According to sources, Pakistan Muslim League - Quaid (PML-Q), Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM), Majlis-i-Wahdatul Muslimeen (MWM) and Sunni Ittehad Council (SIC) will be attending the meeting. A ten-point agenda will be discussed during the meeting.
On June 23, Dr Qadri landed in Pakistan from Canada. Clashes in the twin cities ensued right before the PAT chief’s arrival.
The clashes - in which 120 people including 45 policemen were injured - had broken out between police and PAT workers early on June 23 after the supporters asked law enforcers to remove barriers blocking Airport Road near Koral Chowk.

@Ch. Allah Daad...the plane was hijacked by MNS and Ch.Nisar..MNS had a previous record of hijacking...
The good guys and the bad guys are clear and will be made clearer as society is now divided between the reformists and their supporters and those who oppose and support anti-reformists. Reformists advocate electoral reforms and revolution to change the corrupt system. The anti-reformists do not want electoral reforms nor any revolution but oppose any change for good in their corrupt system. Now you already know who are reformists and who are anti-reformists in this war.
@Aysha M:
You got that right! And then people complain that it is the Punjabi Establishment which is hindrance in the way of MQM becoming a mainstream political party with following across Pakistan. Being well and truly entrenched in the system and being a pivotal part of the status quo is the hallmark of MQM's politics you add the inclination of also rebelling against the same system from time to time by siding with characters like this Mullah, one can safely assume that its time that MQM got rid of Altaf Hussain and brought some sanity within its ranks.
@ishrat salim:
What class does Nawaz Sharif travel in and that too using public money? Has anyone ever seenw him and family in Economy class?
@ Arzoo remittances are sent by Pakistani workers for their families and not for the state of Pakistan. These monies are not even taxed by the govt so to say that we live off this paltry $15 bn is nonsense the workers families do. If multitudes of Pakistanis are yearning for change they certainly arent yearning for the likes of Padri and co. to come and save them from Canada in a business class ticket. When Jinnah lived in England this was all England lady there werent two countries, plus stop trying to twist words into thinking you are right for what you have written is utter nonsense get a better sense of the world and then write something about them.
This was known from long before wasn't it. If govt doesn't bring reforms in the country then yes country is likely to encounter all such issues.
Corrupt police Power shortages Lack of clean water and sanitation Malnutrition and Famine outdated diseases like polio still a threat.
These r important and sensitive issues that need to be addressed. Even failed govts like in Somalia, Zaire, Trinand are able to address them seriously.
@Adnan Siddiqi:
Then why doesn't PEMRA take any action now that PEMRA is in Sharif brother's pocket? If they don't take any action then he has to be considered right on this.
Why government has not arrested him for holding passengers hostage for five hours. It's such a clear criminal case that he would not be able to come out of it. Come on passengers, it's time to teach him a lesson.
Disappointed by MQM
well said Arzoo
@Arzoo: don't add yourself to the qadri category if you are a worker in abroad sending rightfully earned money to pak.there is diff between hardworking pakistani labor/doctors/engineers and these so called messiah of nation like qadri/altaf they loot our money and then they take asylum in developed countries they survive on so called chanda generated by their orgs not to mention ad they get from foreign agencies and our ant-democracy establishment
What is not understandable is ? a person travelling in business class or calling people from inside his custom-built container, while his subjects are standing in scorching sun & cold night....on what basis he calls himself a " Leader " ? his call for revolution will only bring bloodshed...nothing short of that.....he will pack & run away...most of the leaders who joins him will do that., including the present ones....none have love for the country, but power & seat....
@Umer:
Who is Dr. Shahid Mehmood? If you are referring to Dr. Shahid Masood, then be aware that this guy is a serial rumor monger and conspiracy theorist. He is the same guy who gave a deadline for the demise of PPP led government every month and the rest is history. His caliber can be judged from the fact that he commanded prime time slots on some of the most premium channels in Pakistan and is now contest with giving his baloney tabloid observations on some unknown channel while being moderated by some girl.
