Qadri vows to take Sharifs to task for Model Town incident

In an effort to “request” the Lahore High Court (LHC) to make the Najfi commission report on the 2014 Model Town tragedy public, the families of the victims — on Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) chairman Tahirul Qadri’s call — staged a sit-in on Lahore’s Mall Road on Wednesday. Along with Qadri, the protesters were joined by Awami Muslim League chief Sheikh Rashid and Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf’s Fawad Chaudhry and Firdous Ashiq Awan. While addressing the protesters, Qadri said that the “murderers” of the Model Town victims “have only lost their position in the government” after the Panamagate case ver- dict, “but the time is not far when you will lose your life for murdering the innocent people of Model Town.” Assuring the crowd that he would not stop until the culprits of the Model Town incident have been taken to task, Qadri said: “The struggle is not over yet. We will continue on this path until justice is served.”
