LAHORE - Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) chief Dr Tahirul Qadri arrived at Allama Iqbal International Airport here on Monday.

The warning letter recommends using bullet-proof vehicle and vest due to a likely threat to the PAT chief’s life. It also urges not to allow any stranger to come close to Qadri’s vehicle upon stopping at traffic signal or road-blockage.
