Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri (Urdu: محمد طاہر القادری; born 19 February 1951) is a Pakistani–Canadian Islamic scholar and former politician who founded Minhaj-ul-Quran International and Pakistan Awami Tehreek.
He was also a professor of international constitutional law at the University of the Punjab. Qadri is also the founding chairman of various sub-organisations of Minhaj-ul-Quran International. He has been included in all editions for the rankings of The 500 Most Influential Muslims since its first edition in 2009.
Early years
Muhammad Tahir ul Qadri was born on 19 February 1951 in the Jhang District of Pakistan.He received non-religious and Islamic Education at a young age. He is the student of Tahir Allauddin Al-Qadri Al-Gillani. He also received a First Class degree, an MA in
Islamic Studies and a PhD in Islamic Law from the University of Punjab where he worked as a lecturer and then as Professor of Law.
Minhaj-ul-Quran
The organisation, Minhaj-ul-Quran International which he founded on 17 October 1980, currently has its branches in over hundred countries. The organisation claims to promote religious moderation, effective and sound education, inter-faith dialogue and harmony, and a moderate interpretation of Islam supposedly employing methods of Sufism. During its March 2011 session, the United Nations Economic and Social Council granted special consultative status to Minhaj-ul-Quran International.
Political career
He founded Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) in May 1989. He contested elections in 1990 where he was elected as a Member of the National Assembly. On 29 November 2004, Qadri announced his resignation as a Member of the National Assembly protesting the dictatorial counter terrorism policies of the then President Pervez Musharraf. In 2005 he moved to Canada.
Long March 2012
In December 2012, after living for seven years in Toronto, Canada, Qadri returned to Pakistan and initiated a political campaign. Qadri called for a “million-men” march in Islamabad to protest against the government’s corruption. He demand the creation of an independent body to conduct electoral reforms that would pave way for free and fair elections, and said that if the constitutional requirements were not fulfilled then he would reject the upcoming elections. On 14 January 2013, a crowd marched down the city’s main avenue. Thousands of people pledged to sit-in until their demands were met. When he started the long march from Lahore about 50,000 people were with him. He told the rally in front of parliament: “There is no Parliament; there is a group of looters, thieves and dacoits [bandits] … Our lawmakers are the lawbreakers.” After four days of sit-in, the Government and Qadri signed an agreement called the Islamabad Long March Declaration, which promised electoral reforms and increased political transparency. Critics have charged that the protests were a ploy by the Pakistan Armed Forces to delay elections and weaken the influence of the civilian government, citing Qadri’s close ties to the military, dual nationality and suspect foreign and Pakistani sources of funding. Lawyers for the Supreme Court of Pakistan claimed that Qadri’s demands are unfeasible because they conflict with the Constitution of Pakistan. The Tribune reported on 17 February 2013, that Qadri seemed to have capitulated on most of his demands in the Islamabad Long March Declaration.
Long March 2014
Main article: Inqilab March On 17 June 2014, a violent clash occurred between the Punjab Police and Pakistan Awami Tehreek activists resulting in the deaths of several protesters from police gunfire. Tahir-ul-Qadri said the police refused to log a First Information Report. The Baqir Najfi inquiry found that police actively participated in the massacre to remove barriers that were installed on orders of the High Court. Tahir-ul-Qadri’s flight was due to land at Islamabad airport however the Pakistani authorities refused landing permission and the plane was diverted to Lahore airport. Tahir-ul-Qadri believed he would be harmed by the Punjab government and was personally escorted by the convoy of Governor of Punjab to his residence in Model Town, Lahore. As of the end of September 2014, the Inqilab March began, with sit-in protests with allied partner Imran Khan, chairman and founder of Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) and organiser of 2014 Azadi March, in the capital of Pakistan, Islamabad. Imran Khan and Tahir-ul-Qadri did not fully join their protest marches nor decline to support each other. On 10 August 2014, Qadri formally announced that his party’s political march, the Inqilab March, would proceed parallel with PTI’s Azadi march. Both marches were organised to take different routes, albeit closely mirroring each other. It is apparent that the two parties have similar objectives yet different aims and strategies. The announcement of two parallel marches by parties in opposition gave rise to speculation that a coalition between PTI and PAT was possible. The chiefs of the two parties never clearly stipulated a formal coalition; but an informal agreement to support each other was achieved. On 21 August 2014, Qadri said that the government had not been allowing his workers to supply food items and potable water to the participants of the sit-in.The Daily Dawn of 31 August 2014 claimed that hundreds of people were injured in the federal capital as police battled throngs of protesters led by Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf and Pakistan Awami Tehreek. Then Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif appointed Chief of Army Staff General Raheel Sharif to act as a mediator. General Raheel Sharif met with Tahir-ul-Qadri and Imran Khan to end the sit-in. It was due to the intervention of General Raheel Sharif that the police report was logged. Tahir-ul-Qadri congratuled his supporters in their struggle for justice. It was reported that Tahir-ul-Qadri led the Eid prayer at Islamabad’s D-Chowk. The congregation was attended by Imran Khan and other political leaders, including Raja Nasir Abbas Jafary of MWM. Animal sacrifies were also offered in the name of Allah following the Sunnah of Prophet Ibrahim and his son Prophet Ismail.
