Addressing an organizational and training workshop held under the banner of Minhaj Women League, Dr Hassan Mohi-ud-Din Qadri, Chairman of MQI’s Supreme Council, has said that the revolutionary agenda of Dr Tahir-ul-Qadri is not the product of the present age. It rather dates back to 1972 when even MQI had not come into being nor were there any MQI workers. Dr Qadri conjured up the broad contours of the revolution at that time.
Dr Tahir-ul-Qadri said that the Holy Prophet (SAW) advised those whose fathers pass away to mete out excellent treatment towards the friends of their fathers. He asked the youth to stay connected to a mission with which their parents had been connected. It is a mission through which we got the lesson of respect and reverence for the Holy Prophet (SAW), piety, cleanliness and goodness, adding that it is their responsibility to stay in touch with this mission.
