Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) Chief Dr. Tahir-ul-Qadri said earlier today that the Punjab government sought to turn Yaum-e-Shuhada into Revolution Day through their barbaric measures and brutal crackdown against the party workers across the province.
Addressing a press conference outside his residence in today’s wee hours, Dr. Qadri said he had called an emergency meeting of allied parties today at Minhaj-ul-Quran International Secretariat, in view of the current large-scale police crackdown on the PAT activists.
He said, “The workers of PAT, Q-League, Majlis Wahdat-ul-Muslimeen (MWM) Pakistan, Sunni Ittehad Council, have remained resolute and dedicated thus far and will remain so in the coming days, too.”
He warned the intense violence by Punjab police against the activists might redirect the Yaum-e-Shuhada to become the “Revolution Day”; hence, police personnel should take care and caution before taking up any measure in this regard.
