Tahir ul-Qadri addressing supporters in front of Parliament House during the Revolution March in Islamabad

Tahir ul-Qadri, Sufi cleric and opposition leader of political party Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT), raises a cricket bat while addressing supporters in front of Parliament House during the Revolution March in Islamabad.
