Success of Karachi operation linked with operation in Punjab: Qadri

KARACHI: Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) Chief, Tahirul Qadri on Sunday stated that Pakistan is going through its most crucial time, and operation in Karachi will only be successful if similar operation is conducted in Punjab. Qadri was speaking in a press conference at Khawaja House in Karachi after reaching Pakistan from Canada. “I could not understand the objectives of Karachi operation,” he said warning against sync between politics and terrorism as such collusion will spur terrorism to get spilled over from Punjab to the entire country. There are safe havens of terrorists in Punjab; but, no crackdown ever takes place against them in the province, said Dr. Qadri. The PAT chief underscored the need for elimination of terrorists from Punjab, as terrorists get shelter in the province. “Operations took place in Karachi, Waziristan, Quetta and other parts of the country, but I think success will only be achieved if terrorism is eliminated from Punjab,” he said.
Qadri further stated that the rulers are trying to pave ways for ‘monarchy’ in the country. Letter of Qatari prince has proved their corruption. “Their corruption has been exposed. Now it is test of the institutions,” he added. The PAT chief further emphasized that nation must wake up for resolution of issues.
Qadri said that he loved Sindh and felicitated the people of the province on Sindhi Cultural Day. Last week, in a special interview with Dr Moeed Pirzada, Qadri had stated that corruption to the tune of billions of rupees is being committed whereas ‘Arabs’ are coming to save the ruling family. NNI
