Present rulers will be overthrown within weeks, says Qadri

PAT leader says he will announce a date for his 'revolution' soon.

LAHORE:
Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) leader Tahirul Qadri said on Thursday that the "present rulers will be overthrown on the day of the revolution."

The public administrative council would take responsibility of rule the very next day of the end of the present government, he said.

Addressing the media in Lahore, Qadri said, in reference to the Model Town clashes which left 14 PAT workers dead, "These people who kill workers and derail democracy will be kicked out within weeks, not months."

"There will be no one to save you when they are kicked out," Qadri said, referring to the police and government officials.

He said that the "revolution is a promise to the nation, and the date for it will be announced soon."

"I will hold an exclusive conference [regarding] the Model Town incident," Qadri added.


The PAT leader appealed to the police, individuals working for civil services and those working for law enforcement agencies (LEA) to "straighten up" and not work for corrupt leaders.

He said if the police and law enforcing personnel do not mend their ways, his revolution would ensure that they are presented before the court.

After the revolution, accountability of those presented before the court would be ensure within 15 days, he said, adding that the cases would be decided within seven days by the courts and the appeal in the cases would also be decided within seven days.

He also also appealed to the personnel working for law enforcment agencies, civil services and police to refuse to obey illegal orders of the unconstitutional rulers.

He said they should revolt and face these rulers instead of bowing down to them, adding that these officials are supposed to be loyal to the state and the constitution -- not to the rulers.

"There will be no room for those who kill innocent people, illegal order, unconstitutional order and unjust order. They will be arrested," the PAT leader said.
