LAHORE (Dunya News) – The Lahore High Court has stated that it was government's responsibility to take action against PAT Chief Tahirul Qadri’s provocative speeches.

The LHC rejected the plea to issue stay order on PAT’s revolution march while dismissed another petition to arrest Pakistan Awami Tehreek's chief.

The petition related to the arrest of Dr Qadri was heard by a full bench headed by Justice Mahmood Ahmed Bhatti.

As soon as the hearing began, the petitioner stated that Qadri was inciting public to violence through his provocative speeches, adding that he has registered a case against him in Data Darbar police station but the police haven’t arrested him so far.

The full bench dismissed the petition and directed the local to contact Punjab IG for the detention of Qadri.
