ISLAMABAD – With the deadline of January 14 nears, Tehreek Minhajul Quran (TMQ) has increased the pace of campaign in federal capital as its Women Wings are visiting homes to convince women to actively participate in the rally.
Pakistan Awami Tehreek has announced schedule for Dr Tahir ul Qadri's January 14 long march.

Pakistan’s mainstream political leadership appears edgy these days. All of a sudden many politicians seem to have had a revelation that a conspiracy is being hatched to derail the country’s ever-troubled democratic system. Stalwarts belonging to the ruling coalition as well as the key opposition parties are apprehensive about the future of democracy, despite the fact that the elected government appears set to achieve the rare milestone of completing a five-year term in office. Still, nerves are shaky on both sides of the political divide. From Prime Minister Raja Pervaiz Ashraf to the main opposition leader Mian Nawaz Sharif – everyone is trying to send out a single message to the concerned quarters that, despite differences and the exorbitant premium the country paid for keeping this democratic dispensation, political parties won’t allow the system to get derailed ahead of the general elections due sometime later this year.
People see a messiah in Dr Qadri: Irshad Tahir
Federal Interior Minister Rehman Malik has informed the Patron in Chief of Minhaj-ul-Quran International Dr Tahir-ul-Qadri that there is a threat of terrorist attack on the long march. Dr Tahir-ul-Qadri says that though he is ready to meet the federal cabinet led by the prime minister but the long march would not be put on hold.
LAHORE: Federal Interior Minister Rehman Malik, who called on Tehrik-e-Minhajul Quran (TMQ) chief Dr Tahirul Qadri at his secretariat on Monday night, reportedly failed to convince him to give up his proposed march and sit-in at Islamabad on January14. “The march will be held at all costs, and if anyone tried to sabotage it, then I cannot guarantee that it will remain peaceful. “In such a case, those interfering in our peaceful march will be responsible for any untoward outcome,” warned Qadri while talking to reporters along with Rehman Malik after the meeting.
LAHORE: Interior Minister Rehman Malik Monday called on Minhajul Quran chief Dr Tahirul Qadri and apprised him of security threats linked with his proposed long-march on Islamabad, Geo News reported.

LAHORE: Dr Tahirul Qadri assured on Monday that his party would not let democracy be derailed, a week before the Tehrik-i-Minhajul Quran (TMQ) plans to march onto Islamabad. Moreover, he added that his party did not wish to postpone the general elections.
LAHORE: Whether Dr Tahirul Qadri’s January 14 long march accomplishes its desired target or not, it is bound to literally block the Lahore to Islamabad section of the 16th century Grand Trunk Road built by Indian Emperor Sher Shah Suri, as neither does the motorway operate on most hours during the foggy winters in this part of the country nor is the Lahore airport available for to and fro traffic due to extremely poor visibility.
It is being asked whether he has come of his own accord driven by pristine thoughts or has been launched with an agenda. Some say he has been motivated by the uprising in Egypt where the protestors camped at Tahrir Square in Cairo for 18 days starting 25 January 2011 and eventually forced President Hosni Mubarak to abdicate his 30 years rule on 11 February. Professor Qadri revealed his inner thoughts of replicating Egyptian model in his November 19, 2011 video address. They say Qadri wants a similar change in Pakistan by gathering 4 million people at Parliament D-Chowk in Islamabad on 14 January 2013 and forcing the government to accept his demand of appointing impartial, clean and powerful caretaker setup acceptable to all stakeholders inside and outside the parliament as well as Army and judiciary and carrying out electoral reforms before holding elections

LAHORE: Tehrik-e-Minhajul Quran Chairman Dr Tahirul Qadri has said that January 14 would bring about a revolution in the country, and the people of Pakistan will end the hegemony of the so-called political giants of the country.
