Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) leader Tahirul Qadri said on Saturday a second round of his Inqilab rallies would start after Muharram.
“The negative propaganda against the PAT will fail and those favouring the status quo will gain nothing,” a press release quoted Qadri as telling delegations of overseas Pakistanis that called on him in Canada.
The PAT chief said overseas Pakistanis were delighted at the party’s revival.
“With the support of overseas Pakistanis, the people of Pakistan will make the PAT the largest political party in the country. The platform will enable citizens to play their role for the country’s development.”
Qadri said overseas Pakistanis had called for strict action against those responsible for the killing of 14 people during the June 17 violence in Model Town.
“We will keep raising our voice until they are punished,” he said. The PAT leader said people hated a justice system that was discriminatory.
Qadri said overseas Pakistanis wanted to play their role in the country’s development. “Fair application of law is the basis of a civilised society… discrimination in the enforcement of law amounts to might is right,” he said.
Qadri said he would start reorganising the PAT in United States America from November 7.
He said he would Dallas, New York and Houston and address conventions organised by the Pakistani community.
