Lahore: Minhajul Quran workers and police clash


Lahore- The Minhajul Quran workers pelted police with stones and chanted slogans against the government as the law enforces tried to remove blockades placed outside the secretariat of the organization and residence of Dr Tahirul Qadri today morning.
Heavy contingent of police baton charged the protesters and resorted to aerial firing and tear gas to disperse the angry workers.
The police said that the hurdles were being removed as people were facing difficulties in their movements. Bunkers and barriers in front of Dr Tahirul Qadri’s house were removed.
However, a spokesman for the Minhajul Quran said that the organization had sought the Lahore High Court orders to close the roads near the secretariat. A policeman was critically injured and was shifted to a nearby hospital for treatment. Denouncing the police action, Dr Tahirul Qadri said that the government could not stop the revolution. He also asked the army to take over, because his party was being targeted for supporting the army. MQM chief Altaf Hussain also condemned the ‘police torture’ on Minhajul Quran workers.
