Qadri predicts jail for Nawaz

LAHORE - Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) chief Tahirul Qadri has said that ousted prime minister Nawaz Sharif will soon go to jail.

He was talking to the media after landing at Allama Iqbal International Airport Lahore on Sunday.

Qadri reached Lahore from Canada early in the morning and he was welcomed at the airport by party leaders and workers. He is likely to make a short stay in Pakistan and go back to Canada after Eid-ul-Fitr. PAT chief who also heads Minhajul Quran International, a sister organisation of PAT, will deliver sermons to his followers at Aitekaf City during last 10 days of Ramazan. Minhaj arranges Aitkaf City in the holy month where a large number of faithful sit Aitekaf. Qadri said Nawaz will soon meet his fate as imprisonment awaits him. The PAT chief was referring to the cases filed in anti-terrorism court and accountability court on Supreme Court’s directives. “Nawaz has appeared as an accused before the accountability court. He will be imprisoned for his crimes soon,” claimed Qadri. Noting Nawaz’s testimony in the corruption references, the PAT chief said that instead of answering questions, the latter delivered political rhetoric. He said Punjab chief minister and PML-N president Shehbaz Sharif and his allies should also be held accountable. He said the Model Town case will prove last nail in the coffin of Sharifs.
