LAHORE: Terming the Lahore High Court (LHC) decision on making the Model Town report public as historic, which upheld law and justice, PAT chief Dr Tahirul Qadri has said both the Sharif brothers would be behind the bars very soon.
“Our demand is the resignation of Shahbaz Sharif from the office of the chief minister,” said Qadri, who was addressing a press conference on Tuesday, a few hours after the LHC ordered the release of the inquiry report on the June 2014 Model Town incident.
Qadri congratulated his supporters, saying they had been rewarded in their struggle for justice and added that the innocent people were meaningless for the heartless leaders. The inquiry report was buried since it highlighted the role of the real perpetrators, said the PAT chief, adding that after the 2014 sit-in, his party had decided to fight a legal battle to ensure provision of justice to the aggrieved.
Qadri said the PAT was fighting a battle on two fronts for the past two years and that the FIR of the Model Town tragedy was registered after the intervention of former army chief Gen Raheel Sharif. He said PAT contested the case both in people’s court in the form of sit-in and in the court.
