Pakistan: Qadri, Federal Govt's ‘Drama’ at Lahore airport

Sindh Minister for information, archives and localgovernment Sharjeel Innam Memon said he would personally condemn Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) Chairman Prof Dr Tahir Ul Qadri for keeping the Emirate Airliner plane as hostage for 9 hours. He said the air traffic was already reduced in Pakistan while the whole drama staged by Dr Qadri in which he had held a foreign airliner’s plane as hostage for over 9 hours was tantamount to ruining image of Pakistan internationally.

The Minister equally alleged federal government for being part of that drama at Lahore airport and said that federal govt had failed to show signs of serenity in its attitude and had utterly failed to deal with such situations amicably.

He said Pakistan People’s Party had dealt with a more serious situation in Islamabad during a 5-day long sit-in by Dr Qadri and his followers and the PPP had amicably resolved the situation politically. He said the country was passing through drastic hostile situation of terrorism and could not affird such blunders and dramas and hence the federal government and Dr Qadri should avoid staging such dramas in future.

He said PPP would never become part of any adventurous move against democracy and the mandate of Pakistan Muslim league-Nawaz should be respected. All the disputes and issues should be resolved through political dialogue.

The Minister said that whatever was screened in Islamabad on Monday morning was owing to the federal government and Dr Qadri and both were responsible for the panicking situation in the country, which deserved due condemnation.

In reply to a question, Memon said that it was not necessary for Muttahida Qaumi Movement to follow the footsteps of PPP and vice versa.
