F.P. Report

LAHORE:  Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz leader Hamza Shehbaz Thursday called Pakistan Awami Tehreek chief Dr Tahirul Qadri an ‘enemy of democracy’.

Speaking to journalists here, he said that “people will hold the enemy of democracy, Tahirul Qadri, accountable,” adding that people remember the language used by Qadri in his 2014 Islamabad sit-in.

The PML-N leader, who is the son of Punjab Chief Minister Shehbaz Sharif, said that Qadri is a Canadian citizen and owns properties there, adding that the Punjab government has made public the Model Town judicial inquiry report. “We stand for democracy in the country and won’t let anyone do politics on dead bodies,” he said. “People who were martyred were our people. I have deep regret for their martyrdom.”

Pakistan Awami League chief Dr Tahir ul Qadri, while addressing a press conference, on Wednesday termed provincial government claims that the report does not blame any government official as false propaganda.
