Caretaker set up should not be brought under a deal (Mukmukah) with two parties, he said in his fourth demand.
TMQ leader said wants to be caretaker of the nation rather caretaker prime minister.
A crucial meeting of opposition parties, convened by PML-N chief Nawaz Sharif, has begun here in Raiwand on Wednesday, Geo News reported.
Maulana Fazl-ur-Rahman, Munawwar Hassan, Professor Sajid Mir, Mir Hasil Bizanjo, Talal Bugti, Mehmood Achakzai, Aftab Shepao, Salim Saifullah, Hamid Nasir Chatha, and Sajid Tareen are attending the meeting.
Nawaz Sharif had invited all the leaders of the opposition parties to a meeting in Raiwind.
In a PML-N statement issued here, the situation that has arisen after Tehrik Minhaj-ul-Quran’s long march will be the order of the meeting.
Chief of Tehreek-e-Minhaj ul Quran Dr Tahirul Qadri has given two days deadline to the government to step down, as per Geo News reported on Wednesday.
Continuing with his address to the participants of sit in at D-Chowk, he said that the parliament is protecting goons and plunderers, claiming that they would flee soon. He said that democracy demands the protection of fundamental rights rather than encouraging competition between the powerful and poor.
He praised judiciary for bravado and freedom and said that the government has left no chance to corner the institution.
He said that the tax evaders can never become the members of Parliament and such people can not guard the country. Loyal and honest persons are required to rule the country, he added.
Firebrand cleric said that the lawbreakers cannot be the lawmakers and such offenders have their places in jail and not in the parliament.
He stated that the parliament consists of members who got their loans waived off and questioned that how could they bring true democracy in the country.
Tahirul Qadri said that our Parliament is full of defaulters and thieves who are serving as ministers. Seventy percent of the parliamentarians did not submit their tax return, and on the contrary, a defaulter of even Rs 10,000 is not eligible to become a member of the Parliament as per law, he said.
He, then, questioned the crowd if they have seen any corrupt person serving as a premier any where in the world.
Dr Qadri alleged that the current leadership does not accept the supremacy of judiciary and ridicule the courts. He said had it been in their control, they would have sacked the judiciary as well.
The TMQ leader said that the march will question the financial institutions that who borrowed loans and did not return. He said that according to law, a defaulter should be in jail but here they are ruling the country for the past five years.Qadri said that plunderers and thieves are everywhere and they have made an alliance.
Tehreek-e-Minhajul Quran leader Dr Tahirul Qadri has invited Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaaf (PTI) leader Imran Khan to join the long march on Wednesday, Geo News reported.
While addressing from the million march at D-Chowk, Dr Qadri said that Imran Khan is against the status quo and is not included among the corrupt leaders. He is also seeking change and that is why he incited him to participate in the long march and add power to it.
He said that if they share the same demand, then Imran Khan should also support him to get rid of the corrupt leadership.
Dr Qadri also invited the other parties to work with him and take part in the process to bring change, as it will be achieved only through the long march.
He continued saying that the Army and judiciary did not interrupt the government in the past five years but the leadership could not deliver anything to the masses. He said that people don’t want the offenders to get involved in the legislation.
