Model Town has been transformed into Gaza: Qadri
2014-08-09
[TRIBUNE.PK] LAHORE: Pakistain Awami Tehrik (PAT) chief Dr Tahirul Qadri
...Pak politician, and would-be dictator, founder and head of Tehreek-e-Minhajul Quran and Pakistain Awami Tehrik. 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...
on Friday labelled the PML-N government "state terrorists" for sealing off roads to his residence in Model Town, Lahore.

"Model Town has been transformed into Gazoo," said Qadri, referring to the barricade around the Minhajul Koran secretariat and deployment of heavy contingents of police in Model Town.

"The government has assumed the role of Israel in Gazoo," Qadri alleged, while claiming that thousands of his workers, who have gathered at his house ahead of the planned Youm-e-Shuhada rally, are now running low on food and water supplies due to the government seal off.

Urging the public to bring food and water for his workers, Qadri insisted that his supporters overcome all obstacles and continue gathering at his residence to transform the future of the country and fight for their rights.

Qadri said the police has been raiding the houses of PAT workers and arresting them, including women.

"Innocent PAT workers are being tossed in the slammer
Don't shoot, coppers! I'm comin' out!
," he said, adding that present rulers will be held accountable for their actions.

"The Punjab government and police have made the situation worse in Model Town," the PAT chief added.

Refuting police claims that Model Town had been sealed off to ensure his security, Qadri said that the government has not provided him with any security. "If anything, the government has been arresting members of my personal security staff," he added.
