Express News screengrab of Pakistan Muslim League - Quaid Punjab president Chaudhry Pervez Elahi speaking at a press conference in Lahore.
Speaking at a press conference in Lahore, the provincial party president remarked that "justice will not be served till the resignation of PM Nawaz and Punjab CM Shahbaz."
On June 17, at least 10 people were killed and dozens were injured during a clash between the police and workers of Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT). The mayhem had occurred when the police tried to break the barriers outside the PAT leader Dr Tahirul Qadri’s residence and Adara Minhajul Quran’s Central Secretariat in Model Town Colony.
Elahi stated today that 30 PAT workers are still missing.
He also claimed that the "two Sharif brothers had told the police to teach the PAT workers a lesson," adding that the Pakistan Muslim League - Nawaz (PML-N) government has ruined the police and because of that the law and order situation is bad.
The PML-Q Punjab president demanded their resignations and said that they should face an inquiry which will expose the truth.
Elahi further stated that "the movement against the Model Town incident will not stop now."

@Aik_Paki: Whoever killed those innocent people should be given punishment more than death penalty, No one can make you beast if you r not beast from inside, Do you think you can kill and rob on superior orders, I cant bcos I believe in One who forbids me from this all. Police has over reacted, Police is major reason of crime in Pakistan. Now an independant commision should scrutinize who was behind this all. So demanding anything that will put this state fate at risk is intoleratable Like.. Mr. Qadri Sahib, Inqlaab final call (what that means getting power with power: isnt that a call for massive bloodshed) so we being Pakistani cant support any anorchy and fitna fassad.. Only demand biomatric system for 2019 elections, And get power through people and rule hearts not dead bodies..!!
@Naeem Khan Manhattan,Ks:
The Sharifs belong to the past now; they must take the poitical responsibility for the chaos in the country and the army takeover of KPK.

These rejected politicians are opportunists. People of Gujrat have rejected you people. Please wait till 2018.
@PakPatriot: Yeah Continue Noora leagure killing common man in Lahore. Don't tuch your business men and traders and let them loot with N-leaguers
@Blithe: and you were there to certify!
Nothing but to say what an Idiot he is.
The whole nation went to vote last year in a democratic process and voted the current government into power. We the majority people of Pakistan will not allow any anti state actors and thugs to hijack that democracy one year on.
Pmlq is a joke, pit can't manage Pk and I have to understand what tahir qadri actually wants. The guy sits in Canada and drops by randomly to completely destroy the rythym of the government.
can we try the elahi brothers for there crimes first.
@umar farooq: Gullu Butt is a known police informer. It's similar to the Pak army have an intelligence network.
Qatari must be tried for incitement and money laundering - no one in Canads should be able to dictate what happens on the streets of Lahore.
Even if they do resign, you can never become a CM again. So keep dreaming :D
@Blithe: Anoter Gullu but
June 5, 2014: (Rawalpindi) - A high level meeting is held on how to tackle Qadri.
June 13, 2014: (Chief Minister's Office) - Another high level meeting, attended by heads of NADRA, IB, FIA, Police, Special Branch, HEC. Some people raised concerns about the plans to high handedness.
June 15, 2014: (Islamabad) - IG Punjab and DCO Lahore were replaced by the federal government as being too soft.
June 18, 2014: (Lahore) - Police under new tougher command was gunning down the women.
whos this guy ? oh isnt he the guy who lost 7 punjab assembly seats and won only one because of his sisters's husband yeah this guy and sheikh rasheed are a force to be reckoned with.
Look who is talking the guys behind Lal Masjid & May 12 massacre... these ppl have no shame,,,,
Since when did we start taking Pervaiz Elahi seriously? He's a clown and everything he says is purely comical and none of his statements deserve the time of the Pakistani people.
@Bilal:
Yeah, no wonder that this 'Best CM ever" got booted out in 2008 and now almost instinct in 2014. Who'd forget his novel accomplishments like Parha Likha Punjab, Bank of Punjab scam, NICL scandal, Lahore Ring Road disaster etc. etc. and not to mention his skills he displayed and the benchmarks of good governance he set as Deputy Prime Minister of PPP.
Elahi and his partners should be behind bars after killing of 12 may in Karachi. How every1 forget their past
Stop playing politics and let judicial commission do its inquiry. I wish Bank of Punjab inquiry could be expedited as well so that political pundits like you could be put behind bar as well.
Ch Pervaiz Elahi was much better CM then Shahbaz shareef, infact best CM of the Punjab ever
HOUSE OF CARDS NOTHING ELSE.WAITING FOR TSUNAMI ORDER
I am not sure why would PMLN do such a mayhem considering all the troubles the country already is in.
While i am no fan of PMLN or any of their leaders and members, I believe this might be a deliberate attempt from the oppositions and deep state actors to cause unstability which leads fall of government and then mid term elections.
Remember it is just a conspiracy and not sharing a fact.
Shahbaz shareef dont play old tactics and try to put whole blame on Rana Sanaullah, Who orders to Rana Sanaullah for police brutality?. Thanks Ch for standing against cruel's.
The justice will only be served if army take over the country, kick out the Sharif brothers and let the Padri Tahir-ul-Qadri to rule this country.
Elahi ! Do you think you will yourself ever Resign from any political chair ? Anyways there is never ever going to a Resign chapter from our great politicians who are convicted in cases but never resign.
Ch Brothers aren't afraid of CM's inhumane tactics, Shareef's wont resign they should be dragged to roads
PMLN (Progessive pakistan) Vs Pervaiz elahi+sheikh Rasheed+Pervaiz Musharaf+tahirul Padri+Tehreek Taliban (Raw, Mussad)+Geo T.V + Devil Eblees+ foreign enemies We r with you PM no with these anti state jerks.. So keep on Good work.
Mr. Pervaiz , You don't deserve a comment. So no comments :)
Golden days for PML-Q...
PML-N gave them a chance to have a re birth. ..
In coming days I can see PLM Q , PAT and MQM joining hands to disturb the only restive province in Pakistan. ..
Time for accountability is here
Nooras good cop bad cop policy will no longer work. PML N is answerable and culpable
Wrong Ch. Parvez. Justice will be served only when these goons will be put behind bars for committing mass cold-blooded murder. Anything less is howash.
