The Pakistan Awami Tehrik ( پاکستان عوامي تحريک) ( Pakistan People's Movement) is a Political party in Pakistan. The main aims of this political party were to improve the state of human rights, justice and the women's role in Pakistan. Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) other aim was to remove corruption and the value of money in Pakistani Politics. The Pakistan Awami Tehrik ( پاکستان عوامي تحريک) ( Pakistan People's Movement) is a Political party in Pakistan.

In 1990, Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) participated in the national elections just one year after it was founded. The Pakistan Awami Tehrik ( پاکستان عوامي تحريک) ( Pakistan People's Movement) is a Political party in Pakistan. In 1991, PAT and TNFJ (Tehreek-e-Nifas-e-Fiqh-e-Jafria A shia political group) now known as Tehreek-e-Jafria signed a 'Communique of Unity' in order to promotes social and religious harmony.

Criticism

He has been criticized for his political career even though he officially resigned as an MNA (Member of the National Assembly).

A Toronto columnist was allegedly attacked by his follower for wrongfully claiming that Dr Qadri had claimed "that he could write the name of Mohammed on the moon with his finger. "[23] However, Dr. Tahir ul Qadri's lecture said nothing to this effect, though thousands among the audience believed to have seen that clouds forming in the shape of the Arabic letters, spelling "Muhammad"--photographic evidence and video footage is widely available on the internet. [24] Dr. Tahir ul Qadri and Minhaj ul Quran International (Canada) condemned the assault on the journalist and stated that they will co-operate with the authorities to find the overzealous supporters responsible. [25]


Even though he gives lectures on the Qur'an, his commentary in many respects deviates from the mainstream of muslim ummah over the centuries. For example his Tafseer of Surah Ad-Dhuhaa(93) in which he gives the explanation for the verse 6,7,& 8 in a completely different way. The mainstream explanation is that these verse are addressed to the Prophet(pbuh)from Almighty Allah, but Dr Tahir explains it as though it is addressed to the Ansars of Madinah by the Prophet(pbuh).
Because of these and many other reasons he is criticised by the mainstream ulema.
His teachings have a strong shia leaning,hence his natural alliance with them.
