Punjab govt convinced to form new JIT for Model Town incident, SC told

Last month, the Supreme Court issued orders for the formation of a new joint investigation team for a fresh probe into the Model Town massacre.

On June 17, 2014, Punjab Police launched a crackdown to remove barriers erected outside the residence of the Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) chief Dr Tahirul Qadri.

The subsequent clash between Police and the PAT workers resulted in the death of 14 workers of the party.

stevenson | 5 years ago | Reply The only person who needs to be summoned for the Model Town tragedy is Tahirul Qadri. He should be extradited from Canada and charged with the murders since he urged his brainwashed followers to attack police which caused the deaths. If he urged his followers to attack police in Canada, they would be dealt an iron fist as would be the case in all Western countries. Unless people like Tahirul Qadri are jailed, others will use the same trick to blackmail the country and fly in to stir up trouble.

Amir | 5 years ago | Reply All evidence by now must have been washed away. So do not know what is the purpose of this JIT? Check their phone records, but am sure they must all be carrying more than one phones for discussions on such matters
