"I will not leave Pakistan without bringing a revolution,” said Qadri while talking to the media outside the Minhajul Quran secretariat in Lahore.
The PAT chief said that he has not even announced the date for his revolution march and the government has also ready started packing to leave the country.
Referring to reports that the government will put his name on the exit control list (ECL), Qadri said that his name does not need to be put on the ECL as he has returned to Pakistan to bring justice and will not leave the country till he succeeds in doing so.
Providing evidence, Qadri said Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and his family has applied for a US visa to flee the country, adding that he has even applied for visas for his household attendants. Qadri named the attendants and gave their visa application numbers as well.
Further, the PAT chief urged his supporters and the public not to allow Nawaz and his family to leave the country.
“We will end this dynastic rule,” said Qadri, adding that there is no democracy in the country.
He reiterated that the government will not stay in power beyond the end of August.
Further, he said, the government has fabricated a case against him on charges of inciting violence, waging war against the state and promoting terrorism.
On August 7, Data Darbar police registered FIR No. 304/14 on the complaint of Muhammad Khursheed, a resident of Mohni Road, Lahore. The complainant stated that during his August 3 speech, Dr Qadri incited the public to revolt against the government and tried to intimidate the government by warning it of dire consequences if his demands were not met.
Hours after the FIR was registered against Qadri, Punjab police set up pickets on all roads leading to the Minhajul Quran secretariat in Lahore. On Thursday, Qadri said that this crackdown is evidence that the government has lost the battle against him and is now resorting to adverse actions.
He further said that the police were raiding houses of PAT activists and were stopping those activists who were trying to reach the Minhajul Quran secretariat ahead of Youm-e-Shuhada. The PAT chief decried the arrests and asked government to refrain from resorting to such acts.
Chaudhry brothers in chorus
Meanwhile, Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi, the Pakistan Muslim League-Qauid (PML-Q) president, also hit out at the Sharif brothers saying that it seems as though the people who are in the biggest hurry to leave are Nawaz Sharif and Shahbaz Sharif.
Speaking to the press, Elahi and PML-Q leader Chaudhry Shujaat, questioned slammed the implementation of Article 245. "A civilian martial law has already been imposed," said Elahi.

Dirty politics of Canadian Mulla. Why Canadian citizens interfering in affairs of Pakistan?
I request the government to please deport this Moulvi to Canada who is ruining law and order of Pakistan.
@Nida Alvi: Thanks for sharing the great analytical comparison between the two fraudsters currently creating chaos in Pakistan... I have just posted your Link to Guardian to prove the false claims of a few Burger Kids. Thanks to you for sharing and thanks to ET for posting!
@Nida Alvi: Great realistic Analysis.. Only Patriotic Pakistani can admire your efforts..Keepup your Good work against anti state elements.
@Ranjha:
and bling follower award goes to u
@salman: Your Burger Logic aside, any claim has to be backed by circumstantial evidence. It is utter surprising that on one hand, Imran Khan claims that General Musharraf offered to make him PM but on the other hand, Imran Khan climbed 10 feet high boundary wall of his Villa and escaped to avoid arrest by Musharraf's Police under Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi. Nevertheless, he was still arrested from his hide out in Banigala! http://www.theguardian.com/world/2007/nov/15/pakistan.declanwalsh In case the Burger Kids suffer from memory lapse, I have posted the link from Guardian. hence it proves Imran Khan as wrong despite his numerous U-Turns.
@Nida Alvi: If IK's claim has been refuted by Musharraf, then Musharraf's claim has also been refuted by IK. Applying the same logic, we cannot say who is true, unless there is a third party who can collaborate. Unless you apply gullu logic, in which case IK is wrong no matter what the issue is.
@shiraz: All the points mentioned above are based on facts and cannot be denied by any Burger Kid of PTI, who trolls the cult. The claim of Prime Minister-ship is made by Imran but has never been confirmed by Musharraf. The extremist-Imran Khan has been claiming to be Prime Minister since 1994 when he got the badges printed with his name being Prime Minister. Rather in an interview with Mubashir Lucman (shown on Dunya TV), General Musharraf has acknowledged that "Imran Khan had demanded him 100 seats" in the 2002 elections. When the General didn't concede to this demand, Imran immediately turned a bitter enemy of the General.
@Nida Alvi: A perfect analysis done by you. I want to add only one thing that Punjab is the most established, clean, qualified and peaceful area in Pakistan and all these Qadris, Chaudaries and Imrans want to de-stabilize this province like the other 3 in Pakistan.
@Kashif Abbas: Please name the other country also
@sterry: I second your opinion. I would go one step further. He should be Put in jail with solitary confinement for rest of his life. Why he was on Canadian welfare system ? Was he disabled mentally or physically? Was he deceiving welfare system ? If he did, shame on him.
@Nida Alvi:
Way to go Nida--Top Darbaran award goes to you!
Punjabis should step down from government, for the sake of our country.
