Zadari rules out operation against Qadri, terror attacks feared

Islamabad, Jan 17: Embattled Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari has ruled out any operation against people taking part in Dr Tahirul Qadri's sit-in on Constitution Avenue in Islamabad, amidst fears that terrorists may sneak in



“I have four different intelligence reports that the TTP wants to attack Dr Qadri and his people. So please call off the sit-in to save the lives of the children and women who are there with you,” he said at a late-night press conference.

“If something happens, you, Qadri Sahib will be responsible for it,” he said.

The minister said a case would be registered against Dr Qadri and members of the committee of his organisation for violating the law. “I have sent the draft of the FIR to the law division for legal opinion,” he said.

Malik said it had been decided that no ‘operation' would be conducted but targeted actions would be taken to send Dr Qadri away from Islamabad.
