LAHORE- Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) chief Tahirul Qadri said on Thursday that forming a ‘grand alliance’ against the government has never been his agenda. He further stated that an All Parties Conference (APC) will take place on June 29.

Addressing media after meeting leaders from various political and religious parties in Lahore, Qadri said that an APC has been called on June 29 on a single agenda of Model Town tragedy.
