Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) will launch its ‘Inqalab March‘ with Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s (PTI) ‘Azadi March‘ on August 14.
“PAT and PTI marchers will set out for Islamabad simultaneously after three days (14 August: Pakistan’s independence day) “, Dr Qadri told thousands of his followers here in Model Town yesterday.
“Our march will begin on August 14,” Qadri told thousands of his supporters in a fiery speech in Lahore, saying he would “struggle” along with Khan to topple the government.
He said he will take to the streets on the same day that opposition leader Imran Khan will hold a rally in the capital aiming to force the government to step down and hold a fresh election.
“We would struggle together and would end the kingdom of cruelty,” he said..
“In the event of my murder my blood will be on Sharif brothers hands. Spare them not, my followers, as Quran says ‘blood for blood‘”, Qadri advised his emotionally charged protestors.
Earlier police in Lahore said they had charged Qadri with murder after a constable, who was wounded in Lahore on Friday in confrontations with his followers, died of his injuries late Saturday.
“A case of murder, inciting violence and treason have been registered against Tahir-ul-Qadri and his supporters,” senior police official Zulfiqar Hameed told the media.
