LAHORE: Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) patron Dr Tahirul Qadri said that former prime minister Nawaz Sharif should return and try to launch his electoral campaign under anti-army, anti-judiciary narrative, so he could learn what his true worth is.

He said in a statement on Monday that he was not against state, but against that system which protects killers and corrupt elements like former PM Nawaz Sharif.

He said Nawaz must be ashamed of his remarks against national security institutes, as these are charges which enemies of Pakistan always level against us, adding that the killers of Model Town incident have once again proved that Nawaz, like Sheikh Mujeeb, is tool of some foreign force against the solidarity of Pakistan.

He said his tours of foreign countries are to enlighten hearts of youth with love of Islam, knowledge, peace and patriotism; whereas foreign tours of corrupt elite of Pakistan are meant to look after their palaces acquired with ill-gotten wealth and to conspire against state institutions. He said he will debunk anti-state agenda of Nawaz everywhere.

“Corrupt Sharifs can misguide innocent, simple and poverty-ridden Pakistanis, but not those Pakistani patriots who live in foreign countries,” he said adding that as Nawaz and his family cannot freely roam around in Pakistan, likewise they conceal faces while walking on the roads of London.

He said due to the anti-state agenda of Nawaz, his most loyal party leaders are saying “good bye” to his party. Unabashed Nawaz, instead of mending his ways, is constantly alleging security institutions for these developments, he said adding that indeed he wants to seek help of those foreign patrons who could help him save skin as well as ill-gotten wealth.

He said when Indians were caught from the factories of Sharif family, then he had warned the nation as well as security institutions that Nawaz is more dreadful than Muttahida Qaumi Movement Founder Altaf Hussain.

“There are many Altaf Hussains hidden inside Nawaz. In 2013, many foreign powers invested to bring Nawaz into power,” he said adding that on this disclosure, the Sharif family announced to go to court against “me, but they never ventured to approach courts”.
