'Model Town incident a conspiracy against govt'
[DAWN] Chief Coordinator of Pakistain Mohammedan League-Nawaz (PML-N), Siddiq al-Farooq on Sunday said that last week's incident in Lahore's Model Town, in which 12 'innocent' persons were killed, was a conspiracy against the elected government.

At least 12 people including Pakistain Awmi Tehrik (PAT) supporters were killed when they clashed with local police on Tuesday.

"PAT chief Dr Tahirul Qadri
...Pak politician, founder and head of Tehreek-e-Minhajul Quran. He usually resides in Canada, but returns to Pakistain periodically to foam at the mouth and lead demonstrations. Depending on which way the wind's blowing, Qadri claims to be the author of Pak's blasphemy law. Other times he says it wasn't him...
, who was a Canadian national, wanted to run the affairs of the country and both the Tehrik-e-Minhajul Koran (TMQ) and Pakistain Mohammedan League (PML-Q) have been exposed," said Farooq.

He claimed that the plot behind the Model Town incident was prepared by Tahirul Qadri and PML-Q leader Pervaiz Ellahi in their London meeting last month.

Siddiq al-Farooq, who was addressing a presser here at PML-N Secretariat, said the conspiracy was hatched at a time when the Pakistain Army under the command of Gen Raheel Sharif, was engaged in the operation against snuffies in North Wazoo.

"Some armed people of TMQ and police personnel faithful to Pervaiz Ellahi were behind the firing," he alleged.

He claimed that due to fear of being exposed, both TMQ and PML-Q had boycotted the judicial commission formed to probe into the incident.

The PML-N leader hoped that the judicial commission would soon complete its investigation and lay bare the facts about the incident before the nation.
