LAHORE
SPEAKERS at a seminar organised by Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) and Minhajul Quran Ulema Council (MQUC) demanded that structure of Police Department should be changed, basic rights of citizens be ensured and governance be made absolutely corruption-free, in order to make the country free of terrorism and lawlessness.
The seminar was chaired by PAT secretary Khurram Nawaz Gandapur and addressed by Ulema of Minhajul Quran, including Syed Farhat Hussain Shah, Allama Imdadullah Qadri, Mufti Arshad Qadri, Pir Tahir Sajjad Zanjani, Allama Ameer Asif Akbar and Allama Muhammad Hussain Azad.
A seven-point resolution passed unanimously said the government must include clerics, journalists, civil society members and top educationists to bring a peace syllabus. A JIT be formed with the consensus of the families of those killed in the Model Town incident. Culprits of Karachi factory fire incident be punished, government must play its role to resolve Kashmir, Palestine and other outstanding issues, reforms be brought in police and all transfers and postings be handed over to Pakistan Army; government be stopped from taking action against mosques and other institutions for using loudspeakers in the guise of the National Action Plan and all criminals held on terrorism charges be hanged without any delay.
Khurram Nawaz Gandapur said, ‘we went to the court to get the report of the Model Town Judicial Commission but the Punjab government started a new debate on the formation of Judicial Commission whether it was constitutional or not.
We fail to understand why this debate has been started when we seek the report under Article 19A which ensures our right to free information.’
