Speaking at the occasion, PTI leader, and renowned singer Ibrar-ul-Haq said that political struggle waged by Dr Tahir-ul-Qadri and Pakistan Awami Tehreek for implementation of Articles 62 and 63 of the Constitution was a bright chapter in the annals of history. He said that Dr Tahir-ul-Qadri was right when he said that election façade was a blot on the face of democracy. He said that it became manifestly clear after the fact of 35 ‘punctures’ came to the surface that the present Parliament would not be able to offer anything to people except disappointment. He said that Dr Tahir-ul-Qadri’s services in multiple fields such as human welfare, education and religion were worthy of emulation.