@Karima Shah: I am sure that Tahirul Qadri is far worse than any other pretender to the throne. A guy who can't win an election, has a cult following and runs away to Canada to live on welfare has no business in Pakistan's future. While he collects welfare, he has brainwashed followers paying for his first class air travel and stays in a comfortable compound while his followers brave the rain and elements. Shame on this man who should be arrested and jailed.
Ironically, this pir sahb also proclaims to be a Sheikh ul Islam, which is a prestigious title given to a scholar having vast command over Quran&Sunnah by the Muslim Ummah.This list contains personalities as distinguished as Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal,Al-Shafai, Ibne Tymayya etc...however they didn't proclaimed this title, rather were awarded this by the Ummah as a whole.
Release your last ten yrs tax returns as Canadian citizen filed by you. This is for Mr Qadri.
So since they are about to run from the country the choice for the Sharif family would be: 1) Run to the Jeddah palace they bought out of the Pakistani people's money. 2) Run to the Dubai palace they bought out of the Pakistani people's money. 3) Run to the London Million pound apartments they bought out of the Pakistani people's money. 4) Run to the New York million dollar penthouses they bought out of the Pakistani people's money.
OR:
Run to another country where they have bought a palace out of the Pakistani people's money which they have stole. One thing is consistent about the Sharif's, they have built and bought all their palaces out of money they stole from Pakistan.
petty talk by 'pat' leader:(
@Salman Would you check the LIBOR + rate of the GoP borrowing. There is something called getting lower cost loan to payoff higher cost loan. In this case, technically a large sum of money is not even coming to Pakistan. It is being used to pay the older higher interest loans. Some education should be done before being negative on everything. The current borrowing is around LIBOR + 5 rate versus previous LIBOR + 9 rate. The debt service savings help economy.
There are many wrongs with PMLN and NS but there many rights as well. We should get out of this concept of Some is Wrong all the time and some one is right all the time. PMLN has really good economic framework. The last 15 years were a disaster both from monetary stand point and resource economics standpoint. The mega projects are stimulus to stale economy. Give it a chance!
A good businessman always has an exit strategy!
@Azmat FDI is also increasing just check the 14 new projects funded by China. Don't be negative nancy all the time.
Actually most sane economists who have seen the last one year progress weather in world monetary agencies or banks, have called it the right thing. The long term solutions are bitter and we need to deal with it but they are necessary if you want to move the economy.
@Nida Alvi: Don't forget the record borrowing of the PMLN govt. I'm no economist, but I would have thought that increasing a countries debt is a bad thing? Unless maybe all your assets are invested outside Pakistan and fortunes of Pak economy has no impact on your own fortunes?
@Nida Alvi: What an ignorant fool you have proved yourself to be. the Reason for increase in remittences is not because of the highly commendable performance of the N League govt. Rather its the inflation that has made the pak expatriates to send more money to Pakistan.the yardstick for measuring teh economic progress would be teh amount of foreign direct investment which has decreased ever since the N league has come in to power despite the 15 long foreign toure of the Mughl e Azam and his entourage. The reason they are boasting of an increase in Foreign Investment is that they are counting the recently issued bonds as part of the FI which any sane economist with a modicum of understanding will tell you is wrong.
@Nida Alvi: 12. They are both coming after PMLN. Get running.
@ Shiraz . You are absolutely wrong here sir. Imran was given thenga by Mussaraf that's why he got alienated. He is simple power hungry person. Nida Alvi is absolutely perfect. We all know mental health of TUQ
@Nida Alvi , you are superb in analysis. Great Job.
Even if he runs, he cannot hide. The next government will drag him back to Pakistan to face trial for the Model town incident, not to mention the rigging of the 2013 elections. The Sharif brotharan have proved Musharaff right, Musharaff had stated in 2000 that the Sharifs thought they were Kings and were mentally incapable of making a sensible decision, and he has been proven right once again.
Nawaz Sharif, Shahbaz Sharif, Maryam Nawaz, Hamza Shahbaz, Ishaq Dar etc will all try to run abroad because MOST of their illegal assets are all OVERSEAS. They have stolen from the national kitty so many times, have bought palaces and properties all over the world, that they will obviously try to make a run for it. Qadri is right. But even if they do make it out of Pakistan, I am sure the Interpol can be engaged to grab them all by their necks and bring them back to Pakistan to face trial, and also confiscate their accounts and freeze their assets overseas as well if need be. So let them make their running plans, the arms of the law are wide, and the arms of the Pakistani people are even wider !
@Layman: Either you are ignorant of the economic development in Pakistan during PMLN rule or you have indulged in "willful blindness". Due to the effective macroeconomic policies of the PMLN Government, the country has witnessed highest-ever remittances of US$ 16 Billion, foreign reserves have shown highest growth in percentage terms & in real terms, Pak Rupee got strengthened for the first time and Inflation brought under control. Unfortunately, the jewish lobby cannot see the Country flourish and is trying to destabilize this Country through its agents in the form of Imran Qadri.
