Conspiracy afoot to weaken state institutions: Qadri

LAHORE  - Pakistan Awami Tehreek chief Dr Tahir-ul-Qadri has said that politics is again preparing to crush the State under its feet but said that the nation will not let it happen at all.
Dr Tahir-ul-Qadri expressed these views while addressing the working council of PAT Punjab through a video link on Sunday.
Bashrat Aziz Jaspal, Fayyaz Warraich, Chaudhry Zulfikar Ali advocate, Raja Zahid Mahmood, Raja Nadeem, and other leaders were present on the occasion.
He said that he would announce the course of action for protection of the State on May 11.
He asked the people to leave their homes on May 11 to get their Constitutional rights, adding, that it was futile to keep grieving over the sorry state of affairs. He said that none would confer rights on the people without their asking for them, further stating that they would have to snatch rights from the usurpers. He said that revolution required sacrifices.
He further stated that a conspiracy was afoot to weaken the State institutions by placing the blame of a few incidents at their door-steps.
Dr Qadri said that a clear-cut and intentional anti-Pakistan agenda was being played.
He asked the people to unearth such conspiracies and eliminate them with their collective power.
He said that a lack of confidence was being shown in the defence institutions on dictates from the foreign masters.
He further said that we would change the whole political system of the country and the people would be made participants in the decision-making.  ‘We would bring about change through peaceful and democratic struggle by putting an end to corruption, and plunder of national resources in line with the provisions of the Constitution,’ he added.
He said that millions of youth were without jobs despite having degrees. He said that corruption had become rampant. He said that the country was being pushed into civil war.
