Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) chief Dr Tahirul Qadri on Wednesday urged army chief General Raheel Sharif to ensure justice for Model Town victims.
"The army chief who has broken the backbone of militants, should ensure justice for the innocent people killed in Model Town clashes," the PAT chief said upon returning to Pakistan.
Fourteen people were killed and dozens others injured in clashes between Qadri's workers and police in Lahore's Model Town.
Qadri said all leaders responsible for the bloodshed in Model Town will meet their fate.
"What happened in Model Town in 2014 was state terrorism."

Blaming the government for being involved the Model Town firing, the PAT chief announced a 'grand protest' at Lahore's Mall Road on June 17.
"It will be a protest as well as a sit in and I invite all political parties to join PAT on June 17 to raise their voice against the inability of the government to serve justice," he added.
Accountability: PM must answer all Panama Papers queries, says Tahirul Qadri
"It has been two years since the incident, yet the JIT report has not been presented," added Qadri.
