He demanded that (1) Punjab Chief Minister and Rana Sanaullah should immediately resign from their positions. (2) All officers directly or indirectly involved in the Model Town tragedy should leave their jobs till the final conclusion of the case and (3) a neutral and powerful JIT on the pattern of Panama JIT should be constituted to investigate the Model Town massacre. He said that Baqar Najafi Commission report have unmasked the faces of the killers.

Addressing the press conference, Shah Mahmood Qureshi said that it has been proven beyond any shadow of doubt after the release of Najfi Commission report that Shahbaz Sharif and Rana Sanaullah are directly involved in the massacre of innocent people. He said that they do not have any justification to stay on in power even for a second. He said that killing of 14 citizens is an extraordinary event that cannot be ignored at any cost.

Jahangir Khan Tareen said in the press conference that PTI Chairman Imran Khan is with Dr Tahir-ul-Qadri on the issue of justice in the Model Town case. He said that the decision to support the protest at political, public and legal levels is that of the whole party. He demanded of Shahbaz Sharif and Rana Sanaullah to immediately resign and surrender themselves to law. He said that if they do not resign, we will be standing by Dr Tahir-ul-Qadri on whatever decision he takes with regard to protest.

Dr Tahir-ul-Qadri said that if the decision to recognize Jerusalem as capital of Israel was not reversed, an irreparable damage will be done to the peace process in the Middle East.
