Tahir-ul-Qadri gives Nawaz Sharif 24-hours to step down
In a late night development, Qadri's camp was visited by a delegation of Imran Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) led by Vice Chairman Shah Mehmood Qureshi, who convinced the Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) chief to delay his next move.
Following the meeting, the first direct contact between the two groups since they together started the march on August 14, Qadri set a 24-hour deadline for the Premier to step down. Qadri has set a number of deadlines since camping outside the Parliament about two weeks ago.
After their meeting, Qureshi also addressed the PAT crowd and reiterated his party's request to postpone further action, which the protesters did not agree to. At this, Qadri came out of his container and asked his followers to give their assent to the PTI proposal.
He said PAT and PTI had a number of views in common and shared the same struggle, cautioning supporters that the government intended to create a split between the two. Meanwhile, in his late night address, Khan announced that his party would expand their sit-in to rallies in Lahore, Karachi, Faisalabad and Multan.
Qadri asked his supporters to join Imran Khan's protests
Qadri asked his supporters to join Khan's protests. Speaking to his supporters from atop his container outside the Parliament, Khan said he would announce his next step on Sunday.
Khan reiterated that the proposed judicial commission to investigate electoral rigging in the 2013 polls would be unable to probe the matter fully if Sharif remained the Prime Minister. The developments came after direct talks between the government and protesters failed to break the deadlock on Friday.
The army has been active behind the scenes to broker a deal after Qadri and Khan met army chief General Raheel Sharif on Thursday night, sources said. The Sharif-led government has announced to accept all electoral reform-related demands but has rejected the demand asking for the Prime Minister's resignation.
