Canada-based cleric Tahir-ul-Qadri, who spearheaded an agitation against the Nawaz Sharif Government, was on Friday declared a “proclaimed offender” along with his two sons by a Pakistani anti-terrorism court for failing to appear in a case of arson and vandalism. The anti-terrorism court of lahore also issued non-bailable warrants against Qadri, his sons and two other leaders of the Pakistan Awami Tehrik (PAT) party. The court gave the verdict in a case against PAT chief on charges of arson and vandalism during their protests in lahore last year. PAT leaders Khurram Nawaz Gandapur, Raheeq Abbasi are also among those declared proclaimed offenders by the court for not appearing in the Model Town lahore case despite summons.
