Chairman of Tehreek-e-Minhajul Quran Dr Tahirul Qadri addressing a workers' convention here on Sunday said that becoming caretaker prime minister was not on his agenda. Dr Qadri said he wanted to see 'real democracy' flourish in the country and a change that envisaged 'a corruption-free Pakistan' and people living honourably in it.

He reiterated that he would 'not accept any post' before a change in the country's electoral system. Speaking about a change in political scenario, he asserted that a peaceful 'democratic revolution' had commenced. He said that now it would not be possible for just two parties to decide about the country's future.

Thanking those who supported his December 23 public rally at Minar-e-Pakistan, he demanded of the armed forces to provide security to the participants of the march towards Islamabad on January 14.

Commenting on the expenses of the public meeting at Lahore, he claimed that he had sold jewellery of his wife, daughter and daughter-in-law to make it successful.

Expressing optimism about the success of the movement initiated by his party, Qadri said that his party would take the country towards a brighter future, adding that on January 14, an 'Awami parliament' would name someone caretaker prime minister by reposing confidence in him.

Qadri said that he had always lived a simple and frugal life.

He said that his agenda would always remain national sovereignty and people's welfare, adding that the revolution which started in Lahore would sweep the entire country in a week.

Highlighting his speech at the Minar-e-Pakistan meeting, Qadri said that he had not uttered even a single word "about Constitution and the country". A large number of party workers attended the convention.
