Canada-based outspoken holy man, Tahirul-Qadri, has threatened to expand anti-government protests to four provinces unless the incumbent Pak prime minister leaves office.
"We will take our protests to the picturesque provincial capitals if government failed to accept our demands," Qadri said during a speech to supporters in Islamabad on Monday.
Tens of thousands of people have descended on Islamabad in recent days, answering the calls from Khan and Qadri to push for Sharif's departure.
Both Khan and Qadri have left an offer of talks from Pak prime minister dangling. Khan has not responded to the government's call for talks, seeking more details. However,
a poor excuse is better than no excuse at all...
Qadri has rejected the offer outright.
Khan and Qadri have called for Sharif to quit, accusing him of corruption and ballot rigging during last year's parliamentary elections. The pair wants new elections to be held in Pakistain.
They vowed to keep up anti-government demonstrations until their demands are met and Sharif leaves office.
