Shaykh al-Islām Tahir ul Qadri asks supporters to observe ‘martyrs’ day’ locally



LAHORE: Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) chief Dr Tahirul Qadri has asked his supporters to observe the ‘martyrs day’ and hold sit-ins in their own districts on Sunday in case they fail to reach Lahore because of restrictions put in place by the government.
The Punjab government’s decision to remove containers from some roads in the city and elsewhere has given hope to the PAT that a good number of its workers may make it to Model Town, Lahore, on Sunday.

Sources in PAT told Dawn that Dr Qadri was likely to give a call for “revolution march” to his supporters on Sunday and the main procession might set off from Model Town on Monday.
Dr Qadri met PML-Q leaders Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain and Pervez Elahi and Awami Muslim League chief Sheikh Rashid and discussed with them his future course of action.
