Tahirul Qadri to stage 'two-day' countrywide sit-ins

Addressing supporters in Abbottabad, Qadri says next sit-in will take place in Haripur on Friday 24

ABBOTTABAD:
PAT chief Tahirul Qadri took to the stage to address supporters in Abbottabad on Thursday, following his decision to end the sit-in in the nation's capital, Express News reported.

After a 67-day protest, Qadri called off the D-chowk sit-in in Islamabad, allowing thousands of his supporters to return home.

As he referred to his decision of bringing an end to the Islamabad sit-in, he made it clear to the crowd that the decision was made after a comprehensive consultation with the party leadership.

"I urge all the youth to continue using social media and not succumb to any criticism. We will continue our journey to revolution. I want to clarify that we did not cancel the Islamabad sit-in, but in fact we have turned it into a nationwide sit-in," an enthusiastic Qadri said.


Further, Qadri announced that two-day sit-in would continue to take place across the country with the next one to take place in Haripur on Friday 24.

In Abbottobad, the PAT chief congratulated those present for participating in the 'historic' revolution which has been sweeping the nation.

Qadri, standing firm in his stance against the current government, said the nation has awakened and the journey toward revolution is to be continued.

The cleric went on to outline his agenda for the sit-ins to be carried out across the nation over the next couple of weeks.
