Islamabad: Pakistan Awami Tehrik (PAT) chief Tahirul Qadri said on Thursday that his party had informed Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Imran Khan well in advance about its decision to end Islamabad sit-in.

Talking to reporters before addressing a rally in Abbottabad, Mr Qadri said that it is now up to PTI to decide about the future of their sit-in.

“I will not comment on this… this will be their decision”, Mr Qadri said when asked whether Khan should follow him and end his sit-in in Islamabad.

He said that Imran Khan was informed about their decision days before the end of sit-in.

He said that a sit-in will be held in Haripur on Friday as part of his plans to hold countrywide sit-ins against the incumbent government.

Later, addressing the rally, Tahirul Qadri said that Abbotabad has given its verdict in favour of a revolution.

He added, the scope of the revolution has just been expanded. He said that “the war has only begun.”
