LAHORE: Pakistan Awami Tehreek Chairman Dr Tahirul Qadri will arrive here on August 8, a core committee of PAT announced on Monday.It said the chairman has postponed all foreign engagements and is due here on August 8.
PAT secretary general Khurram Nawaz Gandapur said party workers and leaders will accord him a warm welcome on his arrival. He said Dr Qadri will chalk out a plan to get released the Baqar Najafi Commission Report to get justice for Model Town victims.
He said it is an irony that three years have passed but the report has not been made public. He alleged if the rulers think, they are not involved in the incident, what was the justification for delay in the release of the report?
He alleged the PAT held them responsible for the Model Town killings for following reasons. Families of the victims were refused registration of the FIR, an impartial JIT was not formed, the Baqar Najafi Report was not made public, accused police officials were gifted with lucrative positions, bailing out of accused policemen and their appointment on key positions, offering huge money to victim families, favouring accused policemen by the prosecution in the ATC. He said the PAT would go to the last extent to get Qisas.
