The Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) chief arrived at the Allama Iqbal International Airport in Lahore this morning concluding his visit to the US, Canada and the UK. He reportedly visited these countries for medical check up as well as reorganising his party. Carrying balloons, flowers and party flags, hundreds of PAT supporters gathered to welcome him. Giving details of his ‘new strategy to frustrate the government’, the Canada-based cleric said he has now decided to take his sit-ins to other parts of the country. ‘Our struggle is no more confined to a single sit-in but will be transformed into a nationwide movement of sit-ins,’ he was quoted as saying by Express Tribune.
He announced to hold rallies in Bhakkar, Sargodha, Sialkot, Mansehra and Karachi. The cleric had left the country in October last week after abruptly ending his over two-month long anti-government protest in the Pakistani capital leading to speculation that had struck a deal with Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.
