He said that he is satisfied on the Chief Justice’s announcement of establishing a larger bench to hear the petition. He said that he is hopeful for justice, stating that he is also satisfied with the government’s cooperation so far. He however added in the same breath that it depends on the attitude of the government as to how far it goes in extending its support to ensure provision of justice.

He said that we are as much resolute for getting justice as we were in the evening of June 17, 2014.

In reply to a question, Dr Tahir-ul-Qadri said that the money received through off-shore companies like those located in Panama is not just illegal, those who sit on the files of public and demand money from the people to do what is their core responsibility also earn illegal money. He said that light on the face and contentment of heart is related to the nature of the means of one’s living.

Dr Qadri said that he has asked the students of Minhaj University that getting education with sincerity is also a form of education. He said that the students should be regular in offering their prayers five times a day in addition to focus on their studies, adopt good company because bad companies has disastrous results. He said that when healthy people will sit in the company of an infected person, they will receive its ill effects. He also instructed the students to offer their prayers in the Mosque.
