ISLAMABAD: Claiming victory of the `Inqilab’ and `Azadi’ marches, Pakistan Awami Tehrik (PAT) chief Dr Tahirul Qadri said Monday that they are in control of the entire Pakistan Secretariat and gate of the Prime Minister House and a formal announcement is to be made.

He demanded the formation of national government for carrying out reforms and giving rights and justice to the people.

Addressing activists from his container, the PAT chief said they have won the war with peaceful protests.

He said the movement achieves its objectives when female protesters give sacrifices. He said his workers are in control of the two gates of Prime Minister House and asked them not to allow the PM to flee.

He asked the workers of PAT and PTI to remain peaceful and not to damage the symbols of the state and obey the orders of the army.

Earlier, there were clashes between police and protesters as both sides freely pelted stones and fired teargas shells.

After the clash, as the massive crowd of people started moving towards Pakistan Secretariat, the police suddenly withdrew and did not stop the marchers from entering into different blocks of the Secretariat. The protesters further went ahead and gathered outside the gate of Prime Minister House.

The containers of Dr Tahirul Qadri and Imran Khan remained in front of the Cabinet Block, just a few meters away from each other.—INP
