[DAWN] Announcing an 'all-party conference' on the Model Town incident on Sunday, Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) chief Dr Tahirul Qadri has backtracked from his earlier stance of forming a political alliance against the government."Forming any alliance or a grand alliance had never been my agenda," Dr Qadri told the media after meeting leaders of various political and religious parties at PAT headquarters here on Thursday.
"I'm not too sure what was..."
PML-Q leaders Chaudhry Shujaat and Pervaiz Elahi, who had signed a 10-point agenda and worked on forming an anti-government alliance for materialising the agenda along with PAT leadership in London on May 31, were also present during the media talk.
Section 4 of the agreement as accessed by Dawn on PAT's official website after the media talk on Thursday reads: "In these circumstances, there is a dire need that all patriotic political forces and segments agree on a broader revolutionary agenda and wage a joint struggle for establishment of transparent and participatory democracy in Pakistan in the real sense."
