Tahirul Qadri to travel overseas on Tuesday to 'reorganise party'
Qadri said he is leaving the country early Tuesday to reorganise his party overseas
Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) chief Dr Tahirul Qadri has announced an overseas visit to reorganise his party, Express News reported.
While briefing the media on Monday evening, Qadri said that he was leaving the country on an Emirates Airlines flight at 3.30am early Tuesday.
He said PAT’s strength was his workers who lived in foreign countries.
“PAT was dissolved in 2004, and we will reorganise it again,” he said.
He said PAT had entered the political arena to play the role of a real opposition, adding that a schedule of protests and sit-ins had already been announced.
“Reshuffling in the federal Cabinet is a result of our struggle of over 70 days in Islamabad,” he claimed.
The PAT chief censured the incumbent government, claiming that the United Kingdom was a "real democracy" as it did not subject the protesters of 'Kashmir Million March' in London to police brutality or blockades.
Qadri added that since there were reports of Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif leaving for London, he had changed his schedule.
"I will not land in London because of Shahbaz Sharif,” he said. “Most of my time will be spent in the US.”
