The Pakistan Sunni Tehreek (PST),hitherto a non-political religious party,has announced that it will participate in the upcoming elections.
Addressing some 15,000 supporters here at the ‘Azad Pakistan Conference’ at Minar-i-Pakistan,PST head Sarwat Ijaz Qadri requested the participants to vote for the Tehreek,or at least cooperate with the party. He labelled the Difa-i-Pakistan Council formed by Ahle Hadith and Deobandi parties the “Fisad-i-Pakistan Council”,and accused it of causing terrorism in the country.
Sahibzada Fazle Karim,the head of the Sunni Ittehad Council (SIC),was not invited to the conference,though the Sunni Tehreek is an important component of the SIC. A PST official said that Karim had not been invited. “He used to take all the credit for SIC gatherings,even though most of the supporters at these gatherings were PST workers,” he said.
