LAHORE: The Punjab government has registered a First Information Report (FIR) against Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) chief Tahirul Qadri for inciting violence, Express News reported on Wednesday.
The case was filed at Faisal Town police station against the PAT chief for promoting anarchy in the country.
Earlier, without giving a date for his revolution march, Qadri said his party leaders and supporters were only concerned about observing Youm-e-Shuhada in honour of those killed in Model Town clashes.
Qadri was addressing a joint press conference with Chaudhry Shujaat and Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi at their residence in Lahore.
Assuring that August 10 gathering will be peaceful, Qadri said the Pakistan Muslim League – Nawaz (PML-N) leaders will be responsible if violent measures are undertaken against the mourners.
“There are certain people in the government who are advising PML-N leaders to use violence against peaceful protesters … those people are only pushing the ruling government closer to its end,” he said.
The PAT chief also said the day of revolution will come before the end of August.
“No power in the world can stop this revolution from coming,” he said, adding PAT will decide about its date after August 10.
Criticising the government for initiating money laundering investigation against him with ill intent, Qadri said the outcome of the inquiry proved that all the charges were made up.
Chaudhry Shujaat, while speaking to the media, said the revolutionary movement started by Qadri will benefit the public and change Pakistan’s destiny once it reaches its logical conclusion.
“Everyone talks about freedom and the rights of the people; revolution is necessary to ensure that freedom,” he said.
