LAHORE: The federal government may find itself in a mire once again, as the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and the Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) have decided to launch anti-government campaigns to press the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) on Panama leaks investigation and justice for victims of the Model Town shooting, respectively. PTI Spokesman Naeemul Haq Sunday said that the party chief had announced to hold a rally from Peshawar to Rawalpindi on August 7. “All is set for the PTI rally on August 7 from Peshawar to Rawalpindi to be led by Imran Khan. Hundreds of thousands will join the rally from across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP),” Haq tweeted. The rally is a part of the opposition’s efforts to press the government to launch a probe into Panama leaks. Haq said that decision to take to streets over Panama scam would be announced on August 6. The PTI will also hold processions on August 13 and 14, he added. He said that the PTI was also considering filing a petition against the prime minister. Meanwhile, PAT chief Dr Tahirul Qadri has also announced to hold phase-wise countrywide ‘Qisas Movement’ from August 6 to seek justice for the victims of the Model Town incident. A successful national consultative conference (NCC) of all mainstream opposition parties inside and outside the parliament called by the PAT have assured Qadri of support over the cause. As per details, in the first phase of the movement announced by Qadri, protest rallies and sit-ins would be held on August 6 in Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad, Chiniot, Gujranwala, Faisalabad, and Ghotki. August 16 had been decided the day the party would hold anti-government rallies in Lahore, Karachi, DG Khan, Bhakar, Faisalabad, Rawalpindi, Larkana, Sialkot and Sargodha, while protest demonstration would be held in Hyderabad, Okara, Bahawalpur, Jehlum, Gujranwala, Chiniot, and Toba Tek Singh on August 27. The second and third phase of the movement would be announced after further consultations. A unanimous declaration comprising eight points was also passed by the NCC in which it was suggested that operation Zarb-e-Azb should be continued and extended to Punjab for the effective implementation of the National Action Plan (NAP). The declarations strongly condemned Indian oppression in Held Kashmir while it was also urged to bring sectarian and religious killings to a halt in Pakistan. The declaration also urged the government to curb inflation, unemployment, load shedding, and improve law and order situation with special emphasis on issue of children’s kidnapping in Punjab. A joint action committee (JAC), comprising PAT’s Qadri, PPP’s Latif Khosa, PTI’s Mehmoodur Rasheed, PML-Q’s Chaudhry Zaheeruddin, AML’s Sheikh Rasheed, Sahabzada Hamid Raza and Abul Khair Zubair, also held its first meeting and unanimously decided to start a joint movement against the rulers. According to the JAC representatives, details of the joint parties’ movement would be settled in a couple of days. Pertinent to mention here that both the ‘Qisas Movement’ and Imran Khan’s ‘anti-government rally’ are separate movements but some of the political pundits are of the view that both the movements would turn into a joint movement after testing nerves of the PML-N-led federal government. Representatives from Pakistan People’s Party (PPP), PTI, Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q), Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM), Jamiat Ulema-e-Pakistan Niazi Group (JUP), Jamiat Ulema-e-Pakistan Norani group (JUP-N), Awami Muslim League (AML), Sunni Ittehad Council (SIC), Sunni Tehreek (ST), Majlis-e-Wahdat-e-Muslimen (MWM), Awami National Party (ANP), All Pakistan Muslim League (APML), Jamaat Islami (JI), Pak Sarzameen Party (PSP), Tehreek Hazara (TH), Sindh Taraqqi Pasand Party (STP) and Awami Masiha Party (AMP) participated in the meeting.
