Dr Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri’s interview with Nadeem Malik on 1st January 2014 on Samaa News
- In Pakistan, sectarian strife kicked off in 80s under the Zia regime
- To resolve the issue of radicalism, first we need to fix who is responsible for aiding and abetting terrorism
- Our past governments sponsored terrorist outfits
- Why is the govt in power if it has failed to check acts of terrorism and is too toothless to eliminate the radicals?
- Todate close to 4500 terrorists have been arrested by the govt, but it hasn’t penalized a single one of them
- Terrorists were raised by the General Zia’s regime - some religious parties were assigned to create jihadists
- To get dollars from the US, the successive govts abetted militancy - it was presented as a monster
- Today, following in the footsteps of the caliph Ali, the govt should deal with the militants with an iron hand
- Some paid govt functionaries and media persons chatter about the issue of my nationality to turn the general public against me
- I have no business abroad. I have my home in Model Town Lahore, and don’t possess even an inch of land anywhere else in the world
- My tehreek has created hundreds of educational institutes and an orphanage for the uplift of the whole nation
- The rulers haven’t rebutted my pro-poor and egalitarian charter, but - out of jealousy - they are flinging dirt on my person
- All the terrorist outfits enjoy the patronage of the government functionaries
- The outfit that is reluctant to enter into peace talks and submit to the Constitution of Pakistan must be put to rout
- Which Pakistani leader lives in the hearts of the people? If the people didn’t love me, they wouldn’t join the peace protest in absentia
- The Pakistani rulers live in Pakistan, but their souls are overseas (their wealth is in the foreign countries)
- I led the Pakistani nation for thirty years, so even the children know me and hold me in love
- General Musharraf’s accountability should start from his takeover in 99, not from 3 Nov 2007
- Musharraf’s trial should include the one who abetted his coup - that is, Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry
- All those bureaucrats who abetted General Musharraf should also be held and included in the investigation
- Article 6 of the Constitution says that the coup stager and his abettors should be charged with high treason
- Revolution is the need of the underclass - the affluent are not in need of it
- Our revolution will come with the people’s power - no foreign power is behind us
- In Pakistan, polls will bring true democracy only when the electoral system is first revamped
- For revolution, I’ll totally count on the disadvantaged segments of society - not any political party
- To stage revolution in Pakistan, I’ll invite every party - which is for change and against terrorism - to join hands with me
- Our revolution will not shed even one drop of blood - it will usher in a peaceful mega change