@Nida Alvi: you are not a Pakistani other wise you would know that imran was offered prime ministerial post by musharraf which he turned down.a power hungry person would never do this.however Mr.nawaz grabbed the post offered by Zia ul Haque. What do you say about this?
@Nida Alvi: now when would you shed some light on your beloved self-imposed-exiled-foriegn national Altaf Bhai?
I think some one should make a register of all these tall claims and compare them to actual events come 09/01. I am sure on morning of 09/01 PMLN will still have government and NS will still be PM and these guys will have some new date to give.
You are more than welcome to accompany him
The tone of Mr Qadri is no different from another inquilabi, i.e., Mr Imran Khan. There is a very interesting comparison between the two firebrand extremists: 1. Both Imran & Qadri have deep-rooted connections in the West; Imran has his family (2 grownup sons & 1 daughter) well-settled in UK while Qadri is a Canadian national since 2008. 2. Both of them have sworn their Loyalty to the Queen; Imran due to his family and Qadri due to his citizenship of choice. Imran also makes a point to appear in the charity shows of the Royal family. 3. Both of them have reportedly had contacts with various people notorious for their anti-islam views; Imran Khan has secret contacts with Israeli Foreign Minister-Silvan Shalom and Qadri has secret contacts with the Danish cartoonist (blasphemous) Jyllands-Posten, on the basis of which he obtained asylum in Canada. 4. Both of them were the foremost to welcome coup d’état on 12th October 1999 and proved their loyalty to Musharraf, though none of them was given any Ministerial slot. 5. Both of them were once loyal to Nawaz Sharif. Imran was granted a plot in posh locality (Zaman Park) and piece of land for hospital in Lahore. While Qadri was paid as imam of Ittefaq Mosque, the family mosque of MNS. 6. Both of them were greedy for power. When Musharraf didn’t accommodate them in his cabinet, they reneged in 2004/5. Both of them now condemn Musharraf in worst language. 7. Both of them have dubious past; Imran had allegedly illicit relationships with some women while Qadri was declared as mentally ill and lusty for popularity by the Lahore High Court. 8. Both of them are having psychological disorder/schizophrenia due to which they show extreme mood swings and wrath. 9. Both of them have cult-following and worshipped by their brainless followers, no matter what they do. 10. Both of them are unclear about democracy in Pakistan and are trying to thrust their own version on 180 million people of Pakistan. Both of them have been making self-contradictory statements and possess some hidden agenda to create chaos in Pakistan and throw it into the fire on ISIS model. 11. Both of them are absolutely One-Man Show and trying to become “Khalifa” on the pattern of Al-Baghdadi (who had foreign backing). Both are out there to scare the ET Moderator :)
So qadri has the visa application numbers and forms that they submitted. The only way to get that is by US embassy giving that, so you are admitting US is in cahoots with you? And you are their point man? Seems like you are the new US president!!!
Ofcourse the low-life's who rigged the elections will be preparing to run from the country, Their support is limited to a few thousand chamchas who will also disappear like they did in 1999, and the Sharifs know this which is why they are beginning to leave the country. Put both Sharif brothers, Maryam Nawaz, Hamza Shahbaz, Ishaq Dar, Khawaja Asif on ECL immediately so they cannot run.
I am not sure what concocted evidence Mr. Qadri has presented or weather Nawaz & family are actually planning what Mr. Qadri is claiming. Logic and common sense however do not seem to support this accusation. With apparently strong personal relationships and businesses in Saudi Arabia coupled with the fact that their last such sojourn was also KSA escaping to the US does not make much sense. Which now makes one wonder how truthful is Mr. Qadri in his utterings and how much of a "Sadiq" he is himself. Had he been a true leader and Pakistan’s well-wisher he would have revoked his foreign nationality by now. His unwillingness perhaps stems from the fact that Mr. Qadri wants to keep his escape plan open. I have always been a great admirer of his scholarly work and sermons but it his unspoken ambitions that makes me question his intensions and his "handlers".
This person is insane. Sooner he sent to mental institution better it will be for Pakistan people. SS is doing best job than any previous CM. Watch yesterday Kal Tak with JC.
Here's hoping these stinkers leave the country never to return.
Revolutions never announced dates when they come. They just come and change things at rapid speed. What if the revolution comes, then what? How will run the government? Does PAT is capable of running the government.? I guess it will be chaos.
OMG, what happened to Dr Qadri, what ground he talking like this, PMLN Government is not so weak to dissolve so quickly, What is happening in Pakistan, God bless us
This guy is fully intent on spreading anarchy. The more fuel he gets by way of media attention the worse it gets. He should be let out on the streets and have a week or two of all he can muster and I am sureit wll dissipate away rather than coming hard on him by way of police heavy handedness and give him any sympathy. PPP handled him perfectly.
its another false breaking news from PAT Leader
A habitual false dreamer!
We all know that at the end they will fly to any other country in the world as they have properties all around the Globe and in contrast what a common Pakistani has got in there rule is poverty, inflation, insecurity, unemployment..
Hmm..Nawaz does have a tendency to run to the Americans when in trouble :)
