LAHORE: Pakistan Awami Tehrik chief Dr Tahir-ul-Qadri called on Chief of Army Staff General Raheel Sharif to ensure justice for the victims of the Model Town incident.
According to details, Dr Tahir-ul-Qadri held a press conference in Lahore in which he assailed the federal government. Qadri called on Pakistan army to conduct a combing operation in Punjab to rid the province of terrorists and militants. Qadri said that corruption was also one of the main causes of terrorism.