Don't worry people of Pakistan. The true face of democracy is here. We are staunch supporters of Qadri because he has never revoked against any part of constitution and obeys willfully the current rule of law. He is a true national who visits his country, once every year, just for sake of people. He has been living in cold contours of Canada and didn't gave up his Canadian nationality for elections because he knows that how important are our ties with Canada. He is working day and night for the people of Pakistan and will continue his struggle till death. Stand by his, as revolution has begun !!! Yay !!!
Long live Canada !!! and ofcourse Pakistan too !!!
@Shahzad...we want people democracy by empowering at the grass root level....not civilian dictatorship or biased judiciary
How can my nation trust a person for change who has sworn his unconditional allegiance to the Queen?
How can I entrust the fate of my nation in the hands of a person who has taken oath to the Queen...?
@Adnan Siddiqi:
According to Dr Shahid Mehmood, Nawaz Sharif appointed Ch Sarwar (two times British MP and Queen's oath taker) Governor of Punjab on advice of David Cameron. Therefore the only party which is actually proven to be following Queen’s government’s instructions is n league.
@Shahzad: You need to learn a little history. Jinnah lived in England for an extended period of time. Gandhi lived in South Africa even longer. Khomeini lived in France. Lenin lived in Germany, France, England, and Switzerland. And, Pakistanis overseas, whether Canadian nationals or not, are funding 15 billion dollars a year to Pakistan which is what you are living on. Get your facts straight before you shoot off your mouth. Maybe there is a reason why you support the status quo. Multitudes of Pakistanis are yearning for a change from misery, murder, and mayhem; no matter who brings it.
@Qadri the Great:
"We will make Pakistan epic centre of peace and prosperity."
The word is "epicentre". You are welcome to conquer the world, but please start by conquering your english, as you are using an english language news stream to publish your dreams.
I have seen changes in ET and TV channel's strategy after ARY was brought down. . . . Now i know that ET you are not going to post this :)
@Qadri the Great:
you are not so funny....
TQ & IK please forgive poeple of Pakistan , we do not need any change which is not in poeple favor.
Please give a big hand to the newest member of the troll club.....@Qadri the Great and big lollzz on MQM. The only thing alike between PAT and MQM is their respective leaders and their allegiance to the Queen.
@Shahzad: If this is how democracy comes to Power and runs itself, then my brother the Martial Laws have all been better than this.. If PMLN can't accept that they cheated and now are even afraid to open 4 constituencies for verification then what is the point of them in power. Its like no matter how we came into power, once we are here now don't mock us. No brother this is not how it works. Everyone should be brave enough to fight in a free and fair election. btw I am not a supporter of TUQ. If democracy is what we want then we should also demand for a transparent and objective system to ensure a real democracy.
A person who is travelling on Canadian Passport even don't respect the national documents came to bring inqulab in the country whom he don't respect. Shame followers who blindly come to street and damaged public property...... this mulla must be dealt with iron hands... and media must be condemned as media dragged to him instead of supporting army in the war......
How does his mind work to know " like minded". Can someone answer?
I urge Express Tribune not to side with PML-N and Shareef brothers. Dont forget innoncent people of PAT were shot on the orders of this government. Lets NOT FORGET THAT.
He is a disruptionist All he is interested is cheap publicity and drama Recall the drama he staged in Islamabad two years ago and then how quickly he left for Canada Pakistan needs stability and unity at this time please
June 26 will be start of revolution! Pakistan will begin once again the strongest nation. No one will refuse our passport. We will cleanse the filth and dirt. No more violence. Our peaceful protestors will be met by terrorists, but we will not back away. We'll make PIA best airline. We will make schools. We will give free money. We will make Pakistan epic centre of peace and prosperity. The world will watch and learn from us. One day, no one will be able to look in eye of Pakistan. Qadri will conquer Pakistan, it's envitable. Qadri can be the only president of Pakistan. Qadri the great. Qadri the lion. JIYE QADRI, JIYE QADRI.
It's time for people of pakistan to decide whether they want this fake inqalab brought to you buy canadian national? or they really want democracy to prevail? if you end this govt.it will create choas in pakistan.If IK also join this feku qadri club..History will never forgive IK.
