rights, change would not come.

Dr Tahir-ul-Qadri said that he has come to Pakistan to attend Itikaf. He said that he will review the legal developments on the Model Town case during his stay in Pakistan. He said that the platform of PAT is available to unite like-minded political parties.

PAT Chairman reached Allama Iqbal International Airport at 8 am through a Qatar Airways flight after a foreign tour. Chairman MQI Supreme Council Dr Hassan Mohi-ud-Qadri, Secretary General Khurram Nawaz Gandapur, Basharat Jaspal, Fayyaz Warraich, and a large number of workers were present at the airport to receive their leader. A good number of women as well as children were also part of the welcoming party. The children presented the bouquets of flowers to their leader as he came out of the airport. Hammad Mustafa, grandson of Dr Qadri, also accompanied him from Egypt. The youth and students of MYL and MSM chanted passionate slogans and danced to the drumbeat. The PAT Chairman was taken to his residence in the form of a rally. He was given a warm welcome by a large number of workers who had gathered at his residence in Model Town.

Responding to a question regarding the leaked picture of Hussain Nawaz, Dr Tahir-ul-Qadri said that a drama is being played in the name of accountability. He said that the picture was taken very carefully where the holder of the seat was made to sit in peculiar pose. The people were already deputed and as soon as the picture was released, they started giving their opinions on TV networks. He said that criticism of the JIT is part of the script, adding that the JIT is being criticized in an effort to make it look neutral. He said that if elections are held without reform, it will be repeat of the earlier elections and the results of 2018 will be no different from 2013.

Dr Qadri said that he attends Itikaf each year with thousands of his workers where they are imparted spiritual training. He said that training module is such as is applicable to the whole of Pakistan. He paid his tributes to the workers who reached airport to receive him despite hot weather. He said that no other party can boast of having such workers, adding that they always remain in his eyes and heart. The workers chanted ‘Go Nawaz Go’ slogans at the occasion.
