LAHORE: The Punjab government has registered a First Information Report (FIR) against Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) chief Tahirul Qadri for inciting violence, Express News reported on Wednesday.
The case was filed at Faisal Town police station against the PAT chief for promoting anarchy in the country.
Earlier, without giving a date for his revolution march, Qadri said his party leaders and supporters were only concerned about observing Youm-e-Shuhada in honour of those killed in Model Town clashes.
Qadri was addressing a joint press conference with Chaudhry Shujaat and Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi at their residence in Lahore.
Assuring that August 10 gathering will be peaceful, Qadri said the Pakistan Muslim League – Nawaz (PML-N) leaders will be responsible if violent measures are undertaken against the mourners.
“There are certain people in the government who are advising PML-N leaders to use violence against peaceful protesters … those people are only pushing the ruling government closer to its end,” he said.
The PAT chief also said the day of revolution will come before the end of August.
“No power in the world can stop this revolution from coming,” he said, adding PAT will decide about its date after August 10.
Criticising the government for initiating money laundering investigation against him with ill intent, Qadri said the outcome of the inquiry proved that all the charges were made up.
Chaudhry Shujaat, while speaking to the media, said the revolutionary movement started by Qadri will benefit the public and change Pakistan’s destiny once it reaches its logical conclusion.
“Everyone talks about freedom and the rights of the people; revolution is necessary to ensure that freedom,” he said.
the government is unnecessarily panicking and as a result digging grave for itself. they are trying to give T-u-Q and his planned march/dharna unnecessary hype...
zabardast baukhalaahaT kaa shikaar hai...let the dharn people come and go...sky will not fall on them...why do they have to portray themselves as a nervous wrecks?
What a dumbass move. If this is calling for violence what was showbaz sharif doing when threatening to hang Zardari? These clowns would have attacked the SC if it was half as partisan as against the PPP.
Suffice to say no democratic bone in this so-called democratic government.

Yeh monkeys hakoomat karnay kay qaabil hi kahaan hain.
Including the retarded PPP.
I thought the govt had an 'overwhelming public support', 1.5 crore votes and all. Then why the panic? Registering an FIR against TUQ is an immature move, and has the ability to backfire badly. I feel this is PMLN's way of shoring up public support, by instigating an incident which results in violence.
No big deal. Government of 'Bhangwan Shri Gullu Shareef' the murderer would go in few months 'Insha-Allah' and next government (could be even army) would give justice and would hang 'Bhagwan Shareef' and his accomplices ... no Jeddah this time.
I am surprised to see how much 'haddi' can make people behave like Zombies. Men of Gullu Shareef the murderer killed old men and young pregnant women along with many others, in daylight and in front of TV cameras, still when 'haddi' talks, people forget murder and start showing their love for Gullu.
Most surprising is behaviour of Jiyalas. Men of Gullu Shareef the murderer pulled the tong of Jiyalas' God Zardari and tortured him badly, even defamed their goddess BB, and much more ... but now when Gullu Shareef started throwing bones (or reminding the agreement: 'bari bari' ), Zardari started behaving like paltu Kutta of Gullu and Jiyalas started licking Gully backside. Men of Gullu Shareef few years ago rightly used to say that 'Zardari is a dog' and should be treated like a dog ... show him bones and he would wiggle his tail. :)
These people do not even think that the old man abused and killed on 17th July could have been their father, pregnant girl killed could have been their sister, and other men and women killed could have been their family members, than? ... But then, Allah kee lathi bay awaz hoti hay, agar dair bhie ho jayea tou bhie parti hay aur sakht. I doubt if Bhagwan Shri Gullu Shareef would get away with 17th July murders.
Democracy is also a word of English , Supporters of the dogs of establishment can never understand that .
Yes, you are right ... Z A Bhutto, the dog of Ayub, Yahya and Sikandar Mirza ... and Gullu Nawaz the dog of Zia, could not understand the word democracy. :)
TUQ is a drama, no doubt in this, but watching tv now tuq ppl standing wth dandas and are ready to fight if anyone arrested TUQ. this is not looking good.
Did they also file the same FIR when Qaatil e Ala openly promised to drag the President of Pakistan on the streets of Larkana and Karachi and hang him in the public square?
According to reports, Punjab police has started arresting PTI workers from Sialkot and Bahawalpur, TuQ neighbourhood is sealed and he could be arrested any minute. Seriously? That duffer Prime Minister is calling Zardari every hour of the day, and these are prized tips he's receiving?
I must give PPP full credit for the way they handled TuQ's dharna and the Long March led by Sharif brothers themselves. These Potwaris are going mad with fear.
(could be even army) would give justice and would hang 'Bhagwan Shareef' and his accomplices ... no Jeddah this time.
It is a shame and bad luck for Pakistan that people like you towed this line since 1947. Quaid-e-Azam would not have dared to create Pakistan had he known people like you would destroy it.
It is IK's right to protest, there is absolutely no objection. But his intention to bring dogs and b!tches (supporters) to power from back door, than I am afraid people of Pakistan belonging to any party has full right to protect legally elected government.
