Qadri had called the MQM’s London to block Karachi During 2014 Sit in, Raza Abidi

Former Muttahida Qaumi Movement – Pakistan (MQM-P) lawmaker, Syed Ali Raza Abidi said on Tuesday that the conspiracy was obvious during the 2014 sit-in and Dr Tahirul Qadri had called the MQM’s London secretariat asking for help with blocking Karachi.

Abidi said Dr Qadri had made frantic calls to London when he was encircled and was held from travelling to Islamabad from his Lahore residence. “MQM arranged with PML-N for allowing him to leave and we arranged to send food, water for PAT for the trip. He kept insisting to join dharna.”

Abidi’s statements follow Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) leader Khurram Nawaz Gandapur revealing the ‘London plan’ behind the 2014 sit-ins.
