Pakistan Awami Tehreek Chief Dr Tahirul Qadri has said that the party will challenge the ATC decision of not trying the Sharif brothers and a minister in the Lahore High Court. In a press conference via video-link from Canada on Wednesday evening, he said the IGP and other officials were summoned by the court on the basis of evidence provided by the PAT but the mastermind of the Model Town killings had been given a clean chit on the same evidence.
He said the IGP and other officials have no right to stay in office till the final verdict is made. He said Rana Sanaullah had admitted before the JIT that on Jun 16, 2014, a meeting was held at the civil secretariat to remove barriers from Model Town which was attended by Commissioner Rashad Langrial, Home secretary Azam Salman and CM's Principal Secretary Dr Tauqir Shah and others. The court could have summoned the official minutes of the meeting, he said, adding his admission of holding a meeting and the evidence submitted by the PAT were enough to try all the bigwigs. Had the court summoned the June 16 meeting minutes, the masterminds would have been exposed, he said.
