 "Zardari says no force will be used against Qadri's supporters")
Islamabad: Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari has ruled out the possibility of using force to disperse cleric Tahirul Qadri’s followers who are staging a sit-in near parliament. Zardari told a Geo News TV host over the phone that no use of force would be undertaken against the marchers in Islamabad. [caption id=“attachment_591708” align=“alignleft” width=“380”]  AP[/caption]
The clarification came when speculation was rife over the Pakistan government’s next line of action to deal with the massive sit-in in the capital. Qadri, a Pakistani-born Canadian cleric and Thehrik-e-Minhajul Quran leader, has been staging a protest along with his tens of thousands of supporters here since Tuesday to seek ouster of the government, dissolution of parliament and a corruption-free Pakistan.
