Quaid’s dreams remain unfulfilled, says Qadri

It is sad that dreams of Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah for a country where cheap justice would be provided to everyone without any discrimination and the Constitution would reign supreme have not been fulfilled.

This was stated by Pakistan Awami Tehreek Chairman of Dr Tahirul Qadri while addressing a cake-cutting ceremony on Quaid Day on Saturday. He reminded the participants that when the Quaid was the Governor General of Pakistan he did not give permission to open the railway gate just because he was the Governor General but today the rulers were violating the Constitution and law as they do not move an inch unless all roads were closed for them. The PAT chief said that the Quaid had banned the involvement of government officials in politics but today police, civil bureaucracy and the Election Commission were part of politics and performed all the dirty work for the rulers. He said the worst example was the Model Town tragedy where the police and civil bureaucracy were involved in the killings of 14 innocent PAT workers. The PAT chairman went to the residence of the late Justice (Retd) Dr Javed Iqbal and offered condolences to Justice (Retd) Nasira Iqbal and their son Munib Iqbal. Later Dr Tahirul Qadri chaired the Central Advisory Council meeting and approved the formation of a think-tank for the projects of health, education, economy, foreign affairs, media and environment. He said without a think-tank, ground realities could not be studied or understood and policies could not be devised. He said he wanted to see PAT adopt the most modern technologies so that it could serve the people to the best of its abilities.
